Puzzle Description:

Founders Day PBN

Pardon my negatively, but a block text puzzle is hardly the sort of thing to celebrate a milestone on this site.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by gator.

Towards the end, smile logic to finish the "U".

The simplest way for me to handle the next part was to look at R10. There are 3 possible ways to fill in the two 1 clues. Two of those ways close either R8 or R12 to be invalid. So only R10C10 and R10C13 do not cause a contradiction.

The rest is solved with line logic.

I think it is a lovely sentiment Dan. So nice of you to remember.

Ditto Kim
