Creative, fun puzzle!!#4: JoDeen Mozena (ozymoe) on Jun 24, 2014 [SPOILER]
Liked the solve...I'm surprised it wasn't Orange...uh, Crush?...although, bigg mugg does bring up visions of, well, for me...beer lol!#5: valerie o..travis (bigblue) on Jun 25, 2014

Here in Hawaii, we can redeem the cans for 5 cents. They don't want them crushed.#7: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Jun 20, 2016
Wish they did that here. We'd be rich. I guess we could take cans to a recycling place but I hear they don't pay much. Hardly worth the gas.#8: Wombat (wombatilim) on Jul 27, 2017 [HINT]
EL R1 can eliminate enough squares to get LL moving again, enough to solve everything but the red.#9: Andrew Schultz (blurglecruncheon) on Jan 17, 2024 [HINT]
To finish the red, look at the lower right corner. If any of R19-20 C19-20 are filled in, it causes a contradiction in R20. These squares are white.
LL solves the rest.
Just roughly verifying what Wombat got, filling in odd details.#10: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Jan 17, 2024
22% with helper and noting some line logic.
C1 C15-20 of R1 edge logic, helper to 57%.
C14 R12-15 and the black 3.
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by blurglecruncheon.
