edge logic on the 2 in r1 makes r1c1 white#2: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Oct 15, 2023
no matter where the 2 in r1 goes, it will trigger the 2 in r2, which therefore can never reach c1. So r2c1 must be white
line logic to finish
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.#3: Jota (jota) on Oct 16, 2023

But I don't see a pickaxe ...
The top-right part of the picture is the pickaxe, with the one pixel in R3C5 part of the shaft, and the other 5 pixels the head. The 3 pixels in the bottom-left corner is the rock that is about to be struck by the pickaxe.#6: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Oct 17, 2023

Joe's solution is neat! I offer this alternate:
Look at C2. If the black 1 is in R2-4 then R1C4 and R5C4 are dots. That's a contradiction. Then, line logic. (You can actually just us R2C2)
