Use edge logic on all the rows and columns with "8" clues.#4: Carol Brand (KarylAnn) on Oct 30, 2017
Sorry Tom, that's not the right answer. Robert seems to be on the right track.#5: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Oct 30, 2017

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by gator.#8: Gator (gator) on Nov 1, 2017 [HINT]
Simple EL on the 8s. LL.#9: Teresa K (fasstar) on Nov 10, 2017
Look at how the green 4 clue in R12 affects the two 2 clues in R10. If the 4 clue goes in C4-7, then there will be no way to place the two 2s. Same thing happens for C8-11. So R12C4 and R12C11 cannot be green. LL. Smile logic to finish up the green. LL.
Looking at C16-17: if you place a 2 clue in R2, R3, R4, R11, R12, or R13, then R7-8C16-17 will be dots and this will make C13 invalid. So all of those places in C16-17 on R2-4 and R11-13 are dots. LL to finish.
Good one, Carol. The solve was great fun, as well as the rebus. :-)
