#1: whatever (nuts) on Jun 5, 2014 [HINT]

you can el the 6 at the bottom, ofc....but you don't need it

after line logic runs out, take a look at the remaining 1 in c3...it has to be in either r2 or r3, making either c1r2 or c1r3 a black(but not both). since it can't be both and there is a "2" clue in c1, the black in c1 must be in r3 going down into r4. line logic finishes.

happy early birthday david :)

Nuts, I used deep edge logic on the 2 in c1 (vs c3) which rules out r2. Then LL to finish.

It's the same logic, but from the other side.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.

I forget who this "whatever" character was. Certainly someone who was using a new userid. Guesses are kadou and monkeyboy.

Mr nuts was a pseudonym of Kurt, IIRC.
