#1: Gator (Gator) on Sep 21, 2009 [HINT]
Some edge logic needed.#2: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Sep 21, 2009
Found to be logically solvable by Gator.#3: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Sep 21, 2009 [HINT]
Straightforward edge logic didn't really help me a lot. I looked at both rows 14 and 15. The 3's in R15 couldn't go in certain spots (Cs 9 and 10 specifically) due to affect it would have on R14.#4: Gator (Gator) on Sep 21, 2009 [HINT]
Then, after solving much of the bottom, I saw the affect on C2 that the top 4 in C1 would have in certain positions.
Fun one!
Another way is to look at column 1. Notice how there are 6 rows (6-11) that are greater than 1. Working the edge logic on this column R1C1, R2C1, R8C1, and R9C1 will all be dots.#5: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Sep 21, 2009 [SPOILER]
After more line logic, use the 5 clue on row 1. In row 1, columns 3-5, 14, and 15 will be dots.
More line logic. I then used column 15. Using the same kind of logic as column 1 (notice rows 7-11), R9C15 will be a dot. The rest solves with line logic.

I started on what I thought would be an easier puzzle until I saw it was by Gator and thought, Oh crap. Very fun to solve though!#8: Gator (Gator) on Sep 22, 2009
I'm glad I can invoke such feelings of dread. :) Well, not really, but I'm glad you enjoyed it.#9: Jota (jota) on Sep 22, 2009
Totally agree with Jan.#10: Jane Doe (telly) on Sep 22, 2009
ditto #9 &5, lol. :) lol Shae.#11: Shae (shaekin) on Sep 23, 2009
It's not dread necessarily. I just know it's not easy!#12: Teresa K (fasstar) on Sep 23, 2009 [SPOILER]

Ditto #12 - I saw the butterfly early on. I had all of Adam's edge logic in #3 and most of Gator's in #4 but spent a lot of time just staring at the screen. I'll admit to coming into the comments and looking at the hints. It helped.#15: Kristen Vognild (Kristen) on Sep 14, 2011 [SPOILER]
Also, some degree of ditto to Shae in #7.

Wow, this one was a little toughy, I wouldn't have been able to complete it without the hints you gave, thanks Gator :)#18: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Nov 17, 2013
