Thanks for the 20x20 B&W, Marz. I was really craving one. Nice image and good level of challenge!

although you may be tempted to do edge logic on multiple edges at some point, all you have to do is use it on the 11 clue in c1 at some point and line logic will solve the rest
no guessing

I just did a 10x10 version of this. This is really good. No guessing.

I am coincidentally watching CSI, and the opening scene is a football helmet bouncing down the road with a head still inside it. I thought it was funny.

Nicely done, Marie-Louise. He looks like a youth - a determined-to-win youth. :-)

excellent image, marz! ...and bugaboo is right, i was tempted to edge logic all over the place. a little differently though, i just did it on the first 6 in R20 and the rest was line logic.

Found to be logically solvable by gator.

Excellent puzzle.

OK, I'm going to ask a favor. Do you think it would be possible to get a second version of this puzzle that was line logic solvable? This one just feels like it could be so close to being that way. Also some of the existing line logic in this puzzle before having to do the edge logic is great. In return, I PROMISE to make two new puzzles. Deal?

I will give it a go Gator, deal! :)
