EL on the 8's on each edge makes it solvable

Found to require some guessing by infrapinklizzard.

Color and line logic gets all but the black on the right side.
Edge logic on the 8 in c20 makes r15-18 white
LL
Then it takes some deep lookahead to prove the 4 in r6 goes left rather than right, but all-in-all it doesn't matter since there are two solutions anyway.

ssss, if you add a pixel at either c16r19 or c19r16 (or both) it should make it a unique solution.

Huh, lucky I guess. I sussed it out right away.

I'm not saying it isn't easy to figure out, just that you can't do it with logic.
