Thanks.

At first I thought it was a whale and once I'd finished I thought it was a deformed whale. tee hee

LOL Alice.

Nice puz. I had no idea what this was until the end. :D
#6: Nancy Snyder (naneki) on Jun 17, 2008
I agree with Telly..good puzzle

Nice challenge, love those tricky little puzzles, thankyou! :)

I try to make it small, yet challenging. Sometimes that is just as hard as solving the difficult puzzles.

This puzzle is still marked as "requires guessing," yet I re- solved it just now and it is totally solvable by logic. You must use edge logic on each of the side 7's, and the top and bottom rows as well, but no guessing is required.
#10: Jan Wolter (jan) on Oct 18, 2008 [HINT]
Edge logic on the four sides alone didn't get me there. I needed something else to make it. I ended up using edge logic on the placement of the 6 in the "2 6 1 2" row to mark a couple extra squares white, then the rest fell out. So I think this is logically solvable, but pretty darned hard.

Ackkk! I finally finished this. I worked on this one for the longest time. Eventually I was stopped by a dreaded red dot. When I couldn't find my mistake, I started over. With better application of edge logic (several rows deep), I was able to solve it logically. This has to be one of the most challenging puzzles I have ever solved.

I loved it!

Thank you tremendously.

I finally finished it! This was sitting in my saved box for forever cause I just couldn't figure out the next step. Then I finally did enough deep edge logic on the left side and 3 rows deep logic on the top, and used the fact that I knew there was one 2 on each side of the long stretch on the bottom. It eventually started going smoothly. Definitely one of the trickier puzzles I've finished. Good job. :)
#15: Gator (Gator) on Dec 17, 2010 [HINT]
I agree with Diana. After the initial edge/line logic, finding the edge logic again on the bottom row is a lot easier to see than the "2 6 1 2" row. Very nice edge logic puzzle.

Thanks.
#17: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Sep 23, 2011
Glad I finally stumbled across this one. Terrific fun on the solve. Thanks.
#18: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Sep 23, 2011
Thank you.

Fun solve, Adam. I started this before I understod edge logic, and as no B&W are being made, I have returned to puzzles that I have unfinished.
