Still can't award absolutely nothing. The title hasn't been broached...#6: Kristen Vognild (Kristen) on Dec 22, 2012
Frustrating, isn't it? :)#7: Teresa K (fasstar) on Dec 22, 2012 [SPOILER]
Bye-bye boys! Have fun storming the castle!
(Think it will work?) (It would take a miracle)
Bye!!
It reminds me of a battle scene of some kind. A battle of wits perhaps?#8: Tom King (sgusa) on Dec 22, 2012
My kids were watching this on TV yesterday. One of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite movies. I don't need the prize though, maybe someone else will claim it. :-)
The frustrating part is that it has a ? and is rated 2 stars in difficulty...#9: Wombat (wombatilim) on Feb 6, 2017 [HINT]
EL on C30#10: Tom King (sgusa) on Feb 13, 2017
EL on the 5 in R20
EL on the 4 in R19... make sure you note that R19C18-19 are white as well since any combination involving those causes a contradiction in R18.
You can use EL to eliminate a few squares in R1. Then if I look 2 steps ahead, I can see that marking R1C19 black causes a contradiction in R3. Now I can do a little LL, then look at C19: Whichever row the 2 clue goes to, it leads to the beginning of the 3 clue in that row. Either way, R3C20 is black.
Line logic solves from here.
Thanks again, Wombat. Perhaps the "guessing" will eventually disappear.#11: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on May 13, 2020
