Every time I see "Python" I think "Monty". sigh.#3: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Oct 6, 2020 [SPOILER]
And this looks like a foot. Not done yet; we'll see...
ACK! Finished, and it is a Monty AND a foot! Wow. Cool.
Now I have to google around to remind myself what the connection is between Monty and foot...

It pops in, twice :)
Quite a fun solve. Did have to guess once.#5: Gator (gator) on Oct 8, 2020 [HINT]

After initial LL, EL on the bottom row makes R30C1 and R30C47-50 dots. LL.
EL on C1 makes R1-14C1, R16-19C1, and R27-29C1 dots. LL.
Imagine if the 4 clue in C1 extends up to R20. This forces R20-21C3 to be black. And that forces dots in R1-18C3. That makes column 2 invalid as there would be no place to put the 1 clue. So R20C1 is a dot. 2 more cells can be placed.
EL in C15 makes R12-15C50 and R29C50 dots.
IEL in C3 (seeing how C4 is affected) makes R1-14C3 and R16-19C3 dots. LL.
IEL in C5 (seeing how C7 is affected) makes R1-14C5 dots. LL.
IEL in C8 (seeing how C9 is affected) makes R1-14C8 dots. LL.
EL in R16 makes R16C4-7 dots. LL.
EL in R17 makes R17C4-6 dots. LL.
EL in R18 makes R18C4-5 dots. LL.
EL in R20 makes R20C2-4 dots. Lots of LL.
EL in C8 makes R16-17C8 dots. LL makes R18C8 a dot.
EL in C44 makes R16-27C44 dots. LL.
If the 3 clue in C49 is placed in R1-4, R8-10 or R12-15, then the bottom part of C49 will be all dots. This makes it so that the 6 clue cannot be placed in C50. So R1-4C49, R8-10C49, and R12-15C49 are dots. LL to finish.
That was quite the puzzle. Well done!
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by gator.#7: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Oct 9, 2020 [SPOILER]
It probably would have been a much more straightforward solve, if I hadn't put in that pinky toe break, but where's the fun in that?
