I don't think this is solvable without using symmetry. At least I couldn't find a way. But I have no qualms with symmetry.#2: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Apr 19, 2022
Does anyone know the exact derivation of this symbol?#3: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Apr 19, 2022
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by valerie.#4: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Apr 19, 2022 [HINT]
I solved it with lots of edge logic, no symmetry needed.#5: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Apr 19, 2022 [SPOILER]

Wow, thanks Valerie! That makes sense.#7: Jota (jota) on Apr 19, 2022
I'm intrigued by symbols, especially those warning of danger. I remember reading years ago about scientists and graphic designers trying to come up with a symbol to warn generations eons into the future about radioactive waste storage bunkers, where the waste had half-lives of millions or maybe billions of years.
They were concerned about nuclear or other total annihilation of life on Earth, and realized that eventually life would re-emerge and evolve, and still be able to recognize a "DANGER" sign.
I wonder whatever happened to that quest.
Anybody know?

EL on either 7 clue in C1 or C32. LL.
EL on the 5 clues in C30 makes R30C3-6,27-30 dots.
EL on the 10 clues in C29 makes R29C3-5,128-30 dots. LL to finish.
Nice puzzle!
