kinda tough, but fun!#2: John Breckenridge (jbrecken) on Jan 6, 2010 [HINT]
Needed a fair amount of edge logic.#3: Wombat (wombatilim) on Jan 6, 2010 [HINT]
Fairly straightforward edge logic on the top and sides.#4: Fran (rmm) on Jan 6, 2010
Comparing the large numbers in rows 24-27 with the small numbers across, you can eliminate col 1-7 for rows 25-27.
After you're stuck with line logic again, take a look at R26 again. Of the two gaps, using the one in the right will cause a contradiction in R25 regardless of placement, leaving only one option for the 6.
Rest of the puzzle works with line solving.
Is that guessing? I don't think so; while the logic is difficult and you have to look a step ahead, I don't think you have to look too far ahead for it to be insolvable.
Thanks for the hard fun :D#5: Wombat (wombatilim) on Jan 6, 2010
Also, the picture made me giggle quite a bit, so thank you for the fun challenge. :)#6: Beth (shasta) on Jan 7, 2010
Back at you! Great puzzle-thanks#7: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Jan 7, 2010
Found to be logically solvable by Gator.#8: Gator (Gator) on Jan 7, 2010
Thanks for the puzzle, Agneta. It was quite fun to solve.#9: Agneta (aggge) on Jan 7, 2010 [HINT]
Thanks everone! That's just what I wanted it to be, a bit difficult and needing lots of edge logic. :o)#10: Teresa K (fasstar) on Jan 7, 2010
You are so funny, Agneta. That was great.#11: frederik gravgaard (villahus) on Jan 7, 2010
Wombat, thank you for the hints. I never would have been able to solve it without your help.
This one took a long time to solve#12: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Jan 7, 2010 [HINT] [SPOILER]

me too babarann. yipee for us.#15: Levi Ross (rhodyboy888) on Jan 11, 2010 [HINT]
that was a fun, little puzzle.
good job
Wow. Without a doubt, the most edge logic I have ever used on a puzzle so far. I am starting to get the hang of this edge logic thanks to these kind of puzzles. Well done!#16: Tom King (sgusa) on Aug 1, 2016
Finally got around to this. Fun puzzle, fun solve.#17: Velma Warren (Shiro) on Sep 10, 2018
Totally agree. For such a silly puzzle though, I found it hard and had to guess three times.#18: Ailsa Hebert (bazette3) on Aug 6, 2021
I love a puzzle that I have to work at! Loved this one. Thanks!
