I have been enjoying these puzzles with commercial attachments. It is a lot of fun to watch the old ads - I think I enjoy them much more than the in-your-face advertising of today.

I have a question. When the system asks you to rate "solvability", I do not quite understand the terms. The trivial vs line logic vs moderate vs deep lookahead. Can anyone explain the differences to me, or is there a forum on the site where this has been discussed please? Sorry to ask such a long question in the comments section - wasn't sure where else to go. Thank you!

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by gator.

I'm not sure that's smile logic, Tom (although I'm still confused on exactly what smile logic is). When you get to that point, there are 5 cells and the middle one is filled. If you fill the 2 to the left, then there isn't room for the three 1s. Likewise for the 2 to the right, so the 3 have to be in the middle of the 5 cells. That's edge logic, isn't it?
