I'm stuck. About 75-80% done and still banging my head against it trying for a breakthrough. For awhile I was certain it was going to be Big Bird, but now I'm reasonably sure it's Daria from Beavis and Butthead.#2: Michael Eddy (meddy) on Jun 28, 2022
Finished it, but I don't feel satisfied. There's a point where deep lookahead just feels like trial and error to me, which isn't really different from guessing in my book. I wonder if anyone will be able to solve this through more conventional means.#3: Karen Scholl (karenttrouble) on Jun 29, 2022 [HINT]

I've filled a lot with a lot of IEL and 2way, including some look ahead and further 2way on the 2way, and I feel stuck.#8: AM (adrian) on Sep 30, 2023
I've got C5 filled through R26, and I don't feel like I can IEL the 2 in C5.
I've done a bunch of 2 way on the 1s in R34.
Not being able to rule out C5R49 yet is holding me back.
Soleved using logic only. No guessing required.
I think using some deeper lookahead is no different from "conventional" logic, the latter being lookahead with fewer steps.
