Puzzle Description:

a modification of my school mascot. I tried it without modification, but it was unsolvable. In case you couldn't tell, our mascot is a spartan. For anyone who still doesn't get the title, "helm" is short for helmet, and is often used that way.

This took a lot of very careful work, counting and trying over again! Thanks for the puzzle- it's always good to see your name on the home page.

Can't do it. If it's solvable by logic, it's beyond my ability. It started out seeming quite easy and boring, but became harder and harder, and more and more fun. I was disappointing to hit an impasse!

I cannot see how this is possibly solvable by logic.

Such a nice image. It's too bad you could not get it to be solvable without so much guessing.

Found to require some guessing by Gator.

great, I usually try to go without any guessing in my puzzles.
sorry about that.

Really tough if you do not want to guess. But the result looks good.
