Puzzle Description:

Pilot's helmet from Bubblegum Crisis.

Very difficult color logic.

I used some advanced logic as well, but the checker says only color is needed.

Why do people who don't solve a puzzle rate it? There is one solver so far: me.

And two raters.
Myself, giving it a warning rating of 4 difficulty (and skipping the quality rating), and
Someone Else, giving it a 3 quality and 1(!!) difficulty

They obviously didn't even try it.

I have never rated a puzzle because I prefer to comment; seems a little more personal.

I spent a lot of time on the upper left half of the image trying to get the blue. Quite satisfying when I finally got it!

Thanks for the fun.

Bubblegum Crisis is a 1987 cyberpunk mecha anime set in a future, post-earthquake Tokyo, called "Mega Tokyo".

Here's a picture of the four power-suited heroines from the series. The puzzle is of the lower left one's helmet.

Minnie - you posted while I was typing!

I'm glad you liked it. And I like your comments.

I don't see rating and commenting as an either-or thing. I always rate and I sometimes comment. I'm a very reserved person, so I really only comment if I have something new to add.

But I always rate. I see rating as a courtesy to future solvers. Most do not read the comments before they solve the puzzle, so the only way they know ahead of time if a certain puzzle is easy or brain-busting, or universally reviled, is by the ratings.

Wow, this one was really tough. Like Minnie, I thought it was very satisfying once I got it.

I thought it was George Washington blowing a bubble. :-)

Ratings are weird. This is much better than the 2 I see currently for quality, and harder than a 3 for difficulty. I can't figure out why people rate the way they do, it doesn't seem that complicated.

I didn't recognize the image, but I'm giving it a 4 because it was so darn fun to solve, and it gets a 4 for difficulty because it was one of the most challenging puzzles I have solved.

Rewarding solve but I did need to make multiple guesses.

Really excellent puzzle. I don't rate 5s a lot bc that kinda means best possible to me, but this is a 5 for me. Thanks for it!

Once I read what it was I immediately recognized it, but then I did watch my share of anime in the 80s and 90s!
