holy crap. requires NO guessing. two move look-ahead TWICE for the whole puzzle...if i remember correctly. it's only been available for an hour...just because it might take longer than that for you (does for me too!) doesn't mean you had to resort to guessing. ...*sigh* the little red question mark is a lie.

It took awhile but I finally got it. I don't think I guessed at all but made some wrong moves along the way. Nice image.

#15: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Jun 10, 2010
...it has not been revised since it was made public.
#16: Jota (jota) on Jun 11, 2010
I went thru w/o problems.
#17: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Jun 11, 2010
David: i worked on the puzzle for over 2 hours, took a break and...came back and had red dots on every column & row when i came back ....i even had to ask Jota how to find the puzzle again, cause it left my save file ...thats the story ...... then i had no problems
#18: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Jun 11, 2010
site glitch? not sure. i created it in the corner of a huge grid. once i got it solvable, i recreated it dot for dot on the correct size grid and published it. shouldn't have been edited since. that's actually why it showed that i had not solved it at first.
#19: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Jun 11, 2010
okay... thx 4 explanation David

congrats on your win, David
you deserved it
#22: Jane Doe (telly) on Jun 13, 2010
that was tough! I'm with Teresa on this one. I think I did some very deep edge logic to get this one...I didn't look at your hints, Gater, that probably would have helped me. So maybe I missed something since so many of you did it without having to go 4-5 steps ahead...

Nice image and creativity :)
#23: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Jun 14, 2010
Thanks all! I'm honored. I'll post my answers in the Forum soon.
