Very colorful--fun to solve. Can't judge the solvability 'cause once I recognized the pattern, I made some choices based on what I "knew" it had to be.

Good point, youngl. This is exactly the same reason that when the computer told me it to check it manually to see if it required guessing to be solved, I ignored it.

Smile logic on the "V", and some "fat" smile logic on the "Y".

The Y is the tougher of the two to visualize. One could also use edge logic to show that if the 2 in r20 goes to either side, it will not leave room for the 1,1 in r18. That's the same logic as smile logic, but might be easier to see.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.

To Kristen: I think the E needs it in the 3rd row, because if it is in the 2nd row it sort of looks mutated and fatty. :)
