[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks - yes I did everything in the 7:58 post naturally. (And then I did solve using one guess but now I’m going back and trying to get through with logic)

It’s the row 8 and 9 in your second post I’m not seeing. [/quote]

Was your guess right after where I ended the first post or later? I will go back. What do your rows 8 & 9 look like?[/quote]

If you have the star at the bottom of the flagpole already you can x-out the rest of the bottom row. You have the stars in (row 9, column 1) and (row 8, column 4) already, I'll assume, and assume you got those without guessing.

Then there's the other shape (kind of backwards C with a jut out (the 4 stars the same shape as the original flag, but on the shape to the right - max of one of those can be  a star. So then at least one of that shape's 3 remaining stars must be a star. So x-out (row 6, column 7) and (row 8, col 7).

You also know row 7 also has a star in col 2, so exactly one of the 3 remaining stars in the shape I just mentioned above can be a star. Therefore, one of the 4 cells in rows 8 and 9 columns 8 and 9 must be a star.

Combine that with having to have a star in the original flag (I currently have two choices left for that star) and the two stars already put into rows 8 and 9 and you can x-out (row 8, col 9) and (row 9, col 9).
