I know this is an old puzzle, but Adam pointed me to it... and I have to say I am completely stuck. I see it's marked "some guessing" but there's no official ruling. Anybody have any ideas how to finish?

These older puzzles of mine often required guessing. Once I saw that there was a unique solution (told to me by the computer) then I posted it. I never tried to solve them myself to see how hard they were. I didn't know anything about edge logic or anything else. I just tried to make good quality images. The last many puzzles I did are all logically solvable.

I have tinkered with the idea of going back and editing my puzzles until they are logically solvable, but because there have been so many new puzzles to solve, I don't know if I will get around to it. Plus, like Teresa said, most people hate edited puzzles that they have to re-solve. I don't know.

Anyway, it probably DOES require guessing. I am sorry. Gator and Jan haven't gotten around to many of these puzzles yet, to make the ruling official.

Found to require some guessing by Gator.

I wonder if this would be considered lookahead, nowadays. I used a lot of IEL.
