Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by blurglecruncheon.

That's odd: The puzzle shows its Uniqueness set and its Solvability un-set. But #1 says that Andrew set the Solvability. So it looks to me like the software did something weird. I'll check the logs to see if I can figure out what it's doing.

Hm. I could spend a lot more time picking over the data to be more sure of this, but if I'm reading it correctly, Andrew, you set the Solvability and then published the puzzle, and the process of publishing *un*set the Solvability and it automatically set the Uniqueness.

I am not 100% sure of this, but I need to scoot, so I'm going to post that, because it's the best fit for the entries in the database log file.

Interesting! Well, interesting to me, anyway. I'm not sure anybody else would think so!

Just noting that puzzle #35622 is the same way. Interesting!
