if and when you get stuck....you can indeed logically narrow down the realm in which a number clue must lie without the use of deep look-ahead or a guess. it'll solve after that.#2: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Mar 1, 2013
that's as much of a hint as I'll give for now.....
Great puzzle! I must confess. I guessed based on what I had solved up to that point and luckily I was right.#3: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Mar 1, 2013 [HINT]
thanks, Norma :)#4: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Mar 1, 2013
ok...it's the 4 clue in the second to last row in which you really need to pay attention. (hope you can see what I'm talking about. I don't think it's deep look-ahead anyway...not even gonna attempt to explain it)
interested to see what bug, bouldin, infrapink, etc have to say. I'll re-tweak if one of em calls it deep#5: bugaboo (bugaboo) on Mar 1, 2013
you are making it too hard#6: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Mar 1, 2013
after initial ll:
el the 7 clue in c20 to dot r15
ll to finish
no guessing
7 clue is in c21....#7: Jota (jota) on Mar 1, 2013
hummmm, yeah. didn't see it before. overly tired today...
Not deep, just super cute! Thanks!#8: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Mar 2, 2013
same solve as bug. cool puzzle. i assume the difficulty rating spiked in the beginning because you implied it was hard from the get-go ;)#9: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Mar 2, 2013

The Gummi Bear TV show theme song is now stuck in my head...
For me, figuring out where to put the first "4" in row 6 was the key. Once I figured it couldn't be in column 15, the rest came very cleanly.
This was a very very fun solve! And a cute picture as well.
