peek at solution solve puzzle
quality: difficulty: solvability: moderate lookahead
Puzzle Description:
A dolphin jumping out of the water.

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.#2: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Jun 10, 2021 [HINT]
my solve after LL:#3: Jota (jota) on Jun 10, 2021
- 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!#4: besmirched tea (Besmirched Tea) on Jun 10, 2021 [SPOILER]
The water was tricky but solvable. I like it!#5: Alan Lafond (Cural) on Jun 10, 2021 [HINT]
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.#6: Donald Clysdale (don) on Jun 11, 2021
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.#7: Eric (kelalatir) on Jun 11, 2021 [HINT]
Very nice puzzle! I like the picture!#8: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Jun 11, 2021
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.#9: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Jun 11, 2021 [HINT]
I got stuck but then was able to use David's instructions to get going again, twice.#10: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jun 12, 2021 [HINT]
All it takes is the Internal Edge Logic on the 8 in r3. The rest solves with line logic.#11: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Jun 15, 2021 [HINT]
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 :)#12: Michael Eddy (meddy) on Jun 16, 2021 [HINT]
I too just used EL to get the 8 in R3. Fun puzzle.#13: Al LaPointe (kancamagus) on Jun 17, 2021
My first solve in months - nice tricky one!#14: Gator (gator) on Jun 23, 2021
Great solve!#15: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Jun 26, 2021
Nice image.
