Puzzle Description:

Not great art, but a fun and challenging solve.

#1: Tom King (sgusa) on Jan 2, 2013 [HINT]

The 5 r9 can only go in one spot...

3 men and a baby?

Rub a dub dub

I found the same thing as Tom:
When line logic ran out I used internal edge logic on the 5 in r9 ->
if it were placed in c16-20, it would
- have to be part of the 2 in c16, which would then extend down into r10
- and also have to be part of the 2 in c20, which would then extend down into r10.

That would make two extra blocks of one in r10, and there's only room for one more, so r9c16-20 is dotted.
Then line logic to finish.

Is this supposed to be a movie? If so, then Three Men in a Boat (1956). Three Men in a Tub doesn't seem to be one.

I am still attempting to find the correct representation of this movie, and I am not there, yet. The last two I published aren't what I want, but I think they are fun puzzles with some challenge.

Thanks, Al & Joe. I really don't expect guesses yet until I form a better clue. I'll keep publishing them under Aldege's Challenge, and they might add up enough to guess the movie.

I did kinda the same thing on the 5 in r9, but used the 4's in c's1 and 3 instead... both 4's could not extend either up or down because of only a 1 left to find in r8 and only one 4 could make it's way into r's 11 or 12. either way which 4 went where, 5 must be in the early c's...

btw, nice solve, Tom!

#10: Tom King (sgusa) on Jan 3, 2013
Nope, still working on it. Thanks everyone.

The Three Stooges Go Sailing?

I know this one! I know this one! I can remember everything but the title. Dang. I have to go to work right this minute. There is gambling involved, yes?

This is the scene where they travel down the chocolate river by boat...

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.
#15: Bruce Yanoshek (yanogator) on Jan 30, 2018
I solved it completely by line logic. It was one square at a time, but it worked.
#16: John Macdonald (perlwolf) on Jan 30, 2018
I see a shooting gallery with clown targets.
#17: annalivia (annalivia) on Jan 30, 2018
Willy Wonka
#18: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jan 30, 2018
Definitely not solvable with only line logic.
#19: Ron Jacobson (shmily999) on Feb 13, 2018
Willy Wonka, the original, of course. ;-)
