I think not: please check my counting

Plasmid, In what sense is this not a total solution?

I question whether the information given about a figure is sufficient to uniquely determine the number of included squares:
-
While this doesn’t answer the question with randomly placed 1s, I think it does give an upper bound to the number of columns that can be removed.

Much more satisfying, thank you!

Ooh, now I see what you mean. Much different problem. Sorry

Sorry, proof was right, but method for calculation was confusing
-
Hah! It’s exactly right!

Tricky enough as it is—here is my first cut
