25I think your definition of simple differs from mine – Beastly Gerbil Mar 02 '17 at 15:41

2I'm a little way through and it seems clear what kind of thing is happening. Nice! – Gareth McCaughan Mar 02 '17 at 15:57

By the way, should this have the no-computers tag on it? I'm attacking it by hand, but a computer program would make short work of it :-). – Gareth McCaughan Mar 02 '17 at 15:58

1I'm still learning all the different kinds of puzzles.. Just learned how these work and going to take a crack at it after practicing a few, but I'm sure someone will finish way before me ;) – n_plum Mar 02 '17 at 16:57

4The comment I was going to make was: I'm pretty sure there is in fact a simple nonogram in this puzzle. (And lo, there is.) – Gareth McCaughan Mar 02 '17 at 17:18

Final answer is
or perhaps I should say
PSE.
I confess that I only bothered going this far by strict logical inference
before allowing myself to make the obvious assumptions about the structure of the solution, leading to this (where white and yellow should now be treated as equivalent):
whereupon it's clear how to get to the solution at the top.

1After you had mentioned the "nice thing" in the comments I noticed the positions of the empty rows and columns and suspected a nested nonogram (Nonogramyoshka?). But you had a headstart of an hour and I had little hope of beating you. Nice, indeed! – M Oehm Mar 02 '17 at 17:21
