it's interesting to look at. My eye won't come to rest.#3: Bryan McQuary (irsponge) on Jun 24, 2014
Yeah, just noticed that Marjorie. Really messes with my vision!#4: Wombat (wombatilim) on Jun 9, 2016 [HINT]
This one is tricky; I'm taking notes as I go, so some of this may be unnecessary.#5: Wombat (wombatilim) on Jun 13, 2017 [HINT]
Color logic solves blue & green.
EL on either side.
After I got stuck on LL I checked out R25. If the 2 clues are placed towards the middle, it causes contradictions in R21, so R25C13-18 are white. More LL.
R21 - Regardless which way the 4 clues go, C15&16 are white. This makes C11&20 white also.
Still R21 - If C10&21 are black/red, there are contradictions in C7&19. LL gets you a couple more squares.
C7&28 - If the black/red go anywhere R18 and above, it causes a contradiction in R20-21. White those out, then LL can complete R20 and add a bit to R10.
Stuck here for now. I'm a little confused about the 2.5 difficulty rating. Is there something obvious I'm missing that doesn't rely on assumptions or symmetry logic?
R10: If C15 is black it causes a contradiction in C13. Same logic applies to C16 & 18. Couple squares of LL.
Stuck again, may come back later.
