This is the 4th part in my short series on puzzle design, and solution. If you are confused, I or my fellow creators will walk you through the steps of creation and solution. All you need to do is ask.

Nope, still easier than #2, which required more guessing. (See my comment in #3.)

Tom, this puzzle requires no guessing, just a very strait forward edge logic...

Line logic to start. The 3 in row (now known as "R") 1 cannot be placed in Columns (now known as "C") 4,5, 14-16 as it will create a conflict in the next column. This was edge logic, NOT guesing. Dot all those. LL (line logic which requires counting spaces to see what you can fill in). Control L (hold down the control key and hit the "L" key) will tell you which line can sometimes have an additional LL clue (but not always). The 2 in C4 cannot be in R2-3. Dot them. This is edge logic, again. It solves with line logic.

you're no longer sgusa, you're Tutor Tom!

;)

After LL
EL 3 r1 = c4-5, c14-16 white
LL
EL 2 c4 = r2-3 w
LL to finish

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.

Ah, so exactly as Tom did it.
