Puzzle Description:

How do you squeeze your toothpaste tube?

Lol I tried squeezing it from the top down, but gave that up after a month....

The same way I squeeze a paint tube. Which is the same way I squeeze a cake decorating tube. Which is the same way I squeeze a sauce packet. Which is the same way I squeeze a toothpaste tube.

I guess what I mint to say, in total, is that there is no white way to do it.

Brian, I share a bathroom with my developmentally disabled daughter, and she squeezes from the middle. She is smart enough to learn, but cannot seem to break that habbit. I'm NOT going to have two tubes of toothpaste in the bathroom, so I just "fix" it every time I use it. Haha.

Love your comment, Aurelian.

I squeeze from the bottom up. My husband squeezes right under the cap end, so every time I tried to use it, there was no paste in the top no matter how much I squeezed. So I saved my sanity by getting my own tube of a completely different brand that he didn't care for. Problem solved.

^-^ Thanks Teresa.

To each their own, but I have not shared a tube in a long time. It is so much easier to use the brush to cut off the toothpaste than it is to pull it and let it taper. For cleanliness, therefore, I have my own tube. That way my family doesn't get my germs in their squeezes, and I don't put theirs on my brush.

After LL/CL leaves only red,

Edge logic 1 r10: if it were in c14, it would force the 3s in c12, c13, and c15 up into r7, creating a conflict. Therefore, r10c14 must be white.
LL to finish

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.

I squeeze it with one of my hands. So much more convenient than other methods I have tried.

Nice.

Terrific image ... what fun. And I very much enjoy reading all the comments.

Until I read the comments, I thought this was one of those Muppets that say "Meep!" diving diagonally downward toward the bottom right corner. Brian, I admired how you used the dots as tiny eyeballs on top of its head!

Or, in other words: Never mind!

Joanne, replying to your comment #4: The thing is, I think it's respectful for people to remember each other's preferences so that their partner doesn't have to resort to such lengths.

Me personally, I have my own toothpaste tube and I *imagine* that I'm squeezing from the bottom up, but modern toothpaste tubes just unroll anyway, so the toothpaste doesn't stay at the top the way it did when I was a kid, so, over the years, I decided it wasn't worth squeezing from the bottom anymore, so now I tend to squeeze more toward the middle. Then, over time, when the top end is mostly empty, I take a few minutes to squeeze the toothpaste out of the bottom end, then run the tube along the ridge at the edge of the bathroom counter to push the toothpaste to the top of the tube, and then repeat that from time to time until the tube is finally empty.

You wanted to hear all that. Right?
