Note: The helper can get stuck on color logic, and I was using it between steps to retrace what I did here for these hints. Assume there's line and color logic between each section, and each of these may be available before all of the available line & color logic is complete.#5: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Aug 3, 2012
Take a look at C40. There's 2 blocks of blue clues where the 7 could potentially fit. The lower one causes a contradiction in C39, so use the higher one. This leads into some edge logic on the 6 in C39.
Take a look at C33-34. There is a 2x8 open set of squares at the bottom, all 1 clues in the applicable rows, and the columns have a 4 available in one and a 1 & 3 in the other. 4+1+3 = 8. Use some alternation/smile logic here.
There's a blob of red near the bottom. Use some edge logic on the red 6 in R34 (if it goes all the way to C25 you hit a contradiction).
Check out C2. Watch what C3 does depending on where you put the 4 in C2. Note that regardless of where the 4 goes, the lower 5 in C3 has to extend downward, so you can fill in C3 R36-38.
From there, you should be good to go.
I'm sure Aldege is good to go#6: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Aug 4, 2012
