I love it! Placing the 6 on C2 helped some. Also the 3 on R18.

Excellent image

Super cute, but I guessed a LOT.

EL 6 c2 = r2-3, r16-17 white
That leaves four positions for the six.

Distant EL 3 r17 (vs r15) = c16 w.
EL 3 c16 = r13 w
EL 3 c15 = r17 w
EL 2 r2 = c3 w

And that's about it for not guessing.

If you guess the right position for the 6 in c2, it will now solve with LL. However, that's only a one in four proposition. And two of the other three can go for a LONG time without conflict.

Found to require some guessing by infrapinklizzard.

Some trail and error for me, but excellent image.
