This one will require some edge logic.#2: Sallie Wilbur (sarriemom) on Nov 18, 2009 [HINT]
Don't all your puzzles require edge logic, Gator? ;)#3: Levi Ross (rhodyboy888) on Nov 18, 2009 [HINT]
This was a fun one -- I had my suspicions about what it would be, but it was fun to see it "pop" as I solved the puzzle. Even though there weren't any large groups along the edges, the pairing of the 2's and 1's limited the placement enough to get a start. I definitely had to work my way around the puzzle, filling in a few black squares and a few dots at a time.
Yes, I needed edge logic to get this puzzle started. Nice job.#4: Byrdie (byrdie) on Nov 18, 2009
Nice image. Slow starter but once it gets going it goes quickly. Completely solvable with no guesses and I marked it as such.#5: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Nov 18, 2009
Found to be logically solvable by Gator.#6: Gator (Gator) on Nov 18, 2009 [HINT]
Oops. Forgot to mark it as solvable.#7: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Nov 18, 2009 [HINT]
I found this difficult to see even after solving. I thank sarriemom and rhodyboy888 for the solving tip.#8: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Nov 18, 2009
Yes, I had no idea what this was until I read the description. Then it popped out. Great solving puzzle.#9: Teresa K (fasstar) on Nov 19, 2009
Ah, now I see it! Thanks for another fun solve, Gator.#10: Jan Wolter (jan) on Nov 19, 2009
Not an instantly recognizable image, but a very interesting and unusual solve.#11: Gator (Gator) on Nov 19, 2009
Yeah, the image looked a lot better BEFORE it was solvable. Oh well...#12: Jota (jota) on Nov 19, 2009 [SPOILER]

I love little puzzles with a bit of a challenge to them. This one was great!#14: Fran (rmm) on Dec 16, 2009
Very neat fun :)#15: Matt Coulter (mcoulter) on Feb 4, 2010
Just getting around to doing this one, and it had some really fun edge logic to get it started. Another great puzzle. I had no idea what the picture was until I read the description and then it popped out at me - love it.#16: Gator (Gator) on Feb 4, 2010
Thanks Matt.#17: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Mar 23, 2010
Another tough one Gator.#18: bugaboo (bugaboo) on Nov 4, 2010
Lots of edge logic!
agree with every word of comment 15#19: Marie-Louise Ambrey (marz71) on Dec 5, 2011
Wow! Excellent puzzle, both image and solving, thank you Gator! :)#20: Gator (gator) on Dec 5, 2011
Thanks!#21: Kadou (Kadou) on Dec 20, 2011
Another Gator-rific puzzle, well done!#22: Gator (gator) on Dec 21, 2011
Thanks!#23: Tara Pibel (Tara Lynn) on Dec 30, 2013
Such an imaginative puzzle. Good image and challenging fun solve.#24: Bryan (Cyclone) on Dec 31, 2013 [HINT]
For those who stared at this for ten minutes like I did, here's a roadmap.
Notice the two columns on each side of the grid. On the extreme edges, there are 2 clues only, and inside are 1 clues.
Start with line logic and then head to the top and mark off C1 and C20 all the way to R8 where the 8,4,1 column already eliminates the 2 there on each side. There are only two clues of 1 originating from the edge; further edge logic helps fill in some squares there. Eventually the 7,8 completes and the rest is line logic.
