Tough to start, but then it's fast.

Wheeeee!
#4: Yonah Kondor (yokon965) on Mar 9, 2021 [HINT]
Started by trial&error on the bottom row of 5, then the rest fell into place just fine with line logic.
Good illustration!

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by dbouldin.
#6: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Mar 9, 2021 [HINT]
here's hw i did it (with LL between):

- regular EL dots C1-7R1
- more advanced EL: whether the 8 in R1 extends left into C12 or right into C18 the black in C13R2 is part of a two clue
- EL places the 5 in R15

LL to end

Tricky to start, but fun to finish.
#9: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Mar 13, 2021
that's what shhhh-nevermind
#10: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Mar 13, 2021 [HINT]
David -- Hm. I used edge logic on the top row, but if I remember right it was regular line logic on the 5 in the bottom row. (I tried edge logic there first, got into trouble, backed it out, and then realized that I didn't need it.) For whatever that's worth.

EL in R1 makes R1C1-11 dots. The rest is line logic.

Brian - you always have the funniest puzzles. :)
