Instead of "fun with patterns" this is a "pattern with funs" :-)

A complete joke of a puzzle for solving (since massive guessing is required) but I thought it was fairly funny, and it fit well with the other puzzle I mentioned.

R22 C1 should have a black square. ;)

Yes indeed. It is now fixed.

Usually this kind of puzzles, with unique solution, but marked as needing guessing, have critical clues that reduce a lot the possible branches on which one tries to backtrack. But for this one I cannot find them. It's the only one where I got stuck and do not see how I can advance. :)

Ok, I just went on with a wrong solution till the end, ignoring the mistakes that appeared as I filled the puzzle, and solved the contradictions in the end, because this is easier. Tough.
