Found to be solvable by line and color logic alone by valerie.#7: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Jul 21, 2022 [HINT]
When I tried it, the puzzle solved easily with line logic, so I changed the setting. It's likely that I was starting from a different corner of the puzzle.#8: JoDeen Mozena (ozymoe) on Jul 21, 2022 [SPOILER]
Also: Groan!
I haven't solved this yet, so I'll take a crack at the answering the riddle:
...because the photon "cell"dom took enough along to fill up a larger, checked bag.
...because he was only glowing for a few hours.
...oh, I know, I know...because he made a point of traveling light?
Edited to say: lol, I guess I really did get it!
