Found to have a unique solution by infrapinklizzard.

Found to be solvable by line and color logic alone by infrapinklizzard.

This was my 210th puzzle. Published in April of 2015, shortly after Jan Wolter passed away, it was the puzzle where I surpassed the number of Jan's puzzles on the site. So I decided to make a tribute to him.

The thing that impressed me the most about Jan was his thoughtfulness. He looked at both sides of everything and made deliberate decisions. On the original puzzle, I linked to an essay on his site http://greatgreenroom.org/ but it is now down. So the best I can do is give a quote of Socrates that exemplifies Jan:

"I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think."

(I fixed GreatGreenRoom a few months ago, so the essay should be there and linkable to.)

Oh yeah, I mentioned that on the restored version of this puzzle, but forgot again when I cut and pasted my above comment. So here's a cut and paste of my realization from the new puzzle:

Thanks, everyone.

Hey, https://greatgreenroom.org/ is back up! I still can't remember which essay I linked to. One I particularly enjoyed though, is his essay on knowledge and faith: https://greatgreenroom.org/item_16.html

What a man Jan was! Thanks for making me go back to the great green room.
