Looks good. The automation indicated 'heavy guessing required' so after I did what LL I could, I didn't feel bad about taking pot shots at the bottom row. Once I had that set, the rest was all LL and all turned out well.

my solve after LL:

- EL: the 8 in R3 can't go in C1-8 or it violates R4
- EL: if the black in C9R15 is the third 1 clue, it violates R11

LL to finish

fun solve!

Fun!

I didn't run across anywhere that I needed to guess. I did it with just logic. The puzzle also didn't state heavy guessing required when I was solving it, so maybe it got altered to remove the guessing? The logic at the bottom got a bit tricky, but I managed it. David's logic for the C9R15 was the same logic I used to get through the bottom part.

A bit tricky, but fun. Checking the comments afterwards, I realized I used logic similar to David's and Alan's. Thanks for a nice puzzle.

Very nice puzzle! I like the picture!

I was able to solve this puzzle with moderate look-ahead, using line logic and edge logic.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by valerie.

I got stuck but then was able to use David's instructions to get going again, twice.

All it takes is the Internal Edge Logic on the 8 in r3. The rest solves with line logic.

So glad you caught that Joe! I had fun resolving it to see. The line logic move I missed (I think) was that the black in C12R15 has to be a 2 clue no matter what. Thanks for the heads up and the correction :)

I too just used EL to get the 8 in R3. Fun puzzle.

My first solve in months - nice tricky one!

Great solve!

Nice image.
