Found to be logically solvable by Gator.
#2: Gator (Gator) on Sep 3, 2009 [HINT]
Lots of cool edge logic in this one. Great puzzle!
#3: Teresa K (fasstar) on Sep 3, 2009
Very tricky, challenging, fun to solve. And cute!
#4: Jota (jota) on Sep 3, 2009
Thanks for this entry! Loved it! Saw it even w/o the explanation!
#5: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Sep 3, 2009
Hints, anyone? I got stuck. I did all kinds of edge logic and got a few dots and a few black squares, but still got stuck.
#6: Katydid (kmeifert) on Sep 3, 2009 [HINT]
Try edge logic on the double fives in the top row, and on the nine in the bottom and go from there.
#7: Robyn Broyles (ginkgo100) on Sep 3, 2009 [HINT]
Adam, I tested it twice, and both times I needed to use edge logic with the 3 on the left too.
#8: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Sep 3, 2009 [HINT]
I did that already. I got 7 out of the 9 on the bottom row, 1 each in the 5's in R1, and a couple dots in C1. I am sure there is something I am missing, but I can't find it. Is your "edge logic" 3 steps deep or something?
#9: Gator (Gator) on Sep 4, 2009 [HINT]
I would focus on rows 1 and 2 and think about how one row affects the other. The "2 2 2" clues will take up so much space, and look at all of those nice clues bigger than 1 on the top of the columns.
#10: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Sep 4, 2009
I did that. I got 3 out the first 5, and 4 out of the second one. I got the 4 in R2, and the 2 right before that filled in. I have 1 black out the both the 1st and 2nd 2's in R2. Stuck again. I wish I could send a picture.
#11: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Sep 4, 2009 [HINT]
I did some "extended" edge logic and finally got it. I don't really know how.
#12: Gator (Gator) on Sep 4, 2009 [HINT]
After the 4 in C20 gets filled in, you can place another black in R18 with line logic. Do more line logic, then look at the 6 clue in R17. Use edge logic to see that R17C1 must be a dot. It finishes out with line logic from there.

that was tough! fun, challenging, and cute.
thanks for the hints...I needed them.
#14: Byrdie (byrdie) on Mar 7, 2010
This one was hugely tricky. I think I solved it logically but, to be honest, I'm not sure.
#15: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Aug 30, 2010 [HINT]
I got unstuck after doing edge logic on the 5 in r18.
#16: bugaboo (bugaboo) on Oct 26, 2010
wow
what a great solve
#17: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Sep 16, 2017
Nice. Hardy than expected.
#18: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Jan 8, 2018
Do they make them in adult sizes?
#19: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on May 4, 2020
yes, yes they do
