Puzzle Description:

A 1953 Chevrolet comes to rest against the guardrail that prevents cars from falling into the frigid waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The driver of the car lost control and skidded on the snowy road,running over 3 pylons before stopping. A penguin sits on a floating iceberg and calmly observes.

Funny! I don't know why this was marked as being so difficult. It has a bit of edge (or zig-zag) logic at the bottom right, but it was a pretty fun, straightforward solve.

I like the white top and the penguin (he's a long way from home, though ;)

You are right about the frigid part - it doesn't get that warm even in the summer! Awesome puzzle Aldege

Thx Susan,not that warm in the summer is perfect,i hate it too hot. I would prefer to be too cold cause i can always dress warmer.:)

I could get all but the lower right corner with line and color logic.

I started with C30; If the 2 clue there started in R37, I reached a contradiction in C32. Did some line logic. That gets you almost done, with an even smaller unsolved patch in the lower right corner.

Next I took a look at R40, and saw that putting the remaining 2 in C35-36 caused a contradiction in R39. Line logic gets you finished the rest of the way.
