Need help with Fawn #42015.

[quote="berseph"]Can't seem to place the next box.

Thanks

Here's a little tip...Look at the screenshot. In the top right I placed 1 blue square, that spot can't be dark, because then the light 1 and 3 can not go in between...Now you can eliminate the spot above as well, that leaves only 2 places for the 2 dark 1's in row 1...

Good luck with the rest!! and if you need some more tips, don't hesitate to ask!!

Maarten

PS, just a little extra tip...I find it very useful to change the colors to ones that are further apart. I always choose black and blue for the colors, but any color that suits you is of course ok...

Much thanks for your help Maarten. It's amazing what one little square will do. I've got it figured out now.

Hi Guys,

Just one tiny, tiny little hint.... please!

This one is doing my head in!

Thanx

Robert

[quote="Jeltje"]Hi Robert,

Have a look at column 40. In this one you have all browns filled in, apart from the 8. And you have one single brown clue in the middle of this column, so this has to be part of the 8. This means you can fill in a lot of whites in this column.

I hope this helps!

Cheers Jelga. Sometimes you miss the obvious and then look really silly.

[quote="misra"]hi,
i am glad to be in griddlers, love to solve and love to create mini's. oh and love to read your good comments
but now, i stuck in this puzzle. :cry:
can anybody tell me if there is a mistake?
or where is the next step?

Hi Misra,

There are couple of areas that are wrong, I put a black rectangle around them. First clear those areas.

How to continue? There are 2 spots I found.

*First take a close look at row 32. You have 1 dark brown clue there (the one that's part of the brown 7 in clumn 24) that HAS TO BE one of the 2 single dark brown 1's that don't have a light one in between. That means that the dark 3 in that same row has to go to the left of that single brown one. There are only 2 places for it, but (and I know I am crossing the line now to MLS) after trying them in both places, you will find that the most right of the 2 places can't be the one. So you can fill in the dark brown 3 in that row, and some more clues as well.

*Now take a look at screenshot 2. I placed some blue markers to indicate that those spots can't be light. In the row above the one with the blue squares, there is 1 dark brown. That can go only in 2 places, and in both of those places there has to be a light brown below it. Now you can fill in some more o's (red squares) and you see that there is only 1 place for the dark brown in that same row. You can continue a while with this clue as well!!

I hope this helps, good luck

Maarten

Finally I solve this grid .
Thank you for help M@@rten :*
I'm very happy

i remember how i solved it. it was a permanetly search for a little dot to go on.
so this is one of the puzzles that needs absolut exactness. every little dot or marker can make the difference.
you have a good basis, cause i can see no errors.
but i found 3 markers not been set and one backgroundcolor square to fill in.
the backgroundcolor one:
count from top in row 18 at the right side. there is one dark clue left. eigher if you put it left or right, because the columns clue are bigger than 1 you can fill in a background square in the row above (column 34, row 17)
the missing markers:
in column 31 (count from left) you have filled in one square of the dark 5clue. but below it follows the dark 2clue, so you can put 3 x-markers below that single dot.

that two little spots brings you not much further, but there will be sure more such little spots....

[quote="bullfrosch"]and row 3:
at column 13 you have filled in a dark square. if you look at the clues, after and bevor each single dark clue are 2 light clues, so you can put 3 O-markers befor and behind that dark dot in the row....

I have to disagree with this one bullfrosch. There is also a sequence of 2 single dark 1's, so you can only put 1 o before and after the dark 1 clue that is already there.

I attached a screenshot of my own. The red markers are additional x's, o's and 1 backgroundspot I could fill in.

Now look at the blue marker. In the row it is in, there are only dark 2's, so that spot cannot be dark, if you look to column 30, you can fill in one more block of the dark 5, and you can continue with row 10, and after that column 32 (the dark 3 )

Thank you for the hints. I was able to finally get this bugger solved. Got stuck close to the end but made a couple of good guesses and got it done. Couldn't have done it without it. Once again, thanks!!

Hi Carina,

I have found a few small errors. Delete the sections in the red lines and the red square. You may have to check your X and O's as well. Good luck.


PS Your English is fine.

Hi Ivo

First of all...Finally someone who uses the exact same colors as I do when I am solving those 3-colored ones!! I have standard white/black/blue for those as well

Now for the help: Take a closer look at row 9. You can fill quite a bit of background in columns 34-37. Now you can continue again in column 34!

Hope this helps you to continue again, Good luck, Maarten
