WHO YOU GONNA CALL? (That's right!!)

Nice puzzle! Got a bit tricky with the black on the right middle, but a little edge logic helped. Good job. ;)

I know, Telly - sorry about that messy area. I tried to solve the puzzle myself, and found it trickier than I intended it to be; but I really didn't know how to make it any better. Glad you enjoyed it - Thanks!

Nice image! I agree with Telly. I hated using edge logic with "2's," but I really didn't have a choice when it came down to the R side.

I also had a little trouble with that area. I am not sure if I use logic or educated guessing but it wasn't too hard. Vey nice puzzle of a fun movie. Thanks.

tricky but inside the 2-3 difficulty ratio we set

what a great image and a classic familly film

thanks

had problems @ the left arm & hand but other than that it was pretty easy going :) thank you

Very well done!

I almost didn't attempt this one because of the warning that there might be guessing. Something told me to try it though, and I'm glad I did, because I didn't guess at all! Nice puzzle!

Love this puzzle, nice picture and fun to solve :)

I'm convinced that this is, in fact, logically solvable, though that one arm does require some pretty hard work.

Very handsome puzzle.

Ditto #6 - it was a bugger but it finally all came together.
#12: Diana W (aeris) on Aug 16, 2010 [SPOILER]
Very nice. I like that it got tricky for part of it.

Cool I finally got to play a WC#1, and it was a very nice image.

The right bit is tricky! The 1-1 in columns 22-23 suggest we can work there.

You get quick contradictions from R14C22 being a dot as well as if we make R16C23 black. Then R16C19/25 fell with lookahead. I don't feel this is as succinct as it could be. Maybe someone else can do better.

For a while while I was solving it I was convinced it was the "planet sticking out its tongue" from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. But it wasn't!

Nice image!!
