i have one of the solutions but not the intended one...any clue how i can fix it?
#2: Petra Lassen (stjarna) on Aug 31, 2007
No... but I'm going to work on this puzzle one of these days to get one solution only, completely solvable by logic. I realize that I will have to add moe black... but at the same time, I don't want to ruin the pic, you know.
#3: Danielle M Spar (attilasd) on Sep 1, 2007
yeah...but this one has taken me literally weeks to finally solve because i kept on having to guess and when i did, i got the wrong solution

I think this is probably best unpublished until it has been fixed up a bit. It's a lot of work, and in the end you hit a dead end, from which only massive guessing gets you ahead.

Looks good though. I hope you are able to get it working better.

I've edited the puzzle, used the helper to check if it's solvable - and now it's solvable by logic alone!

There are still two solutions for the 'moustache' - if you got rid of the freckle or moved it up or down a row, then it should have a single solution. Very nice and challenging picture though.

Lovely! I tried this the first time around and gave up. I'm glad you modified it - it is a pleasure to solve now and the picture is gorgeous.

Yipee! I did it! *doing a victory dance* I started on your older version and was so happy to see the new title "now fully solvable". Even with the new version there were sections I had to take out and retry. What a wonderful and fun challenge. Strained every inch of my puzzling brain! Sooo much fun!

The picture is spectacular Petra! Absolutely breathtaking! I can't imagine how difficult this was to first make. Then when you tweaked it into the new version here, you must have gone bonkers! Thank you for all your hard work from start to finish!
Your puzzle has become one of my all time favorites Petra. I can't thank you enough!
Yipee! I did it! ^V^

Great job! Tough puzzle, but with patience (a lot of patience) it all came together.

Am I the only one who thinks the mouth makes her look like Mae West? "Why don't you come up and see me sometime?" Hard but very satisfying to solve.
