Orange who?

Thought the whole time that I was drawing sound wave propagation, then--OOoooh those are Bananaaaaaas!! :) That's probably the first knock-knock I ever learned.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by valerie.
#4: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Feb 26, 2021 [HINT]
Line logic solves most of it, and sideways smile logic in column 27 gets it going again to the finish.

When I was a kid, I loved that joke! :)
#6: Koreen (mom24plus) on Feb 26, 2021
Wondered if someone was going to do this one. Fun!

Interesting solve.
#8: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Feb 26, 2021
Nice and green. Yum
#9: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Feb 27, 2021 [HINT]
my moderate lookahead move was...

whether C24R1 or C27R1 is green, C27R2 will be green

alternatively,

whether C24R8 or C24R9 is green, C27R2 will be green

:)

There are several ways to finish this puzzle. In addition to the above, you can:

EL 7 c27 = r9 white (or there would be no room for the lower 1 in c24)
-or-
Distant EL 4 c28 (vs c24) = r1 w (or there would be no room for the upper 1 in c24)
-or-
extended EL 2 r1 = c27-28 w (it would trigger the remaining clues in r1-2 so there would be no room for the upper 1 in c24)

(any of which has LL to finish)
