Did you know the official rules don't have you put money in the middle to collect at "free parking"? If you don't do that, it goes by much more quickly!

But I agree, there are much more interesting games to be played.

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.
