good luck....you'll need edge logic for sure. I'm not even sure if this is solvable. a guess at the left edge, and the rest is do-able for sure. but there are those better than me that may just be able to solve this logically. if so, then I missed something, and would love to hear how it's done.

Me, too.

it's very close to solvable. very very. I tweaked it a lot, but needs one lil extra tweak or 2. sorry, just got tired of trying to solve the same puzzle. I musta did it 7 or 8 times. just not patient enough....maybe I'll fix it in a few days...

if you cover the top half (above his nose) it looks like the lower half of a girl in a bikini, squatting down, proudly displaying her well endowed, Kim K/J Lo-esque lower half
haha
otherwise a great image of the pink panther

wow... I must be a lil repressed, cuz I totally see that! damn, I need to get out more....too funny!

bug, would you mind tweaking this? if it's solvable, it's too difficult for most. I've lost my patience with it(mostly cuz puzzle editor failed----ever try editing by writing down exact black and dot placement on paper and re-doing?) I like what I did, but it's not good enough. I need a fresh perspective.

how could "I" tweak "YOUR" puzzle?
anyway now that gator is back more regularly my solving/hint-giving services are no longer needed

hummm....I thought it was possible. I seem to remember Kristen tweaking one of Aldege's a lil while back. mayhaps I'm mistaken...

I made a pixel-by-pixel copy of Al's puzzle, and fiddled from there with my own puzzle.

I played clarinet for 11 years, and cello for 2 years before that. I have photographic evidence of each on FB.

Hard but solvable with logic alone. No guessing required.

My solving rules, if anybody cares:
- not interested in puzzles that require guessing, I don't see the point of solving a logical puzzle by guessing the solution.
- I do all the solving in my head, no lookahead on the puzzle itself, that feels like cheating to me, but then that depends on what everybody's goal is. To some it may be more important to see the final picture than to solve the puzzle. To me the picture is an added bonus, but not the most important part.
- if I apply faulty logic that somehow leads to a valid solution and I realize it (it happened more than once), I revert and restart from the last valid point - again, no cheating.
