Cool puzzle Lilly,I love these dogs.#3: Lilly Johns (LJohns315) on Jun 16, 2011
Thanks, Aldege.#4: bugaboo (bugaboo) on Jun 16, 2011 [HINT]
i used edge logic on each 4 in r17 and it solved out#5: Lilly Johns (LJohns315) on Jun 16, 2011
no guessing
although it was symmetrical i think this is your best puzzle by far ljohns
Thank you, Bugaboo.#6: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Jun 17, 2011
i agree with both statements of bugaboo#7: Lilly Johns (LJohns315) on Jun 17, 2011

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by blurglecruncheon.#11: Andrew Schultz (blurglecruncheon) on Jan 31, 2024 [HINT]
I know symmetry in general isn't viable but here *I think* we can use a (mathematical) symmetry argument. 81% with LL/CL and if both 2's in C14/16 go up we have a contradiction R15. Since the numbers are symmetricalwe can assume C14 or C16 points down.#12: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Feb 1, 2024 [HINT]
If that's not viable we can use edge logic on R17. But I like the symmetry argument, if it's valid.
To avoid Symmetry, you can go with Internal Edge Logic or Double Smile Logic, for the mouth :-3#13: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Feb 2, 2024 [HINT]
I did the same thing as Bugaboo: Line and color logic to 81%, then some internal edge logic in row 17, then line logic to finish.
Cute puzzle!
