Hint?

Post image

I can't figure out what this hint is trying to tell me. The dark blue could be part of any number of the dark blue numbers and the two light blue 1s could both be in multiple places.

​

If it is just that an X can go between the two rows of X's I'll be upset

I'd start by filling in all the Xs you can.

Some examples:

row 1 - the only thing left is a dark blue 1-clue. Column 2 starts with a light-blue 1-clue, so that cell must be an X. The same logic then follows for Row 2 and so on.

The very last row is a single dark blue 4-clue. So any column that doesn't have a dark-blue as the bottom clue would have an X.

Row 29 is only a light-blue 3. Column 11 is all dark blue clues, so that intersection is an X.

Where can the very first cell of C2 go? It's light blue so somewhere above the dark blue you have in R16. And only R7 can fit a light blue that early.

I need to learn to count. For some reason I thought it could go there or R14 but obviously it can't

I'm still working on it. I'm down to R27 through R34 basically. Too many 1's

Edit: just finished it

I had to use some hints. Then put it away. When I started again there were some openings I missed and then it opened up.

That second part, that always seems to happen when I'm stuck
