after line logic ends look at rows 12 and 13#6: Tom King (sgusa) on Dec 4, 2011 [HINT]
you already have the 1 clues in those rows filled in (in c1) so the black clues in c6 each belong to the next 4 clue in both r12 and r13
they cant both extend to the left into c5 (only a 1 clue is left in c5) so at least one of them must extend into c7 so you can put a black in r13c7
more line logic
now that you have more dots in c3, do the same thing again in rows 12 and 13 (they cant both extend into c5 so at least one of them extends into c8 now (so you can dot all of the rest of c8 except for r12 and r13)
line logic gets all the rest now solved except for the smile logic at the end
no guessing

David: That is how I solved it. Thanks, Aldege & Joel.#11: Teresa K (fasstar) on Dec 4, 2011
Tom I think this is perfect the way it is! Three objects, all quite easily recognizable. And a fun solve. Well done!#12: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Dec 4, 2011 [SPOILER]

Found to be logically solvable by gator.#16: Jota (jota) on Dec 5, 2011
To each it's own meaning, I kept see in a leaf (ball), a leave blower (helmet) and a twisted shovel!#17: Syla Vims (syla) on Dec 19, 2011
i liked the challenge#18: Judy Baumann (JudyBee) on Feb 29, 2020
Great title.#19: Donald Clysdale (don) on Nov 16, 2020
Great puzzle! I have to admit I am amazed by all those who remember their moves to solve a puzzle. Do you solve it multiple times, write down your moves, or just remember? Reading all the hints afterwards, I did recognize David Bouldin's #8 as how I did it. Again, most pleasant puzzle.#20: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Nov 18, 2020
i usually write down my advanced logic moves if it seems like it's worth it...which depends heavily on whether someone has already given hints but also depends on the complexity and whether i've enjoyed the puzzle up to the point line logic runs out. i will also sometimes solve a puzzle a second time if i didn't track it the first time and it seems like it is needed. just hit or miss really, but i definitely don't keep moves in my head :)
