Puzzle Description:

Fly

#1: Lenore Wilkison (fidelio) on Dec 15, 2022

I was waiting for a fly as soon as I saw the series title. This fly is particularly impressive!

Fun solve, great image.

EL/CL
2-way on the 2 in C20: If C20R17 is black, then C19R17 is black. If C20R19 is black then C19R19 is black. Either way C19R18 is white.
LL
EL on 3 in R23: R23C14-16 is white
LL to finish

The best so far! Awesome solve! Great image! You are the Brain!

Really awesome puzzle...had to work at it.....really enjoyed the solve! Thanks!

I'm so glad you are enjoying the series. This one was tricky to solve.

My solution was slightly different from Philip's so I think this reinforces that it is moderate lookahead.

I looked at the 3 in C24, which took a bit longer. It's interesting how the top and bottom bit have their own lookahead.

Around 73% the color logic ran out for me.

At 93% I found an additional step I needed to take as the hints didn't work. (It's possible I'm missing line logic.) C18R18 being black puts C24-25R17 as black and so the 1 in row 15 can't be placed. So it's a dot. Then LL.

Either way a neat intricate puzzle. I saw what the final image would be because of the theme, and I think it's the best of this latest cool series as a puzzle and image.

Hooray for waking up to a new series!

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by blurglecruncheon.

I have not done many puzzles this year (probably less than fifty) because I just haven't felt inspired. Thanks to Jota's puzzle popping up, I had a small burst of inspiration.

Wow...wow...WOW, Brian! I just love this image...so nicely done!

Thank you

You make me happy #8

Great picture Brian! Thank you.
