Delightfully difficult, and a lovely picture.

Very nicely done - even if the final image does creep me out a little!

Enjoyed this puzzle...but...no adult rating for the stinger? [slap blushing face] lol

Also...I'm not 100% sure, but I think I had to resort to edge logic to solve this one (only the last column...then I could get buzzy and finish it)

LOL!!!, love your comment ozymoe :)

Great puzzle!

I don't remember how I solved this puzzle. If you haven't seen it, there is a link to a page of general advice on solving hard puzzles at the top of the FAQ.

this one was very challenging! i had to print it out and do it on paper. sometimes that helps me.

I agree with 5 - a little edge logic went a long way on the furtherest right column. Sad truth - I had already recongnized what I was solving for the first time through but screwed something up so badly in the top half that I had to clear and start over.

Line logic gives you some very good clues how to solve this but a lot of reasoning needs to be done to complete it.

Nicely drawn though I agree with other previous comments that it is a bit creepy, if not menacing. I enjoyed this one.

The only hard part I saw was seeing that there had to be dots at R10C12 and R13C12 as R11C12-R12C12 had to be one of the 2 clues in column 12. Other than that, it solved with just counting.

Nice puzzle.

I love this puzzle. I'm pretty new to this but have a lot of fun here when I have time. Great thinking skills. I solved this puzzle without edge logic. I started over once and had to back up a couple of times. Just keep looking at every row and column and something will hit you.
