The whole time I'm solving, I'm thinking let's make like a flower and.......???#2: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on May 27, 2021 [SPOILER]
I tried no to make it look TOO much like a flower. :)#3: JoDeen Mozena (ozymoe) on May 27, 2021 [SPOILER]
I thought it was going to be "blossom" and "bust out!" while I was solving...LOL...nice one!#4: Alison P Deem (Indigo1) on May 28, 2021
Good one!#5: Ailsa Hebert (bazette3) on May 28, 2021
Nice puzzle. Enjoyed the solve. Thanks!#6: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on May 28, 2021 [SPOILER]
Weird - looking banana ...#7: Jota (jota) on May 28, 2021
By the way, is it true that a banana is a flower?
Loved the solve and bananas are indeed a plant and a fruit, but a flower?#8: BlackCat (BlackCat) on May 29, 2021
Really like this one. I did have to guess once. It's a great illustration.#9: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Jul 12, 2021
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by gator.#10: Gator (gator) on Jul 12, 2021 [HINT]
After the initial line/color logic, all of the red, green, and blue will be solved and some black filled in.#11: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jul 13, 2021
EL on R1 makes R1C14-15 dots. LL.
EL on R2 makes R2C1 and R2C14-15 dots. LL.
We know that either R19C10 or R20C10 will be a black. In either case, this forces R19-20C11 to be black. LL.
EL on R18 makes R18C6-8 dots. LL to finish.
Very nice solve!
thanks :)#12: Bill (PopPop) on Feb 14, 2024 [SPOILER]
Very interesting expression, given that atoms can be forced to split but will never split on their own.#13: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Feb 14, 2024 [SPOILER]
Excellent puzzle!
The nucleus may not willingly split, but they trade electrons all the time!#14: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Feb 15, 2024 [HINT]
Gator, I got stuck, so I followed your hint. Where it says, "EL on R18 makes R18C6-8 dots," I could only get edge logic to make row 18 columns 7-8 dots, not column 6. But from there line logic worked to finish the puzzle, so I am not sure that this matters!
