Topic: Marios Picross SNES - Mario Special levels logic/guessing?

Hi,

I know this gets asked a lot on Picross game forums, but I wonder if the later Mario Special levels I-L are solvable without guessing. The A- H were hard, but I could solve them within the time limit. The S to L problems make me continuously run out of time because i hit a wall.

There is a faq about advanced techniques, which already use. One of that techniques, i never heard about, is called hetched bet, which means making guesses give as much information as possible, even if you guess wrong and lose time.

So my question is: Have you been able to solve I-L by logic alone, or do the later special levels require some special techniques like guessing.
