Completely solvable by logic. Nice,challenging puzzle. Some internal edge logic (on the right) and affirmation logic (at the top and bottom left). Thanks for posting it!#3: Nathan (SirMoose) on Dec 6, 2011 [HINT]
Yeah, just checked again and it is solvable by logic, although I almost stumped myself a few times. I had to use some of that fancy internal edge logic a few times, but it worked out just fine. I wrote up my logic for solving through the puzzle just to make sure it was indeed possible.#4: Jota (jota) on Dec 7, 2011 [HINT]
Of course is logically solvable! Who's marking it as not?#5: Nathan (SirMoose) on Dec 7, 2011 [HINT]
Where can the 4 in R16 go?
After getting much of the bottom left done, I did internal edge logic on the 5 in C2 to put a dot in R16 C2. Then, since you should know by then that both the 4s in C4&5 can't both be in R20, you can mark R16 in C5 and 6 as black.#6: bugaboo (bugaboo) on Dec 7, 2011 [HINT]
i also did what you did with the 4 clues at the bottom to mark r16c5-6 black but line logic still cant solve the rest#7: Marie-Louise Ambrey (marz71) on Dec 9, 2011
look at the remaining clues in c4-6 (they are all >1) and all 3 of them cant extend into r7 (at most 2 can, but 1 must go up into r5) so you can mark r5c6 as black
then it solves out with line logic
nice solve
no guessing
I needed to save this one and come back to it, but I did it, no hints and no guessing, very fun puzzle Nathan, thank you :)#8: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Dec 12, 2013
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by jan.#9: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Jul 25, 2014
bug's right, 4 in r16 doesn't finish it. fun solve!
