#1: Tom King (sgusa) on May 25, 2014 [HINT]

Advanced logic is necessary

Fat Man in the Bathtub by Little Feat

CONGRATULATIONS, Richard!!! YOU are the GRAND PRIZE WINNER of ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!

hahahaha. that's not much of a hint for solving, Tom...you sure you had to classify it? lol ;)

Clean song?

Clean enough, Norma. Little Feat always plays along the line... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkZsSydzQjM&feature=kp

Funny thing, Kurt. When you put LLS in the title or close to the title, I avoid using EL or 2 way. Smile logic always gets me. I still think it is guessing but let it slide. I appreciate the strategy reference that you provide. Probably shouldn't bury it as a hint, but thought about after posting. If I edit, I don't know if Richard gets credit, but I was the first comment so I suppose it didn't matter.

I was going to guess "Splish/splash, I was taking a bath.

you can always change the title or description. as long as it's the words and not the puzzle that you're editing, it doesn't mess with the comments or do the whole "new version published by" thing

oh, and fun puzz, Tom! and yes ppl, it does solve with logic and no guessing....

:)

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.

After Line Logic
Edge Logic 4 r1 = c1-6, c8-11 white
LL

Extended edge logic on the 3 in r3:
> Note that wherever the 4 in r1 goes, it will trigger at least one clue in r2.
> Now EL 3 r3 - if it were in c2-4, it would trigger both clues in r2 leaving none for the 4 in r1 to trigger.
= so the 3 cannot be there and r3c2 must be white.

LL (pay attention to c3)

EL 3 r3 = c4-6 white
LL to finish
