Nice puzzle. I had to do some trial-and-error backtracking to get the eyes to work out, but there is definitely only one solution.#3: Marie-Louise Ambrey (marz) on Jun 19, 2007
Good puzzle. I used to get fustrated with puzzles that weren't in multiples of five but I've gotten used to them now and it even throws in a little bit of extra challenge, so keep up the good work. :)#4: Gypso (Gypso) on Jul 13, 2007 [SPOILER]

i did not have to gues. when you know the ones in the 4-1-6 rows have to be in row 17 or 18 you know the two's in 1-5-2-4 have to be in row 17-18, then the rest just flows....#8: Adam Nielson (monkey) on Aug 18, 2008
no guessing required
Still don't know what I am looking at.#9: Sylvain "WCPman" (qwerty) on Aug 19, 2008 [SPOILER]

Thanks. I STILL don't know or care. :-) I don't share your silly tastes. That's all.#11: Sylvain "WCPman" (qwerty) on Aug 20, 2008

'nuff said!!
Yep. It's all good.#13: Jan Wolter (jan) on Dec 8, 2008 [HINT]
With rea's hint in comment #7 I was able to figure out how to solve this logically. It's actually an instance of what I called "two-way" logic on the "Advanced Puzzle Solving Techiques" page.#14: Rea Aksglæde Karlsen (Rea) on Dec 9, 2008
yay I got something right :-p#15: Jota (jota) on Dec 25, 2008

Qwerty what I got from Google doesn't look at like this. Help!#17: Sylvain "WCPman" (qwerty) on Dec 25, 2008 [SPOILER]

Another variation on the logic just using edge logic: Looking at column 12, try to extend the 4 clue down to row 10. This makes you complete the left 5 clue in row 10. Notice how this will affect row 5. It makes it so that row 5 cannot have both 2 clues place now. So we know that R10C12 is not part of the 4 clue in column 12. So we can mark R6C12 as black (but we cannot make R10C12 a dot as it COULD be the 1 clue). The same logic can be applied on the right side to make R6C18 black.#19: Sylvain "WCPman" (qwerty) on Sep 11, 2011
The rest solves with line logic.
Great puzzle!
thanks Gator been a long time since I design this one not sure I was thinking so far as far as solving method back than#20: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Oct 19, 2012 [HINT] [SPOILER]

My strategy was looking at row 5. Place the 2 at the start of the first remaining four square segment and the other at the end of the other segment. On both sides, row 11 becomes illogical. You can then fill in one certain square on both sides and the rest solves. I did need edge strategy, therefore.#22: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Nov 6, 2016
No guessing and no idea what this is.
