A nice challenge in a small puzzle. No guessing.

thanks lollipop.

it always amuses me when the difficulty rating is less than 2 and there is a question mark :)

after line logic:
edge logic on the 13 clue in r9 and on the 7 clue in r2
more line logic
no matter where the 2 clue in c17 goes (into r7 or into r9), r8c16 is always a dot
more line logic
internal edge logic on the 2 clue in c5 to dot r5c5
more line logic
then edge logic on the 2 clue in r3 to dot c9 and it solved out

i must have missed the second two-way step

regardless it was a fun solve with no guessing and a very nice image too

as far as the "?" with a low difficulty rating the only time i expect to see that is when there is an easy puzzle that comes down to like 2 pixels at the end where they could go in either of two positions

you found it, you just viewed it as internal edge logic rather than two-way.
