Interesting#4: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Oct 27, 2020
Yes Kristen. I stink at drawing pixilated circles.#5: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Oct 27, 2020
(and maybe also at spelling "pixilated")...
sunny side up?#6: Steve (stevieb) on Oct 27, 2020
That egg doesn't look very fresh ;)#7: Jota (jota) on Oct 27, 2020
in todays world some might consider this inappropriate, not me.#8: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Oct 28, 2020
I'm happy to hear that Jota. I was a little worried that the sombrero could be interpreted as a Mexican stereotype, but then I realized that not all stereotypes are intrinsically negative. I consider it more of an identifier, with no "racism" involved.#9: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Dec 19, 2020
Looks like a key.#10: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Mar 29, 2022
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by gator.#11: Gator (gator) on Mar 29, 2022 [HINT]
Simple EL on rows 6 and 14, then EL on column 2. LL.
No matter how you fill in column 2, R10C4 is always a dot. LL.
No matter how the 2 clues in column 4 are filled in, R5-6C5 and R13-14C5 are always black. LL.
If R10C18 were black, this would force both R9C19 and R11C19 to be black. That would make C19 invalid. So R10C18 is a dot. LL to finish.
I do not believe I used more than a 2 move lookahead, so I'm marking this one as moderate.
Nice puzzle!
