Puzzle Description:

International Body Piercing Day!

#1: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Jun 23, 2022 [SPOILER]

I've seen true-life examples of what can only be described as "brain - piercing"

I think I'll pass on celebrating that day, if it's all the same to you.

The first two thirds or so wasn't too bad, but then I got completely stuck. Deep lookahead revealed a bit more but I couldn't finish without guessing. Putting black in the bottom left and bottom right squares led to a pretty quick solve. Curious if this is logically solvable.

I could NOT get this one until I tried Michael's corner trick. Thanks for helping me solve this one. It is special because besides this other hideous "Day", it is also my birthday :). Love the series.

I couldn't solve this logically. Color and line logic finished the red and blue. Using edge logic on row 1 let me finish the green and the top 2/3 of the black. After that I tried every trick I knew, but I couldn't find any way to eliminate any more squares.

First I noted the 4 in C8 couldn't be in R20. There may've been extended logic there.

Then I needed deep logic on the 5-4 in row 18. I started with the 5 at C11-15 and moved left. C1 was also out. Then with the 5 placed I placed the 4.

Tough solve!
