my solution is equally valid tho?

If you allow yourself to arbitrarily change tiles, then sure, your and a million more solutions are correct.

What im saying is theres no way you can 100 logic that section of the puzzle with logic alone, there's nothing stopping either of those spots from being correct

How did you reach your first solution you posted?

Well, the {3} has to have all 3 together. And since it already has 2 that means the remaining one has to be connected to those 2. So it can't be space directly above the {3}--where you have a 1.

but the 3 are still together on my version of the answer ?

Doesnt the {3} mean that 3 blues HAVE to be right next to eachother surround the {3} ? wouldnt that make either solution valid with the clues given, therefor making the puzzle illogical?

Yes, the 3 have to be touching. What I mean is, you can eliminate that space directly above the [3] becasue it can't be blue becasue then it wouldn't be touching the others.

Oh wait. And your answer can't be correct anyway because that 1 at the top would have 2 next to instaed of only 1.

But the two 1's at the top only have 1 blue touching them? That would count as a correct layout doesnt it?

yeah, i realized that after I wrote it. disregard

Ok. I played that level to see what happens. When you get rid of that space directly above the [3] it shows a 0. So that means you can get rid of those two up there and the final 3 must be the one below.

It's logical because it gives you just enough clues as you move through the puzzle. It doesn't give them all at once. So from a screenshot, yeah yours could work. But in the puzzle they want you to get rid of that space above the {3} to reveal a 0 and go from there.

Oh ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, i just figured it out then too, trying to map it out in photoshop to prove my point, the 2 top ones have to be grey 100%, so they're safe to click, allowing you to know the layout of the lower ones.

Don't you just love this game! It twists your brain in knots sometimes.
