Found to have multiple solutions by kibitzar.

Derby, please read the article "Advice on Creating Puzzles" on the Create Puzzles page.

Found to require lots of guessing by gator.

Hi, my goal was to create a difficult puzzle, which is the type I enjoy solving. I did ask the computer whether it had multiple solutions, but only got the message that it timed out but may not be solveable. I edited it two or three times before publishing making it easier to solve. I tried solving it myself and was able to do so. I know it is difficult but still not sure if there are multiple solutions.

I am sorry if it is too frustrating, it would like to see more difficult puzzles on the website.

Derby, there is at least one obvious multiple solution for the rightmost blue 3s in rows 7 and 8. Please consider that if there is one simple example that you didn't find and resolve, there could be other locations that you've missed when you're trying to solve your own puzzles because you already know what you're aiming for. In places I needed picture logic, pattern logic, and what I call experience logic - none of them are actually logic and all of which are educated guessing - to solve your puzzle. The image itself is lovely, though.
