Guessing analysis.

The red question mark can be solved an alternate way. This alone confirms guessing required.

Black analysis:

- The 4 and 5 in the bottom rows can be narrowed from the left by edge logic.
- A unique edge attempt on the rightmost black 2 eliminates one square that pretty much fills out R11.
- After a little line logic, trial and error on the 2 in C17 shows that R11C16 MUST be true, finishing R11. This also uses two-way logic, forcing a true square in R9 to either C16 or C17, and another to C10 or C12, forcing the rest of the row false.
- However the 2 solves in C12, R9C10 is true.
- In C9, only R7 or R8 can be true depending on how the 4 clue solves in C11. Mark the three squares above as false. Line logic starts the 3 in R4.

At this point, I had to guess. Trial and error solving the 2 in R6 found that R6C11 is false. Even then, it still wasn't enough.

So this puzzle is invalid as much guessing is indeed required. Can Gator or someone happen along and mark it?
