I loved pinball as a kid, teenager and young adult. Wish I had the money to keep playing them. Oh well.#2: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Mar 20, 2018
Oh, how helpless I would feel when I couldn't stop the ball from disappearing down the hole right in front of me.#3: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Mar 20, 2018
I thought this was one of those handheld water games. https://www.amazon.com/Handheld-Water-Game-Rings-Colors/dp/B00BQJUDL0#4: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Mar 20, 2018
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.#5: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Mar 20, 2018 [HINT]
After careful color logic, there are two unknown patches at the top and three in the upper center.#6: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Mar 20, 2018 [SPOILER]
For the top, look at c17 (or c21). There must be a green 2 in the top section. No matter where that 2 goes, it will trigger a 5 in a crossing row. That five will trigger all three 4s in c18-20. So the rectangle [r2c18-r5c20] will all be green.
ll leaves only two patches of unknown.
Look at the blue 3 in r13.
There is only one place it can go without causing a conflict in r12 (using color logic)
cl
The same for the green 3 in r13.
cl to finish
Such a supple wrist!#7: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Mar 22, 2018
