Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.

Wonderful image. It brings back memories of learning to drive a stick shift, in winter, on hills, in traffic. Scary times.

I had some difficulty solving this one because I cannot distinguish the blue numbers from the black ones. It took me awhile, having to hover the clues constantly, but was worth it.

I have the same problem, Teresa. Getting the puzzle as big as possible helps, as does using SVG mode (which lets you zoom in to ridiculous amounts). I recently took an old monitor and am using it sideways next to my new one as a portrait-mode monitor. Works great for tall puzzles.

But there had to be blue. Who wears green-jeans?

:-D

My niece once got green jeans and said" My favorite green blue jeans"

I had a similar experience, Teresa. Many, many years ago I learned to drive on an old Volkswagen in winter in Montreal, the city with a mountain in the middle. The heater defunct, the gas pedal attached to its hook thingy with the top part of a wire hanger, the driver's window stuck partly open, the turn signals dead. I am *very* strongly righthanded, yet to this day the only thing that I automatically do lefthanded through sense memory is to control my steering wheel, because of having needed my right hand to shift the stick on that Volkswagen.

I always said that to learn to drive an automatic is to learn to drive in traffic, but learning on a stick shift is to navigate traffic while simultaneously learning to operate the machinery.
