need advanced logic to solve, but it's do-able....one thing in particular you need to catch to do it though

similar solve sgusa

after initial ll:
el the 7 clue in c1 to dot r1
ll
el the blotted clue in c19 to dot r20
ll to finish
no guessing

Bug, I think I tried initially to edge the 7 but couldn't, so went with the 5 (internal edge). I had r1,c1 dotted (I think it was from r1 but might have been from c1). At that point, the 7 still fit r2-8. When I determined the 5 couldn't extend into r1, it forced the 7 down. I may be wrong...
