solvablity is the most important thing - puzzles are to be logical ---NO GUESSING - - if the picture suffers - so be it, but this site is for logic puzzles, not artwork.

how do you advance your logic without making a leap once in a while, the picture is there if you can visualize it logicially, that is the unquiness of these puzzles

Simplicity is boring, but solvability is key. Yes, it's nice for the image to be good -- in fact I prefer it -- but the only way I could solve this puzzle was to proceed from what I assumed the image was going to be. That's not a logic puzzle. That's a coloring book. And multiple solutions are never okay.

I agree with the above comments. I really dislike having more than one possible solution. It takes a lot of the fun out of it for me. It makes it into a guessing game (trying to read someone's mind) rather than a game of logic.
