it was a challenge because lately most of the puzzles have been thumb through puzzles for me (quick & simple) although the puzzle took some guessing I had to challenge my mind to see if there was indeed a possible solution (which I came up with a different one) I think the puzzle could be easily made into an unique solution puzzle, but I enjoyed the mental challenge anyway :) & the final picture is fantastic!#6: Marie-Louise Ambrey (marz) on May 13, 2008 [SPOILER]

its a simple puzzle - no guessing required - only took about 30 seconds and NO guessing - all logic ----- how can we change the classification after people say a puzzle requires guessing just because they don't know how to do them?#8: harris harris (torough4u) on May 29, 2008
thats why i changed it. so there was no guessing required, but its still on there and there is no guessing now#9: Nancy Snyder (naneki) on May 29, 2008
Wow..those small changes made it pretty easy to do..I like the new image better too :)#10: julius nadas (jnadas) on May 29, 2008 [HINT]
Maybe we need to have a new classification for the guessing thing, something like: "requires more than single line logic", or "requires edge logic"#11: Arduinna (arduinna) on May 30, 2008 [HINT]
This puzzle definitely can not be done if you only do one line (row or column) at a time, but it still does not require guessing, and it has a unique solution. Once you have done everything you can, doing one line at a time, all you have to do is to look at both row 10 and 11 together and you should be able to see that position 15 in row 10 can not be colored. After that you can continue to solve the puzzle one line at a time.
Agreed. The 6 in Row 10 is key. Definitely solvable!#12: Jan Wolter (jan) on May 31, 2008 [HINT] [SPOILER]
I'm not even getting an option to rate this as solvable or not at this point. There may be an error. I would create a message for Jan about it in the general topics in the forum. He won't see this unless he solves this puzzle.

Found to be logically solvable by gator.#15: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Jun 24, 2016
