Excellent puzzle. Thanks#7: Kathy Roth (clyde) on Jul 1, 2020
Great image, and fun and unique to solve. I kept thinking the green bits were going to be impossible, but it flowed along.#8: Wombat (wombatilim) on Sep 1, 2022 [HINT]
After line & color logic:#9: Michael Eddy (meddy) on Mar 21, 2023 [HINT]
Regardless of whether the remaining green 3 in C21 goes up or down, R16-17 C22 are green. The rest solves with LL.
I did things in a different order and probably less efficiently than Wombat. But just in case anyone gets stuck where I did:#10: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Mar 21, 2023
- LL/CL to 58% done (can't remember if I also used any EL/IEL)
- This step was basically the key to the whole puzzle for me: Using IEL, r22c21 cannot be red, so c21, r22-26 must be red
- LL/CL to 81% done
- IEL finds that r17c21 cannot be green, must be a dot
- LL/CL to 90% done
- IEL finds that r23c13 cannot be green, must be a dot
- EL finds r40c10-12cs must be dots
- LL/CL to finish
Some of the EL/IEL might not have been necessary.
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by wombatilim.#11: Vaggelis Kamaris (evag7651) on Jan 22, 2024
hard but logically solvable. One of the best.
