Not sure if all of this is required, but this is how I did it.#7: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Jul 15, 2010
After the initial line/color logic, I used edge logic on the 2 clue in column 26 to see that R15C26-R17C26 were dots.
I then used a form of edge logic in column 9 with the 2 clue. If you try to place the 2 clue at R16C9-R17C9, then these cells would have to be part of the 5 and 4 clues respectively. The 5 and 4 clues would both have to cross column 11 which would make it invalid. So R17C9 is a dot.
The same kind of logic can be applied with the 4 clue in column 10. If the 4 clue were to extend down to row 17, this will again cause a contradiction in column 11. So the 4 clue must be up at least one more cell, making R13C10 black.
The rest solves out normally.
Great puzzle!
