Puzzle Description:

We really need to start looking out for the bees.

#1: Dik Hz (dikhz) on May 11, 2018 [HINT]

16 different solutions. Guessing required.

after line logic runs out

extended edge logic 2 r19: if it were in c1-2, then it would create a conflict in r18(c4-5) so r19c1-2 must be white
LL

because of the 1s on either side of the 2 in c2, the 1 in c1 must be in either r9 or r10. So c1r13, r15, & r17 must be white
LL

I'm pretty sure this is as far as you can go without deep lookahead. It doesn't really matter, though, as there are four sections that can be flipped (the three tetris "z" pieces, and the top right corner blob) and one that has another solution (the middle squiggle on the left) so there are 32 solutions.

Found to require lots of guessing by infrapinklizzard.

Cute idea, but it needs a bit more fiddling to get a single solution. It looks a bit like an evil clown.

Did anyone else have "She Came In Through the Bathroom Window" in their heads, because of the title?
