I have been able to confirm that this has only one solution, but I haven't yet been able to get to the solution by logic alone. There's a big rectangle in columns 23 through 32 and rows 16 through 30 within which I can't get very much. Outside of that I can get everything.#2: Susan Spitz (punchy sue) on Apr 17, 2006 [HINT]

I went back to it and I agree. It can be solved by logic alone. Your hint helped.#4: Mark Conger (aruba) on Apr 25, 2006
An excellent puzzle. Thanks.
A great puzzle! It took me a couple of tries, because I had the checker turned off. I believe you when you say it took a long time to design - all those fiddly bits! Very impressive.#5: Bobbie Hall (koalaobo) on Jul 23, 2006
Excellent puzzle with challenging bits all the way through.#6: Gitte Olesen (granny40) on Oct 27, 2007
When are you going to design another puzzle?
Nice :o)#7: Arduinna (arduinna) on Nov 6, 2007 [HINT] [SPOILER]

Great Puzzle. Tried it twice#9: Zuzana (Mori.1) on Aug 21, 2008
Really challenging, I have been able to solve it using logic alone, but it took me nearly an hour. Nice one!#10: Beth (Shasta) on Nov 12, 2008
Very nice-took a while but never totally frustrating-just the way I like them. Thanks#11: Deana L (ffswife) on Mar 31, 2009
Another one I started forever ago, and ended up had to start completely over.. very nicely done. And like Mark said... lots of fiddly bits. :)#12: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Jul 8, 2009 [SPOILER]

From the title, I now have "Who-oah Black Betty (bam-a-lam)" stuck in my head.#17: BlackCat (blackcat) on Jan 26, 2013
Very tough, very rewarding puzzle. I was able to do it all by logic. Even when I realized what the image would be it took a real stubborn effort to finish it. Very fun.#18: derby (Derby) on Apr 9, 2019
Very difficult, I am glad above comments say it can be solved with logic. I couldn’t do it with logic, but was able to get with some trail and error. Excellent image.#19: Velma Warren (Shiro) on Feb 16, 2020
Lovely puzzle. I knew who it was early on, but I still had to guess once. This is one of the best I've seen on this subject.#20: Shrek4fun (Shrek4fun) on Mar 28, 2022 [SPOILER]
