Hi loublou, Easiest way for me to see where you are is to open the player window, click on it once and then hit ALT+PRINTSCREEN, and then open an email and press CTRL+V to paste in the window image. Then send it to me: gareth@puzzlemix.com. :)

The secret to getting past the 'obvious' placements is in column 19. There's something interesting about the fifth square up from the bottom in that column...

Reached a point where there were no logical moves left - had to guess. Not a genuine puzzle.

Hi matt, I can guarantee you that you do not have to guess, or even use a single step of trial and error, to solve this puzzle. However it is rated "hard" for a reason! :)

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one! I have 5 gaps then 4 blocks then gaps to the top of column 19. I cannot see it! :-)

First time I've had to show the solution. I could not get this.

Key
A yellow/light blue highlight in the time distribution charts highlights your time, where relevant.
Rating scores out of 10.0 show the average difficulty rating chosen by users, where 1.0 is "Easy" and 10.0 is "Hard".
If a puzzle is opened more than once, including by loading from a saved position, then this is potentially a significant aid so it is listed as being completed with 'multiple sessions' for the purpose of the best time/average rating displays above.
Minor aid is defined as no more than one use of 'Check solution' when incomplete and/or no more than one use of 'Check solution' when wrong; and/or using highlighting aids (show repeated digits, show broken inequalities and show valid/invalid placements [slitherlink] only). Major aid is any and all other use of the solving aids except for 'show wrong'.
Easiest way for me to see where you are is to open the player window, click on it once and then hit ALT+PRINTSCREEN, and then open an email and press CTRL+V to paste in the window image. Then send it to me: gareth@puzzlemix.com. :)
