This is quite nice Lilly,i'm assumimg the top left and bottom right are people eating them,is that correct?#2: Lilly Johns (LJohns315) on Aug 13, 2011
Thanks, Aldege. Your assumption is correct.#3: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Aug 13, 2011 [HINT]
i couldn't get it to solve logically. got all of the other colors and a little over half the green, got far enough to located one of the 3 in C4 and two of the 4 in C5...i was struggling pretty hard when my browser suddenly crashed and took my partial solve with it. very sad.#4: Teresa K (fasstar) on Aug 13, 2011
I got as far as you did, David. I would be bummed to have a crash after all that work.#5: Lilly Johns (LJohns315) on Aug 13, 2011
I guessed at the rest and finished okay. Yummy puzzle.
I'm sorry for your lost work, David. My internet connection is a fragile as a tea set. Frustrating!#6: Synthia McBride (synthia) on Aug 13, 2011 [HINT]
Thanks, Teresa.
Are those goblins and imps eating the grapes? :)#7: Beth Greenwald (bethgreenwald) on Aug 14, 2011
I think it could be solvable by logic alone if you added a little more green in the lower left-hand corner.
I managed to solve it without any guessing. Good puzzle.#8: Gator (gator) on Aug 15, 2011 [HINT]
After I got as far as I could with color/line logic, I used edge logic on the remaining 2 clue in column 16 to make R17C16 and R18C16 dots. A little more line logic.#9: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Aug 15, 2011
The next one is a little hard to see, but imagine if the remaining 6 2 clues in row 13 were pushed as far right as they could go. Then cells R13C6-R13C11 would be where the 6 clue would be and R13C13-R13C14 would be where the 2 clue would be. If you look how row 14 is affected, you will see that it is impossible to complete row 14. So we know that the 6 clue cannot go all the way right and must occupy R13C5. The rest solved with line logic.
Found to be logically solvable by gator.#10: Lilly Johns (LJohns315) on Aug 15, 2011
Thanks, Beth and Gator.#11: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on May 3, 2021
Can be served casual or fancy ... or in the 'spirit' in which they are partaken ;)
