use 2-way logic at the end...someone else can give specifics if they want. (I suck at explanations)

Didn't see him at first, then he popped out at me. Good depiction.

after initial ll:

el the 3-clue in c13 to dot r14
ll
look at the black pixel in r15c11
it is part of a 2-clue in r15 - whether it goes to the left into c10 or the the right in c12, the 1-clue in r16 will be the same column so r16c13 is always a dot
ll to finish
no guessing

i guess i am "someone"

well, you're the first "someone" to post. though I figured you'd be the one....lol

figured I'd lead em in the right direction for now since you're not usually on til later

Like bugaboo, I did edge logic on the 3 in c13 to dot r14 & 15, then LL

But then I did two-way on the 2 in c8. Whether it goes up or down, it will push one of the 2s in r18 or r20 into c10. Thus the highest the 2 in c10 can go is r17. Dot c10r15&16. Then LL to finish.

His is a little more elegant.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.
