Its hilarious that so many people have chosen to "solve" this puzzle - thanks for playing along!
I was inspired to make it after my serious puzzle 'You Make Me Quiver' was solved 7 minutes after it was published. Its not easy, and I'm not sure I could solve it that quickly even though I know exactly what the solve path is.

Wow. Truly incredible puzzle you've set here. Packing this much interesting logic into 81 cells with such simplistic rules? Amazing work! Everytime I look back at the grid, I notice a new detail I hadn't appreciated. This puzzle deserves all compliments it received in the comments. I hope you make a sequel to this!

Thank you for resurrecting the fog genre! After creating the first fog puzzle, I was ashamed of what everyone turned it into - all these puzzles where the digits must be deduced logically... You returned me belief into this genre, now I'm proud of it again! Brilliant puzzle!
