Found to be logically solvable by Gator.#3: Gator (Gator) on Apr 5, 2010 [HINT]
I solved this one completely with edge logic (well, A LOT of edge logic).#4: Ed Donahue (edzoid) on Apr 5, 2010 [SPOILER]

Yeah once you figure out where it starts it's pretty cakey.#6: bugaboo (bugaboo) on Apr 5, 2010 [HINT]
you can rule out that the 3s in the top and bottom rows can go anywhere in the middle (they all alternate 1-2-1-2 etc)#7: Teresa K (fasstar) on Apr 6, 2010 [HINT]
you are left with either the extreme right or the extreme left edges as options
edge logic in one place (trying the top 3 on the left) rules that out, and then it solves "pretty cakey"
That was fun. I looked at the clues for awhile, sorted out some edge logic in my head, followed the pattern visually, then "saw" what it would look like.#8: brett kildahl (bkildahl) on Jun 12, 2013
Good illustration of edge logic!#9: Andrew Schultz (blurglecruncheon) on Dec 23, 2023 [HINT]
I enjoy these extreme edge logic puzzles where everything falls out after finding where to start.
I tried to poke around on the left edge at first--then I saw what bugaboo saw.
