zotmeister | Puzzle 45: Magnetic Field

See Puzzle 8 for instructions. The largest instances of this variety of puzzle I'd seen before building this one were ten-by-ten grids; those lacking any cells already filled in had fifty dominoes to define. Weighing in at two hundred nineteen dominoes, this may well be a world-record construction, larger than any other instance by a factor of more than four: As usual, emailing me your solution may result in a gift. Reports of my having abandoned this journal are entirely false. I've simply been pre-occupied with other creations as of late. In fact, I have some pretty big plans in store for the hopefully-near future. At any rate, I do expect to update more frequently. I feel like I should make up for my four-month absence. My puzzle fans should be happy to know that I have the next four puzzles already composed; my fiction fans (if I have any) should be getting an "episode" or two within the next month. I'm also hoping to provide updates of other natures as well; time will tell. One slightly off-beat thing I've decided to do: I'm actually going to start filling in that "Music" field on my entries. My two-and-a-half-track mind has a song stuck in it more often than not, and it's often something almost completely random; frequently I have NO idea what made it come to mind. This is one of those times. Consider it a possibly meaningless insight into how my brain functions (if that is the proper word for the operation of its virtual CD changer). - ZM

That's a nasty tough one. I worked it for a few hours, then found I'd made a mistake somewhere along the line.

That's a nasty tough one.

Thank you, I'm honored. - ZM

Alright, perhaps against my better judgement, I'll bite: what's the significance of the penny? - ZM

It meant that I'd worked out (what I think is) the solution, and had emailed it to you.

Welcome back, Zot. Thanks for the puzzle, it's a great birthday present to wake up to.

Well, hey, happy birthday. - ZM

I must say I am very excited to see you have posted a new puzzle. I've worked most of the past ones and had to buy some Nikoli books to satisfy my puzzle addiction since you hadn't posted in a while. I must confess I enjoy your puzzles much more. Thanks!

Is anyone else having trouble making columns 8 & 9 work, or am I just being a 'tard? (counting from the left of course)

sorry, being a 'tard... I just had to go a post that and make it public 'tardness :-)

An e-mail is on the way with a solution.

Glad you still out there!

This sounds like the "Current Song Stuck In My Head" idea that was running in my LJ when I was still updating it. An update of my own should come soon, and I say "should" because I give no guarantee that it will come soon.

Edit: And I will also be looking forward to any new fiction "episodes" you intend to post.
