Alisa, I feel your loneliness. Do you have anyone you can reach out to? Sometimes when I'm in a similar situation, I visit a nursing home and sing some Christmas songs there. Then I am instantly surrounded by genuine love. Perhaps you could have a similar experience.#2: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Dec 24, 2013
What a wonderful thought, Kathy.#3: Susan Duncan (medic25733) on Dec 24, 2013
Very sad but a good puzzle. I hope you have the best Christmas you can have under the circumstances.#4: Alisa G (sleepsong) on Dec 24, 2013
Kathy, that's a beautiful thought, thank you! I used to go caroling with a group in an oncology ward and that was a truly heart-warming experience, getting to share music with others.#5: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Dec 24, 2013 [HINT]
I'm fortunate that I have a couple of local friends who realized that I was stuck in town due to health reasons (just got out of the hospital because of severe MS-related vertigo) and invited me to their place, so I now have somewhere to go. Still, I've had "I'll Be Home For Christmas" in my head all day.
After ll/cl there is only black left.#6: Jota (jota) on Dec 24, 2013
edge logic on the 13 in r10 makes c1-2 white
two-way logic on the right 1 in r9 - whether it's in c17 or 18, it makes c17r11 black. Then LL.
two-way logic on the 2 in r10 - whether it extends into c22 or c24, r11r24 must be black. Then a little LL.
el4c2=r20-25w
el3c3=r22-23w
and here I seem to be stuck

Merry Christmas Alisa, only you can make it better.#7: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Dec 27, 2013
I understand Alisa#8: Wombat (wombatilim) on Mar 1, 2017 [HINT]
I got a few squares past Joe by using 2-way logic on C2 to figure out the possible placements of the 3 in C3; that eliminated R17-18, R24, and R29-10 in C3. Beyond that, though, I too am stuck.#9: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Nov 28, 2018
Found to require some guessing by infrapinklizzard.
