Very odd.#6: Yonah Kondor (yokon965) on Feb 10, 2021
LOL I've yet to figure out that language... While I work on that, what am I looking at in the image here??#7: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Feb 10, 2021 [SPOILER]
It's a PBN puzzle. The little green dots show which row & column you're on, and the tip of the cursor is about to click in that square. Note the dot in the next cell, to denote a blank space. It's meta-minimal.#8: Aurelian Ginkgo (AurelianGinkgo) on Feb 10, 2021
Very nice puzzle. The image, of course, is ok, but then, I don't think you were going for spectacular looks. The solve, though... that bit at the end called for a not-so-frequently used solving technique.#9: Yonah Kondor (yokon965) on Feb 11, 2021
@3: This is exactly what I did, too! It just made the most sense to me as the easiest solution. I still don't have a grasp of deep lookahead because I can't keep track of that many steps in my head yet. But I can count real good.
@KC OF COURSE! How did I not see that??? :)#10: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Feb 11, 2021
