As I was solving the upper half, it looked like a "dancing through the meadow" badge. :)#4: Gator (gator) on May 15, 2012 [HINT]

Found to be logically solvable by gator.#6: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on May 15, 2012
Found to require some guessing by gator.#7: Andrew Schultz (blurglecruncheon) on Mar 15, 2022 [SPOILER]
Pioneering was a tough merit badge even if it wasn't required for Eagle Scout. If you got it at summer camp, you got mad respect.#8: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Mar 15, 2022 [HINT]
Gator's solution looks like it leaves nothing to chance. Should this be deep lookahead instead of guessing? Because maybe back in 2012 we only had "lookahead" and "guessing" and no deep lookahead option?

I'm sure we have quite a few puzzles out there that could be reclassified as deep lookahead instead of guessing. :)#11: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Mar 16, 2022
Yep! I've caught a few, but I'm sure there are many more. I'm currently working my way through the puzzle list, starting from the beginning. I'm still in the 3000s, I think. :)#12: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Mar 17, 2022
