Found to be logically solvable by Gator.#2: Gator (Gator) on Oct 12, 2009 [HINT]
This one requires you to use edge logic twice.#3: Gator (Gator) on Oct 12, 2009 [SPOILER]

Fun to solve, excellent image. I used a hodge-podge of techniques on this one, including a couple instances of two-way logic.#5: Gator (Gator) on Oct 14, 2009 [HINT]
Thanks.#6: Jane Doe (telly) on Oct 14, 2009
I used edge logic on the 6 clue in column 1 after solving a lot of the top. Towards the end, I used edge logic on the 4 clue in row 20.
cute and fun to solve. :)#7: Teresa K (fasstar) on Oct 26, 2009 [HINT]
Fun puzzle. I got stuck and tried to figure out where the edge logic was toward the end. I had to check the hints. Thanks, Gator, #5 helped me finish up.#8: Gator (Gator) on Oct 26, 2009
Thanks.#9: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Apr 7, 2010
the 5 logic on bottom was sorta guessy, process of elimination. when i have ones like that, i get a ?#10: Gator (Gator) on Apr 7, 2010 [HINT]
I went back and solved this to see what you meant. This is how I did it. About 1/3 through the puzzle, I used edge logic on column 1 to make R8C1-R11C1, R19C1, and R20C1 dots. A lot more line logic and then we are about 80% done. I then used edge logic on the 4 clue in row 20 to make R19C12 a dot. It solves with normal line logic from there.#11: bugaboo (bugaboo) on Nov 3, 2010
I didn't see an elimination process, just line and edge logic.
great solve#12: Gator (Gator) on Nov 4, 2010
Thanks.#13: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Apr 6, 2011 [HINT]
holy cow gator! i did almost the exact same solving sequence . the only difference is that when i got to that 80% done and no more line logic point i used edge on the 4 at the bottom to dot R20C12, then line logic from there. kind of funny how similar the solves were.#14: Gator (Gator) on Apr 6, 2011
Thanks David.#15: Marie-Louise Ambrey (marz71) on Nov 19, 2011
Very tricky and very fun, thanks Gator :)#16: Gator (gator) on Nov 20, 2011
Thanks!#17: Kathy Roth (clyde) on Aug 2, 2014
Very difficult for such a small puzzle. Fun- thanks!#18: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on May 12, 2022
A classic Gator puzzle - fairly tough solve with a lot of image in a compact size.
Keep 'em coming!
