#4: bugaboo (bugaboo) on Feb 5, 2013
after initial ll/cl (all the red can be placed):

el on the 3 clue in c1 (it can't go below the dot that you already have in r13)
ll
el on the 4 clue in r20 to do c12-13
ll to finish
no guessing

I didn't realize that edge logic was now considered "look ahead"
Yep Aldege, the big boy is getting it.
#13: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Feb 6, 2013
el = 2 steps.... "moderate" = 2-3 steps. not much choice in classification there, cause moderate is the next step above line/color. JoDeen got it right

They're not necessarily twerps. There are lots of people who visit this site but never create or comment, and may not even know about the forums. Besides that, they probably don't know about advanced solving techniques. All they know is that they couldn't solve the puzzle, so it must require guessing.

Well said, Kristen.
#16: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Feb 7, 2013
hummmm...ok, name-calling prob isn't necessary...but if you're not sure about the solvability, then don't rate it
#17: Tom King (sgusa) on Feb 18, 2013
EL = moderate lookahead. 3 steps = deep lookahead
#18: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on May 29, 2013
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.
#19: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on May 29, 2013
I agree with bugaboo
#20: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on May 29, 2013

#21: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on May 30, 2013
Congrats Joe
