R1: EL marks C19-20 white. Wherever else the 2 goes, R2C1 is white.
C19: EL marks R26-30 white. LL.
C18: EL marks R27-30 white.
C17: EL marks R29-30 white.
R28: EL marks C6-12 white. LL.
C19: EL marks R8-10 and R24-25 white. LL.
R29: If the 2 uses C5, R27 will be invalid, so R29C5 is white. Minimal LL.
C19: If the 6 is placed in R2-7, R16-20 C17 would all need to be black, making C17 invalid.
LL to finish.
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by wombatilim.
