Actually lindo means pretty or lovely. A common word for sweet in Spanish is dulce.#9: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Nov 17, 2013

lol Kurt.. ditto #4#14: Bryan (Cyclone) on Jan 31, 2014 [HINT]
I'm calling this guessing. You can use "symmetry logic" in the middle everywhere, even on the 2,2,3; however, it fails on the arms, which are different on each side. Which is fine; after getting the middle two columns, it solves with line logic. However, requiring guessing marks the puzzle as a failure by my standards.#15: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Apr 20, 2014 [HINT]
no guessing with zero "symmetry logic" considered. the puzzle isn't a failure by my standards.
after LL (and with LL between each step):
- no matter where the 3's in R15 go, C5,6R14 are always dots
- EL dots C1-3,8R1
- EL dots C1R4
- no matter where the 2 in R4 goes, C7-8R5 are black.
