Puzzle Description:

Who knows - I might try to do the series! Guess the pikto!

#1: Bryan (Cyclone) on Feb 7, 2014 [HINT]

Tested in my solver - when line logic runs dry, edge logic is usable in the upper-right of the remaining area on a couple of three clues (C35 clears four squares, then C34 for a single square).

After edge logic in C34, the puzzle solves the rest of the way with line logic.

The edge logic that did it for me was with the 2 in R19. That let me dot several squares that would otherwise have messed up the 1 in R20.

Biathlon?

That would be my guess, also. Nice puzzle.

Ditto Ellen and Norma.

ditto ellen, norma and heather :)

Just tried with the hint in #2. That works even cleaner. Nice find. =)

AWESOME! Thanks!

this is that Olympic event where you use your massive Popeye like forearms to help you cross country ski with your cello strapped to your back,to a rendezvous with the other members of your 4 member ensemble to play a concert for the Olympic judges,in order to sway their votes for your countries athletes.Nice image Bryan.:)

What's the name of this sport, Aldege. My memory seems a little fuzzy.

Re #10, I call that "bribery". =D

Working on the next one.

Glad to hear that Bryan.

New one is posted - but you'll notice I had to do the next one differently. It couldn't solve the original way without guessing, I thought.

I did edge logic on the 5s in rows 15 and 16.

If the 5 in r16 goes right past c31, then it will mess up r14, so r16c32-35 are white.

Then the same for r15. So r15c32-35 are white.

Then LL to finish.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.

the 2 in C31 helped eliminate a few of the blanks in C32 and C33 once LL sputtered.

Aldege, I believe it's called "cross-bow and cello-country skiing".

Very good, annalivia :)
