I really like the logic here, and it's a cool image too!#2: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Jan 17, 2024 classify
Helper gets you to 54%. Red can be filled by line logic. We get to 63%.
Then we look at C19. If R2R3 is where the blue 2 is, note wherever we place the 3 blue dots in R4/5, they must extend to R6/7. So we have a 3 when we should have 2/2.
A blue dot at R16C19 puts a blue dot at R18C19, a contradiction.
From there, line logic on the blues then the greens solves things.

This is line & color solvable. Remember the helper doesn't always do well with color logic. The green and red are pretty straight forward. Once those are done the blue takes a little back and forth, but the helper can handle it when it's the only color left.#6: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Apr 12, 2025 [HINT] [SPOILER] classify
I solved it with line and color logic too, though it took quite a bit of back and forth.#7: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Apr 12, 2025 [SPOILER] classify
Any idea what it's a picture of? My best guess is that it's a corporation's logo. I tried a web search with a description of it, but didn't find anything.
