His master's voice, no less. Not an easy solve but was glad I stuck with it. Nice.

No guessing. Cute puz, Sensei.

There used to be a really large model of this in front of a house in Northern Virginia. I think it came from Baltimore, and was returned there when the house was sold and the property redeveloped.

thx Joel & for info also

Bryan - "moderate look-ahead" encompasses edge logic, smile logic, two-way logic, et al. -- basically anything that isn't a one-line logic (line logic) or basic color logic.

They require a bit of "looking ahead", if only a little. Edge logic, for example requires
step 1 - placing the hypothetical clue
step 2 - extending the crossing clues
before you can see if the extended clues conflict.

Easy, but still looking ahead, so "moderate look-ahead".

If it requires more than 2-3 steps before you can tell there's a conflict, (but still is within a reasonable amount) then it becomes deep look-ahead.

There are some puzzles with a unique solution that therefore have a Logical solution, but would take so much mental bookkeeping that it would be beyond any person's capacity. Those get classified as guessing as we are people, not computers.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.

easy

Cute. Neat version.

Cute but I had to guess alot. Must have started out wrong.

This reminds me of a puzzle I made...#9502. Tom's is cuter though :)
