What a horrible image...but that's not the point. This is the best I could do given the constraints. Do you notice anything about this puzzle related to numbers?

it's the prime puzzle :)

Merili - you get half credit. :)

oh, I missed the odd part :)

that's awesome gator! i can't believe you actually got an image out of it haha.

must not be twisted enought I don't see it Gator

Sylvain - the answer is in the clues.

ant - I can't either. At some point during the puzzle creation, I saw the "ship" taking form so I just went with it. It was not planned from the start.

Great idea and creative work making an image out of it

I see a sequence of prime numbers on the left "clues" and only odd numbers on the top "clues". I also see the Prima about to hit an electric post and think how odd it is that after traveling the space ,,, Welll I thank you for a very creative entry!

Correct. :)

This makes no sense to me.

got it...after reading Jota's comment. Nice one.

I was wondering how this fit the theme. Great job. What a challenge to make the clues work that way for you, and to end up with a nice image, too.

In case anyone still needs clarification, the side clues are the first 20 prime numbers in order. Here "2 3" is meant to be read as "23". The top clues are all odd numbers. Of course, you could have observed this without actually bothering to solve the puzzle.

I can't say that I agree all that much about the image being nice, but it's an interesting exercise.

The spaceship looks nice, but the bottom half (whatever that is, maybe a landing pad, the ship's shadow?) is lacking. But when you are limited by the clues you choose, this was a fine job.

Bottom half is the supposed to be the landing pad - two tier levels to it.

I agree that the image is horrible but it is an awesome puzzle.

Very interesting concept. I can imagine you having the idea in mind, and putting it to the test, and discovering you could actually make it into a solvable puzzle with a somewhat recognizable image. Nice!

Thanks all.

Absolutely original!

Cool. Since I'm a math teacher I especially like it.
