[Level Pack] Forced Solutions (Hard)
In this level pack, assumptions MUST make the puzzle solvable without guessing. Put another way, if an assumption results in a solution from which no further deductions can be made without guessing, then it is an incorrect assumption. It doesn't necessarily mean that the cell you assume is blue isn't a blue, just you'll need to make other assumptions elsewhere to ensure the puzzle can be solved without guessing. To solve the puzzles properly, begin your assumptions using the cells in the text clues, and determine where they can, and cannot be located to make the puzzle solvable.
The puzzles are designed similar to Zelox's "Can Be Solved" puzzles, where in order for the puzzles to appear unsolvable yet solvable at the same time, certain cells would need to be given in the text clues.
I wrote a walkthru for the first puzzle in the comments here. If you get stuck, take a look at the walkthru so you'll have an idea of how to make assumptions for the rest of the puzzles.
