Puzzle Description Suppressed:Click below to view spoilers

Hi, maybe this isn't the best place to ask this question...but this puzzle has a "uniqueness" and "solvability" pull-down. The solvability pull-down has "logically solvable with line logic alone" which seems about right, but the solvability on this page is "line & color logic only?" which is not available in the pull down menu.

Is there a reason for the discrepancy? Also, is there an official definition for "trivially solvable" etc.? I searched the FAQ but nothing came up.

This isn't a huge question--I just thought I'd like to be able to help out with random puzzles that seem to have lost this information in the database crash if I can.

Thanks!

This puzzle losing its description was interesting to me because now there are so many things it maybe could be.

Found to have a unique solution by valerie.

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

Andrew: Answering four years later: Originally the site had only black and white puzzles. Color was a later addition. I think there are still occasional bits of wording around the site that are left from before there were color puzzles. In this case I think Jan originally phrased it as "solvable with line logic alone" and then later I updated the wording in the pulldown to say "line and color logic only." In a color puzzle, Jan coded the site to treat "line logic only" and "line and color logic only" as if they were exactly the same thing.
