Excellent Tom! I woke up to find this wonderful puzzle awaiting me, I was a bit scared, as it had a red ? (sillies) but it is completely solvable by logic alone, and super fun too. I just needed to do some edge logic on 3 sides, with some extra on the top with the 7 clue, and the rest was fun line logic. Lovely image too, she's gorgeous! Thank you Tom :)

Agree with comment #1. I was able to solve logically. No guessing required. Line logic, then edge logic, then some extended logic on the top rows cracked it for me. But I have no idea what the picture is supposed to be.

It's a woman sitting, with her right knee bent up.

Ahh,i see it now,i thought it was a hand wood plane at first. Good one Tom.:)

Great puzzle, Tom! Ditto #1. Completely solvable by logic.

agreed on the no guessing

after initial line logic all i had to do was use regular edge logic on the 7 clue in r1 (getting 5 dots to the left in c1-5 and 1 dot to the right in c20
then i used extended edge logic on the 7 clue in r1 (looking into r5) to get 2 more dots in c18/19 and the rest solves with line logic

great solve

thanks all you good solvers for removing that check mark :)

Good puzzle Tom,I agree with all above on the logic issue. I learned that sometimes with some solutions you need to step back from the screen to enjoy the full effect. This was one of them for me. Thank-you
