After solving the green and (optionally) starting the black, take a look at the options for placing the black 2 in R13. No matter where you put it, R12 is white in C10-13. Furthermore, placing a black in R13 anywhere in C16-20 will cause a contradiction in R10-11, so you can make these white as well. Line logic solves from there.#2: valerie o..travis (bigblue) on Apr 29, 2014
i had no problem solving but what is it...i can't see it... need a hint :/#3: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Apr 29, 2014
Just what is it that is dripping? Looks eewww#4: Wombat (wombatilim) on Apr 29, 2014 [SPOILER]
It's paint. Nothing gross :P#5: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Apr 29, 2014
I've updated the description, hope that helps.
Oh, good. Green slime was coming to mind. lol But you made a really good drip.#6: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Apr 29, 2014 [HINT]
I just did deep edge logic on the 2 in r13. If you compare it to r11, you can see that it cannot go anywhere in c17-20.#7: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Apr 29, 2014 [SPOILER]
Then LL to finish.

Great puzzle :)#14: Kristen Vognild (Kristen) on Apr 30, 2014
Comment #4 explains the confusion in 2 and 3. I started to wonder, "Can't these folks read?" ;)#15: Wombat (wombatilim) on Apr 30, 2014 [SPOILER]
Originally it said "And don't let it get on the furniture!" which is what was confusing people :)#16: Kristen Vognild (Kristen) on Apr 30, 2014
Let this be a lesson on the use of impersonal pronouns in puzzle descriptions.
Indeed, it could easily be a spoonful of something vile. :)#17: Susan Duncan (medic25733) on May 5, 2014
