great al :)#2: Tom King (sgusa) on Sep 5, 2012 [HINT]
I can't solve it without guessing... I have not rated it.#3: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Sep 5, 2012 [SPOILER]

Aldege, I thought you always did LLS puzzles? This isn't. If someone comes forward with a moderate lookahead, I'll follow their logic and agree.#5: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Sep 6, 2012
Thx Travis,so were you able to solve it?,if so can you explain how?#6: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Sep 6, 2012
I'm sorry Brian and Tom,i just couldn't get this one solvable by logic alone. I published it,hoping that someone would be able to solve it. I thought of using blots,but didn't know if that would be accepted for the contest.:)
Aldege: blots are always accepted unless stated otherwise.#7: valerie o..travis (bigblue) on Sep 6, 2012
yes aldege i solved it but i would have to solve it again to see exactly how...i usually don't pay attention to how i solve, sometimes if i get stuck. i take a break and come back to it like ten minutes later and it's like how could i have not seen that next move :)#8: Jota (jota) on Sep 6, 2012 [HINT]
This is how I did it, of course we'll need to wait for the experts but ...#9: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Sep 6, 2012
the second 2 R2 and the 4 C15 gave me a few dots. EL on the 4 R1 placed three of them. Then the 4 R5 took me a bit further. Then the 2 C12 and line logic after that.
Thanks Al!
Thx Travis and Jota.:)#10: Joel Lynn (furface1) on Sep 6, 2012
I guessed after awhile, but I like the image...#11: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Sep 6, 2012
(btw, Jota's comment #9 needs to be marked as a hint)
Hey Joel Lynn, unless Jota and Aldege are the same person, (which wouldn't surprise me) then I think you meant "comment #8". :-)#12: Tom King (sgusa) on Sep 6, 2012
Jota: I revisited it and the only thing I agree with is placing 3 out of 4 on the 4 in R1. I don't see anything logical about of the rest of your placements. And, I already had solved that.#13: Jota (jota) on Sep 7, 2012 [HINT]
Tom: if you try to place the 4 C15 at R3456, the 2C3 you'll find it's impossible. That gives you 3 dots. Continue with the 2nd step, which you did and then try EL on the 4C15 (might have to look ahead a little).#14: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Sep 7, 2012 [HINT]
I'm stuck. Jota, I got to your edge logic on the 4 in c15 and dotted 3 dots, but after that I find no edge logic on either the 4 in c15 nor the 4 in r5. (I looked in case you misspoke.)#15: Jota (jota) on Sep 7, 2012
Sorry, Aldege, I think this is in guessing territory.
Me bad?#16: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Sep 8, 2012
Sorry gang.:)#17: Joel Lynn (furface1) on Sep 8, 2012
Oh, well, Adam, the perils of scrolling...#18: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Jun 1, 2017
Found to require lots of guessing by gator.#19: Gator (gator) on Jun 1, 2017 [HINT]
Agreed it is not solvable with logic.
