He made it blue, because there isn't an orange, and "red would look funny."

these "things" (or whatever they are) continue to get more obscure and more bizarre the more of them i solve

toward the very end when only green is left the only way i found a logical move was this
if the green 3 in column 19 goes in the lower half of the two possible areas (below row 10) then 2 moves later either column 16 or column 17 is invalid depending on whether you make the 3s in column 16/17 go up-down or down-up

any other way gator?

This is what I did.

I tried placing the 3 clue in column 19 in rows 7-9, but this causes dots in R7C17 and R9C17 making column 17 invalid. So R9C19 is a dot. (This doesn't really help.)

I then looked at what happens if R8C16 is green. This makes it so that I have two 3 clues I have to complete in columns 16 and 17. One has to go up (to row 6) and the other has to go down (to row 10) because of the 1 clues in rows 7 and 9. This means that either R10C16 or R10C17 would be green but NOT both - one of those cells has to be a dot. However, the 2 clue in row 10 says otherwise. So R8C16 has to be a dot.

Found to be logically solvable by Gator.
