Or perhaps, a perfectly pleasant greeting (PPG)?
#2: Donna McFarland (Baby Jade) on Sep 22, 2020
I just called to say Hello Stevie Wonder
#3: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Sep 22, 2020
How about a much better greeting than I often overhear (MBGTIOO)?

Found to be solvable by line and color logic alone by valerie.

Most of the puzzle is solved with line logic, but it requires a little advanced logic at the end.

One way would be to look at R9 and imagine that the 2 1 clues go in C14 and C16. This forces R8-9C15 to be dots making C15 invalid. So R9C18 has to be black. LL to finish.

Nice

Hello!
#9: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Sep 23, 2020 [HINT]
Thanks Gator!

I went back and solved it again and indeed it does require advanced logic to finish it.

After LL, I used smile logic on the 3 in c14 - it must go in r6-8 or there wouldn't be room for the 1s in c15.

LL to finish.


Gator - this has odd dimensions - you mean r9 in your hint

Joe - thanks. Fixed.
