I think you're right, but, if you can get one square (column 10 from the left, row 19 from the bottom) filled in, I think the rest fall into place.

Ditto #1.

Simple solving fills the bottom 20 rows until a block 2 rows x 3 columns is left to be solved: (the middle two are black, the outer four unsolved)

_c__ 09 | 10 | 11
r11 ___ | _#_ | ___ (2)
r12 ___ | _#_ | ___ (2)
____ (1) | (x) | (2)

If the 1 in column 9 is in row 11, then the 2 in r12 must go in c11. However, it is then cut off by the blank in r11c11, thus r11c9 must be white. From there it solves nicely.

Very good! Thanks for explaining the logic.

Found to be logically solvable by Gator.

Ditto #7. I LOVE how we can all see, step by step (with a visible clear image) of how things work in solving this logically. I wish we could all post links like this.

Thank you.

All it takes is Paintshop Pro and several hours of potential puzzle-making time. :(

Actually, it's fun in its own way. It makes you think clearly about your methods.

(Oh, and I have to add to Joe: we Joes have to stick together!)

I don't have "several hours of potential puzzle-making time,"

LOL

(snicker snicker)

Joe, thanks for the assistance. I met you at the "impasse" and you helped me get over that spot. Before I checked the comments, I had to guess, but your notes show the logical solve nicely.

Oh, and nice puzzle, Joe (the other one). :-)
