Apologies to frustrated solvers! The man likes em tough, and this is probably even too easy for him ;) It is logically solvable without guessing....

I loved the solve! But I don't see anything, may be because it was not meant for me?

Also having trouble.

naw, it's an overall crap image and it's a stretch to make sense of it....a guy pitching a ball, mid wind-up. but he/it has wings. A California Angel pitcher. I had an idea a while back and it didn't work out, but I never deleted the puzzle. this puzzle isn't about the image, but rather the ability to solve it. I'm glad you took the time and did solve, J! Sorry to not leave you with much to look at afterwards....I don't expect rave reviews for this (lol) Just a tricky solve for those who are into working their noodle

Haven't seen Adam on the site since May 4. Anyone know why?

N, I'm not sure where you're stuck and I never tracked the solve. and as I said, I made this a while ago. from memory though....you noticed the 5's in r1 are limited to a range? you saw the el on the 6 in c1? you noticed that you can use el on the 2's in the middle of the grid in r2 to place all 4 of them completely? most importantly, and where the whole thing breaks loose to solve happens by looking at c's 1 and 2....one of the rows has a 1-2 as it's clue. you already have a pixel in that row... and if you're paying attention, you notice that either c1 or 2 in that row must be a black. therefore both clues are accounted for, allowing you to place dots in the entire rest of the r. this makes both the 10 and the 8-1 in the middle c's below your dots, etc etc. not a difficult solve after that...

ummmmm, it was Star Wars Day? May the 4th be with you! Naw, not sure. But I've noticed as well. Hard to believe that he'd just disappear....my guess is that someone got snippy with him or vise versa and he's laying low for the time being. possibly using a diff id to solve and keeping quiet. who knows? or maybe he's busy or just taking time off. anything is just a guess til he comes back and tells us himself. I do miss having him here though....

thanks for the puzzle, kurt! not sure all of these steps are neessary, but here was my solve:

EL dots C8-13R1
EL dots C1R18,19,20
EL dots C11-13R2
since C1R16 or C2R16 must be a dot, C1R10 or C2R10 must be black. that dots C4,5,9-20R10
whether C4R17 orC1R17 is black, C2R16 is a dot.
