I had to guess. The computer said it had a unique solution and I was in a rush so I submitted it. I don't think it is solvable by logic alone. Sorry guys. :(

That's a TINY glass of soda!! :)

...down to 58 blank squares left to fill...still trying without guessing...

I had to guess.

Yea - I usually try the combo two-way logic whenever I am truly stumped. It was hard for this puzzle because I already knew the solution so I just wound up guessing.

Your making me hungry Levi,good job.:)

Haha, you guys are funny.

Levi, your comment #2 should be classified as a spoiler, not a hint.

David, telling us what your moves felt like didn't really help if you didn't give us the coordinates. So I don't think that counts as a hint. But thanks anyway.

Kristen, assuming a few 2x2 squares is guessing, not a hint.

Tom, your hint is a real hint. I'd say thanks, but I got as far as you did and am stuck in the same spot. Arrggghhh.

Jota, I'm with you - have to guess to finish this one.

dbouldin i had almost everything you had for a while when i got stuck
i was reading over your hints and i was confused about one of them (upon which the rest apparently hinges):
about halfway through your hints, you wrote "EL C2 to dot C3R14-15"
how did you do that?

Found to be logically solvable by gator.

Probably one of the hardest 20x20s out there. Great solve.

that worked
thanks
great solve

I just did this by random - the image looked to me to be alighter about to be applied to a rather dirty jock strap - either that was just a decision that it was too dirty to be washed, or else it was an act in (dubious) support of women's lib (to match the libbers burning their brassieres).

Nice slice of pizza. Looks yummy. For the left edge of the pizza, I used lookahead all the way down and found that it never contradicted any columns and rows. I suppose that is technically guessing, but you must admit, if it wasn't the correct solution, it probably would not have worked all the way down.

Lookahead is a valid logical step. Note that the solvability is listed as "moderate lookahead".

I just felt that I settled and didn't rule out other options before I went ahead. After all, just because the direction I went in worked as far as I took it, didn't mean that another way wouldn't work. The way I settled for could have led me down a false path after I'd gone quite a ways. Obviously lookahead is valid, but I felt with this particular puzzle at a particular spot, it needed more. Maybe, maybe not. I think I'm at the solving stage of a sophomore, which means "wise fool." I think I know everything that I'm doing, but I've still got things to learn. Neehee. ;D

Sorry, double post.

I saw what perlwood saw - but instead of a jockstrap I thought it looked like a banana hammock on a clothesline
:/

the whole time i solved, I thought the slice was a cocktail and the other was a flask in the distance. i totally do see the pope in the pizza
