after line and color logic ends (through which all the green can be placed) simple edge on the 5 clue in c1 (which also can be completely placed) lets this solve out with line logic#2: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Oct 7, 2011 [SPOILER]
no guessing
agree bugaboo :)#3: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Oct 7, 2011 [SPOILER]
more info from our friends at wikipedia:
The temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the largest Hindu temple in Indonesia, and is one of the largest and the most beautiful Hindu temples in Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its tall and pointed architecture, typical of Hindu temple architecture, and by the towering 47m (154') high central building inside a large complex of individual temples. One of the most majestic temples in the Southeast Asia, Prambanan attracts many visitors worldwide.
Cool. I love those Hindu temples!#4: Jota (jota) on Oct 7, 2011

thanks all...#8: Teresa K (fasstar) on Oct 8, 2011
tom, not sure what you mean. am I the "pointed architect"?
Yep, no guessing. Fun solve, David. Too bad you had to do a plane view and not the ground view, it sounds pretty impressive.#9: Kristen Vognild (Kristen) on Oct 8, 2011
Altitude = 162 meters = 500 ft. But Sylvain will probably say that's okay. :-)
He probably meant pointed architecture?#10: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Oct 9, 2011
yes Kristen...you got the point#11: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Oct 10, 2011
i think the reason that tom's comment confused me is that i AM an architect :)#12: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Oct 17, 2011
Found to be logically solvable by gator.#13: GabrielMyCat (gabrielmycat) on Mar 9, 2012
