Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by gator.

EL completely places the bottom row. LL.

EL completely places the 6 clue in R42. LL.

EL on C16 makes R1-9C16 dots. LL.

EL on C17 makes R1-3C17 dots. LL.

When looking at possible ways to fill in the 5 clue in C16, notice how C17 is affected. In every case, R11-13C17 will be dots. LL to finish.

Very fun puzzle!

Agreed on very fun!
I did Gator's first two moves and this:

- black in C30R4 can't be part of the 8 clue because of IEL, dotting C29R4.

LL from there

That might be harder to see than gator's moves, not sure, but fun to see different strategies :)

I'm glad it was fun- I remade it several times worried it would be too painful with some of the edge logic!

Excellent puzzle. Not predictable, fairly difficult. Fun solve. Thank you
