Drat, I'm not the only one making tiger faces. ;)

I completely forgot about the title as I was solving. At first I though of lapis lazuli, and then I just got caught up in finishing the kitty face.

this didnt require any advanced logic...it was pretty easy.

Awesome solve! Thanks!

thanks, Jota :)

nice solve and image kurt :)

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by gator.

After the initial line/color logic, I used edge logic with the 5 clue in row 4 on the right. It cannot go in columns 26-30 without making row 5 invalid. So R4C26-R4C30 are dots. Continuing the edge logic with the 5 clue in row 4, you can also make R4C11-12 and R4C20-23 dots. Line logic.

Edge logic with the 6 clue in column 30 makes R6C30-R8C30 dots. Lots of line logic.

Edge logic with the 4 clue in row 25 makes R25C1-2 dots.

Next consider the 2 4 clues in column 1. If we try to place the 4 clue starting at R1C13 or R1C12, then column 2 would be invalid. There is only one combination left if the 4 clue is to go in the upper part of column 1 (2 clue at R5C1-R6C1 and 4 clue at R8C1-R11C1). Looking two moves ahead, this will make column 2 invalid as it produces three 2 clues in a series. This tells us that the 4 clue must go into the lower part of column 1 (and hence R18C1 is black).

If the 4 clue in column 1 extends down to row 20, column 2 will be invalid so it must go up making R16C1 black. Line logic to finish.

Very fun puzzle!

thanks Gator!

great solve & pic

thanks Tom! :)

Pretty

It looks to me like it is up side down.

Looks good to me, too! I can see it either as is or reversed.

solved. reverted once.
