This puzzle is in response to Forum topic 325 ( http://webpbn.com/read.cgi?type=T&id=325 ) where LoloJean asks about edge logic using more than one clue.#2: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on May 6, 2012 [HINT]
Note: THERE IS NO PICTURE - ONLY LOGIC.

Can't believe i got it .... cool one Joe#6: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on May 7, 2012
These explanations are far more confusing to me than the 5 seconds of logic I used to start this puzzle. I saw the places where the 1s had to go, and put them there. :)#7: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on May 7, 2012
Like Minesweeper, I use pattern recognition as much as actual logic.
Thanks for the comments!#8: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on May 7, 2012
bug and David - The problem with making a demo puzzle is that there's almost always another way of doing something. Especially when you want to come up with something quickly to show a single point, or are adapting another puzzle to accentuate your point (and in this case avoid copyright infringement). Thus the title and comment 1 to show the intended thrust.
Kristen - That's why I usually make visual tutorials. I find it harder to read these and visualize than I do to solve the puzzles, too. It is much easier to see the placements and ramifications than to read it and try to work it out from text. But those take quite a bit more time, and this was just a single point. And it was bedtime.
Minesweeper was very interesting for me when I was figuring out the logic. Then I learned the patterns that signaled each type of logic. (E.g. 121 means the ones next to the 2 are clear; and if it's on an edge, then the 1s are mines; 1221 has mines next to the 2s, etc) Then pattern recognition turned it into a zen activity. Eventually it was a speed-zen activity.
Well it seems it helped LoloJean, so original mission accomplished!
Exactly! (re: Minesweeper)#9: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on May 7, 2012

Found to be logically solvable by gator.
