With this puzzle I was experimenting with smile logic and edge logic, let me know what you think, thanks :)

Cool puzzle, Marz. When I got stuck, I noticed the 4s at the bottom, and they reminded me of a specific kind of logic that someone gave a name to, that I can't remember now. The bottom 4 rows are all 1's, and if you count the 4's in the bottom two rows, they add up to 20, so they have to alternate and there's only one way they can go.

you can use summing or alternating smile logic at the bottom
no guessing

i got it with all logic. no guessing at all. dont know someone added guessing when there wasnt any guessing at all

No guessing. The logic at the bottom required some big picture thinking though

I have been doing some of the older puzzles on the site here, lots of 'Gator' puzzles, he is just genius and a few other creaters too, and I came across one that required smile logic. In the comment section there was a link to a site that described smile logic, I never really understood it before, but now I do, I think, haha, so I thought I would try it out with this puzzle, and that is the 4's at the bottom.
I solve all my puzzles myself before publishing to make sure there is no guessing required.

Thanks all for your comments :)

No guessing required.

Nice puzzle, thanks.

Thank you Avgvstvs :)

Found to be logically solvable by gator.

Yes, alternating smile logic is what we call it here. Lots of edge logic for this one too. This was a real pleasure to solve. :)

Thank you Gator, glad you liked :)

I agree: the water is neat. Cute image. Tough puzzle. I guessed a lot in the beginning.

Wonderful puzzle...thank you for this especially, especially nice one, both solving-wise and picture-wise, Marz!
