Trying to do things 100% logically...#10: Bill (PopPop ) on Aug 6, 2023 [HINT]
Edge logic on the 8's. I had to place the 4 in the 1-4-1-1 in row 11, then the 3 in row 3. The 5 in column 13 was next--if it were in rows 3-5 then we'd have a 3 in column 14. Then a lot gets filled in, but we're still stuck.
I didn't know what to do after that. A lot of guesswork. I tried picking off corner dots with the 2's and eventually the image turned up. Can anyone do better?
I suppose we could just guess that the 2-2's formed an octagon with the 8's on the edges. I think the patterns are recognizable.
I got stuck trying to solve logically. After reading #9 I didn’t keep trying. Instead, after initial LL & EL, I “assumed” staircase logic. I don’t think that’s a proven logic and therefore counts as a guess. The rest solved with simple LL.
