Pretty... hard!#3: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Nov 25, 2021
Difficult solve because of the amount of guessing (3 times for me). I can see the heads, but the rest of the bodies are kinda ambiguous.#4: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Nov 29, 2021
Agreed, BlackCat, but I really like the look! Pretty tough solve, though ...#5: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Nov 30, 2021
I knew the resulting image would be worth the bother, but I had to guess a LOT. I suppose an argument can be made for Deep Lookahead (if the checker said there's a single solution), but ye gods, that was hard! :)#6: derby (Derby) on Jan 2, 2022
Awesome. Excellent puzzle. I did have to guess. I wish I had seen the 8/2 pattern earlier. Lovely image#7: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Mar 2, 2022
Found to require some guessing by gator.#8: Gator (gator) on Mar 2, 2022 [HINT]
There is not a good way to tackle this one logically even with deep lookahead. If someone can post a step-by-step, I will change it to deep lookahead.
