Once line logic gets you stuck:#8: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Apr 6, 2018
- Take a look at the remaining clue in C4 (R17-20). You can eliminate R17C4 because it would cause a contradiction in C6.
- Regardless of whether or not the 4 clue in R5 goes in the first group of 4 open spots, R6C12-13 are white.
The last empty area in R30-36 C30-34 is the only area where I'm not sure whether the logic is advanced enough to count as "guessing." Taking a look at the available clues, I could tell the remaining blacks had to be in a zig-zag pattern starting in the upper left of that area, but I'm not sure this one meets our standards for either edge logic or look-ahead.
Great image. Very tough solve. Did have to guess at the end.
