After LL/CL leaves only two black and some red,#6: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Mar 15, 2020
Internal edge logic on the 4 in c17:
If it were to start any lower than r19, then the crossing 3s would force a block of two in c14. Therefore the 4's range can only be [r18-22] and c17r23-25 must be white.
LL to finish
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.#7: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Mar 15, 2020 [SPOILER]
The fiery cat that eats bamboo.#8: CB Paul (cbpaul) on Mar 16, 2020 [SPOILER]
Etymologically, ailurus is Greek and means 'cat'; fulgens is Latin and means 'fiery', 'bright', 'shining', etc; and panda is derived from a Nepalese phrase that means 'eater of bamboo'.
definitely a nice image and fun solve.
And I thought I was seeing a fox!#9: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Mar 16, 2020
All of the above, indeed.
I saw a giant tick most of the way through ...#10: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Mar 17, 2020 [SPOILER]
I saw a fox, until its face started looking a little too round. :)
