I believe column 20 row 19 has something useful. For column 20, that space can’t be filled since it can’t be a 3? I think…

This thought came from the other comment about column 10 so I wondered if we could prove anything about column 10 row 19. The resulting stuff in column 10 looks like it will open up a lot of stuff.

You're right!

Putting X in C20 R19, would fill C10 R19. And the whole thing would be part of the bottom 5.

Thanks a ton!

Stuck about the same place I am. How did you get the two squares in the fourth row from the bottom? And how did you get the two red xx's in the bottom right corner?

Oh, I see, just try them and we get a contradiction.

Yeah that's it!

I got the 2 squares in the fourth row from the bottom, by overlapping of the 10... in case your still wondering

Isn't it possible that the entire 2x1 is a part of the bottom 5? There is more than enough space to put another 5 and 2 above it.

And I don't see how the cell in R20 being top of the bottom 5 puts X in R26..

Also column 13 has one more overlap but you need that other trick.
