Fun

Challenging.

Well, I'm stuck. I have 36 blacks and 17 dots and can't find the next line logic clue and don't see a place to use edge logic. So, BlackCat, Adam, or Gator, how about a hint?

Look closely at row 12 and think about how that row could be filled in.

that was a fun one! I got stuck the same part as #3 but the hint in #4 definitely helps.

I had to look at the hints to finish this one, too - I got stuck at exactly the same part and the hint was perfect. Once past that hurdle, the rest completed very nicely!

Ah, that was fun! Thanks for the hint, Gator. Very clever title.

Thanks all.

good puzzle and good breakfast

Thanks!

A little info. One of the Kellogg plants is in London, Ontario. Has been there for generations. It was recently announced that the plant will be closed. A lot of employees who have been there for a long time will be rendered jobless. Meanwhile, another plant is being expanded in another city, and it seems they can pay less to these employees because they are not in a union. Corporate greed continues in today's economy.

Very sad. I didn't know there were Kellogg plants outside of Battle Creek, MI, but it stands to reason. It's a very popular brand of cereal.

(I will keep mum on my opinion of modern-day unions)

There still are. There's one in Belleville that they are expanding (which is NOT under a union, go figure), and they're also looking to expand an overseas location with the saved money. I think they're planning to move all production overseas eventually. Just a guess.
