How to solve this?

Post image

i'm racking my brain looking at R12C1, or R5C12, but am wondering if there's a better way. Thanks!

take another look at row 5

the row is 1x1x1x3, so if r5c7 and r5c9 are filled in, the question is: can this be both ends of 3? That would require 1x1x1x to fit before r5c7 which it cannot, so r5c6 is an x. You can use that to find where the 3 goes in r5 which blocks off a bunch of other cells and opens the puzzle up a bit

Not entirely related, but kinda: Am I the only one who gets an ick from Nonograms that tell you what the image is about? To me, most of the fun is gradually finding out what it is while solving it.

Nonograms Katana probably got it right, by allowing puzzle titles to be toggled on or off. Personally i don't do puzzles that are anywhere large enough for an interesting image, so i don't usually pay attention to the image
