Second from bottom as well. Curious at the significance of the colours, also.
Now you mentioned, I just noticed the 1st horizontal line doesn't make sense.
6th from the top doesn't work even with consecutive colours unfortunately, there's something else going on
If they are different colors, then they can touch. So you can do the 4th row.
I see what you mean now. Only 9 columns end in black. Maybe blocks with numbers in them count for greater?
And there's no way to fill in black on the bottom row in such a way as it matches with the columns, if you consider each block to be worth either 1 or its numerical value.
Added to OP.
That doesn't work either. Look at the 13th column for example. The highest number you can remove is 4 and you still end up with more than 15 entries including spaces.
I think that works, so long as you can place colours in consecutive squares.
But there's no consecutive colours in the 13th column once you've removed a 4...
Sorry, I mean different colours in consecutive squares. like a red and a black can sit next to each other and be counted separately.
i hate myself that I don't have the patience for these things.
The only reasonable way I can see to proceed is to make assumptions about the rules and then operate under them until they prove irreconcilable with the puzzle.
I think I solved it? At least following normal picross rules and eliminating one number per row/column, but I didn't do anything with the numbers and letters on the grid. It looks like the earth was turned into the letter Q and part of it was red for some reason
Looking at reddit, it's easier to tell what it is when it's small, it's the earth with a magnifying glass in front of it
If this is correct, then the following letters are inside of the icon
