I did it differently: after the first logical bits, I used edge logic to find the seven in C1, and then it was easy sledding.#8: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Nov 29, 2011
Found to be logically solvable by gator.#9: Gator (gator) on Nov 29, 2011 [HINT]

Thanks, everyone! I'm glad it was a challenge ;-) It was also one of my more "artistic" efforts :-) How does it only get rated "average" in difficulty? Is that because it was fairly easy to guess?#11: Marie-Louise Ambrey (marz71) on Nov 30, 2011
I have found that an average rating for this size puzzle means that it is pretty hard. An easier puzzle on a bigger grid can get a higher difficulty rating, weird I know. Maybe some people rate difficulty on how long it took them to complete the puzzle.#12: Teresa K (fasstar) on Nov 30, 2011
Very challenging, but such a fun challenge. This is a good size for solving tricky edge logic.#13: Joel Lynn (furface1) on Nov 30, 2011
Challenging solve and nice image, Tom.#14: Tom King (sgusa) on Nov 30, 2011
Thanks for your comments. I am looking for some 20x20 B&W to solve. I kept trying to keep it at one move, I didn't want anyth9ing in the blank space, otherwise, I would be known for that (and Kristen would murder me ;-) ) It was my longest create/solve, and I used th helper button (I didn,t know it existed on the two previous puzzles that were similar in difficulty).#15: Kristen Vognild (Kristen) on Dec 1, 2011
Hey now, objects in the white space can be essential sometimes to make a solvable puzzle. I just have a tendency to interpret things differently than the author intended.#16: Teresa K (fasstar) on Dec 1, 2011
And I for one enjoy your different interpretations, Kristen. :-)#17: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Dec 1, 2011
Thanks, Teresa :D#18: Velma Warren (Shiro) on Mar 2, 2020
Nice image. Very tough puzzle. I did have to guess 3 times.
