 I've completed the puzzle but I'm having a hard time with the second layer. Has anyone figured this one out? |

I'm not very good at this particular type of puzzle so I am not finished yet. So far it looks like An arrow. I had to put my papers away, as my cats were starving for attention. |

I'm in the same boat as you. I've been doing this kind of puzzle for years and years, so I ripped through the first layer right away, but nothing's jumping out at me as to how to proceed. I had thought to compare the grid to other puzzles in the issue, as we've done for others, but nothing matches up. |

This is one of those puzzles I'm lost on how to do. I understand that you need to shade in the boxes according to the numbers. But how do you figure out where to shade for the ones with multiple numbers?

This is one of those puzzles I'm lost on how to do. I understand that you need to shade in the boxes according to the numbers. But how do you figure out where to shade for the ones with multiple numbers? I will get you started On the top line, on the left you see 18. That means there are 18 shaded boxes in that row. There are only 20 boxes in that row total. That means only 2 will not be shaded in. The 18 will be consecutive because it is the only number in that row. So...no matter where the 18 starts from, many boxes will HAVE to be shaded in. Message me if anytime if you need more! |

Oh, and since I just re-read your post and realized I didn't really answer your question lol.... Numbers will be separated by at LEAST one space. Mark these with a dot or an X to keep track. Same idea applies for multiple numbers as for one....that there will be some overlap. It helps if you start with the bigger numbers. |

I guess I don't understand how you decide where the second shaded squares go. At least one square over, but what determines it's one or more spaces? I don't see how you figure it out. |

It is a logic puzzle, like sudoku. The whole puzzle works together. I started with the larger numbers, to help me determine which ones I knew for sure and worked my way though.

Here's a link to a great puzzle site I use that hosts a variety of types of puzzles, nonograms included. The page I've linked has a host of techniques you can use when solving this kind of puzzle. There are other pages linked on the left side if you don't find exactly what you're looking for. This should get you exactly the kind of info you need to successfully solve Atmosfear. |

That's a great resource, Maturin! Since it's the second time we've seen this sort of puzzle, I think we should get used to it. |
