Beautiful. Not a beginner's puzzle.

#2: Robyn Broyles (ginkgo100) on Jul 16, 2009 [HINT]

I got it with logic alone, but it was hard. I'm going to try again just to make sure it was logic and not a mistake that solved it for me!

#3: Robyn Broyles (ginkgo100) on Jul 16, 2009 [HINT]

Definitely solvable by logic alone. Here's how:

DON'T READ THIS if you don't want instructions on how to solve.

Go as far as you can with line logic. Then use edge logic on the leftmost column. You'll be left with a space of only five possible squares for the block of four, so you can confirm three of the four squares. At this point, line logic alone will take you to the finish line.

#4: Teresa K (fasstar) on Jul 16, 2009 [HINT]

That's how I solved it, Robyn. I've been trying to create a small puzzle that requires edge logic, since that is so fun to use.

Found to be logically solvable by jan.

#8: Jan Wolter (jan) on Jul 17, 2009

A lovely little puzzle. Great work.

#9: Teresa K (fasstar) on Jul 17, 2009

Thanks, Jan. My attempts at these small ones have led me to a new respect for you and Gator and others who are so good at creating these edge logic puzzles. They are more challenging than I guessed they would be.

Ditto most of the above comments. This was a Gator-ish puzzle if I have ever seen one. Nice.
