This puzzle requires a lot of patience!

You must remember what you've just changed and figure out what pixels that influences. Quite often those changes are obscure.

If you don't like that, please pick another puzzle.

great fun again infrapinklizzard
i actually thought this one was easier than a lot of yours
i also only had to use edge logic on that bottom 4 after doing line logic and then it solved easily and of course logically
it looked like a man windsurfing early on (but then he started doing the splits and kickinghimself in the head) and then it looked like a cracker with a bite out of it
i can still both of those things

Thanks, bugaboo. I, too thought it wasn't too bad, but it was up to 20 players before another person solved it. Even now, the solve rate is under 25%.

I had to clear this once and start completely over the next morning when I wasn't tired...

Thanks for another interesting image.

The title *is* rather ironic...
#8: paul dahmer (paul) on Jun 6, 2010
wonderful - i love no guessing puzzles!!! well done
#9: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jun 6, 2010
Thanks, Paul. I never publish a puzzle I haven't solved myself, and I HATE guessing.

Found to be logically solvable by Gator.

Very challenging and I think I might have guessed once or maybe using some kind of logic I don't understand - anyway, I was pleased to be able to solve it.
#13: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jun 7, 2010
Congratulations, Susan, and I'm glad you liked it.
#14: Teresa K (fasstar) on Jun 9, 2010
Nice puzzle, Joe. Good challenge, clever title.
#15: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jun 9, 2010
Thanks, Teresa. The title is ironic at the beginning, but oh so apt by the end.
#16: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Jun 18, 2010
took me a week to solve it .... lol
#17: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jun 18, 2010
Tom, still less than one third of the people who start finish it, so consider yourself in the top.
#18: Jota (jota) on Jul 8, 2010
Nice !!!
#19: karl (keicher) on Jun 30, 2011

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for telling.

Very tough puzzle even having an idea of what it was. Too many restarts needed to make it fun.
#24: derby (Derby) on Apr 17, 2019
Can be solved with line and edge logic alone. Good puzzle.
#25: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Jul 10, 2019
I couldn't figure out how the title related to bras on a clothesline :)

When it popped, WOW! GREAT motion IPL!
#26: Bruce Beckett (Bruce Beatlefan) on Nov 29, 2020
Previous comments say it all. I'm happy to solve it at first crack, no guessing, when I see the low solve percent. This is the kind of puzzle I wish for when I start doing one of these. Thanks for killing my Sunday evening!
#27: Ailsa Hebert (bazette3) on Nov 9, 2021
Nice puzzle! Really enjoyed the solve! Thanks!
