Maybe I'm just getting used to your type of edge logic, but I didn't get stuck once! Hooray!
#2: Gator (Gator) on Sep 23, 2009 [HINT]
This one only required using edge logic twice and they were not too hard to find.

Me neither! Woohoo!

Found to be logically solvable by Gator.

Nice image for such a small grid!

I don't know if these were the 2 areas you were referring to, but I used it on the 8 in the bottom row, initially, and then I placed 1 dot in C15 using edge logic, and then it solved nicely.

Simple and clear. Nice puzzle.

Great fun! Thanks, Gator. I had to look at it awhile before I saw the edge logic on the right. Very enjoyable to solve.

Yeah, this was great fun to solve logically. Not a total brain burner, but interesting from beginning to end. The fireball's tail didn't require any particularly fancy tricks, but you always had to be looking around for the next pixel. It never got trivial.

fun solve.
#11: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Sep 24, 2009 [HINT]
I re-solved this one. I placed most of the 8 with edge logic, and then used edge logic on an internal edge (the second 3 in R14, instead of the 2 in C15) and it gave me the same result.

Fun!
