Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.

edge logic on c20 can place both 5s

I was just floundering around until I figured out the edge logic. Fun solve. I would love confirmation on the "WT" though.

Gator, this looks about like what I got. I saw that C18/19 R1 were dots, but I don't know if it's critical. So I'll detail the pedantic stuff.

I just made R1C20 a dot (C19 starts with 3 otherwise,) then I saw R15C20 must be black. If it is not, then C10-12 are black, and C9 or C13 is black. But that's a contradiction, as you'd have a 4 in column 19.

But then if C6 were a dot, C8-10 are black and you have the same contradiction with R8 and R12.

Making C20R10 black gives no space for all the 2's in row 18. Similarly for C20R11. Then, edge logic.

I butchered this at first as I somehow reasoned that you couldn't place a black square at C20R19. It's always a good feeling to recover from that.

It should be W.F., of course. ^_^
