This is a 4 part series getting increasingly difficult in solutions. None are hard. My purpose is to help new puzzle creators and those that rate puzzles to understand them, how they are made and how they are solved. If you have any questions, please ask.#4: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on May 29, 2014
yeah, I have a question...#5: Tom King (sgusa) on May 29, 2014
is there any direct correlation between the amt of puzz's you just published in a 24 hr period and the # of Old Styles consumed in said 24 hr period?
hey, you said to ask a question... ;) hahaha
Close, Kurt. Not really. Received some bad news, couldn't sleep.#6: Tom King (sgusa) on May 30, 2014 [HINT]

Sorry to hear it, buddy. Hope everything's alright...#8: Tom King (sgusa) on May 30, 2014
Tom, you might wanna solve this again...I didn't solve the first time when posting a comment cuz I figured it was prob gonna be too easy. Maybe I missed something, but I'm not seeing it as LLS.
actually, I'd like to hear what infrapink or one of that ilk have to say about it..
Kurt, I used the helper function when designing puzzles. Makes it quicker and I can post a gazillion in a day. Perhaps you are missing the 2 in c4. Before it is filled in, there is a single space that can only be white. It totally solves with line logic, but when I have a minute I will solve it without the helper.#9: Tom King (sgusa) on May 31, 2014 [HINT]

whatever the 2 in c4 means to you, I'm not seeing it. too bad I can't show you what my grid looks like...but as far as ll goes, c4 has dots in r1,11-18. the 2 in c3 is placed. c5 has dots in r's 1-4, 5-8 open yet and the rest of the c filled in.#11: Tom King (sgusa) on May 31, 2014
put that into your grid and tell me how and why you can do any more in c4 by line logic alone. (you can't place a dot beside either black in r5c6 or r5c8 yet--you only know r5c8 is part of the 4 clue, but not exactly where the 1 in r5 lies)
it'd solve easily with a dot by either black in r5, and I think you might have put one there.
Think you are correct. I must've morphed it. Been looking for that elusive pixel for the last hour and couldn't find it.#12: Bill (PopPop ) on Feb 15, 2023 [HINT]

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by dbouldin.#15: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Mar 20, 2024 [HINT]
