Makes since now. Seen clips of people doing this, but have never seen it in person, I guess you would have to become one with the goat.#2: Jota (jota) on Oct 28, 2020
That seems so cool! I'm willing to try button goats available.#3: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Oct 28, 2020

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by valerie.#9: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Aug 3, 2022 [HINT]
How I solved it:
Line logic until that ran out.
Then edge logic on row 29, including putting dots in the squares in the middle where you couldn't place a 2 going to either the left or the right of that square without causing a 2 in the row above it.
Next, in row 28, the 1s have to be above row 29's 2s, wherever those will be, so anyplace where there's a dot in row 29 also gets a dot in row 28.
Then more line logic.
Next I tried placing the 11 in column 6 in the top half of the puzzle and pretty quickly got a contradiction, so it goes in the bottom.
Then line logic to finish.
Cute picture!
