I guessed correctly the first time, too. You may need to add an extra pixel, so there's no guessing involved. :)

Joe remember the scene in the princess bride where the battle wits? Reminds of that:

lmao

It was easy enough to guess. There were only two ways the 3 1s in column could go. I think some guessing or deep lookahead. Intuitively, it was easy, but that doesn't count.

Joe: I like your logic as well, however it requires more than a two move lookahead. I can go 5 or 6 steps ahead to prove (and have done so with a very few puzzles), but it qualifies as deep look ahead after 2.

come on people check this out:

after initial ll/cl all you should have left are the blue 1 clues in the center area, right?

look at the 2 black pixels in r13 - each of them needs a blue pixel below it but they cant both go in r14 so at least one of them goes into r15; because of this you can dot the rest of r15 except for c11-12
ll to finish
no look ahead at all
no guessing

bug: nice.

Tom: I didn't claim less than deep look-ahead. See my first comment.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.
