Solvable with only logic! Really!

Gator & Jan: To keep the irony of the title, I'd appreciate it if you'd only comment that it's solvable rather than marking it so. (Assuming you believe it so, of course.) I'd like to see if the inevitable question mark ever disappears on its own.

My head hurts.

Fun, but took a while.

Oh, the irony, it hurts... This is the first puzzle I've done in a long time (not solvable with just line and color logic) that HASN'T been marked with a question mark. :P

First of all, this is a great puzzle. Lots of fun with the different kinds of logic.

Second, let me try to understand. You don't want anyone to mark this puzzle as "requires guessing" but if people do mark it with the question mark, you want to see if the question mark goes away on its own without Jan or Gator marking it solvable? I think Jan's program is designed so that if 3 or more people mark it as "requires guessing" it will have a question mark show up, which will stay there until Jan or Gator mark it as solvable without guessing.

But I'm sure you already understand that part of it. So your experiment is to see if three or more people mark as "rquires guessing" anyway, and then if they go back and mark it as solvable without guessing, will the question mark no longer show up? It might be easier to just ask Jan, since he wrote the script. But this is way more fun! :-)

i solved it wiff my logic and i liked it also, JOE

lol Liz

great puzzle
loved the logic

by the way fasstar i thought that if at least half of the people rated a puzzle as requires guessing than a question mark would show up not just 3 people

even if only person rates it as requires guessing and he/she is the only person to rate the puzzle at that point a question mark will show up

Loved the challenge Joe! Loved the comment Liz!

that hurt my brain...it's late. But I got it!!!
now I can sleep. ;)

My thanks to all the people who liked it and said so. And now after three weeks, the dreaded question mark appears! I wonder if it will live forever now.

Teresa, I thought, like bugaboo, that it was a >50% thing. The Punctuation of Doom often seems to show up with the first rater of my puzzles.

And Liz, I thought buzz words were all the rage. (And then I duck to avoid the rotten vegetables.)

very very nice puzzle. logic only! and i didn't guess the picture until the last pixel, since in my world there are no forests, only lots of trees :)

Thank you, and I agree, Al. It's all numbers and pixels until I finish, too.

I loved this one! It's challenging, it's logically solvable, and it requires (or at least I used) all the kinds of logic I know. Thanks for this puzzle, Joe!

Found to be logically solvable by Gator.

Looks like the question mark didn't come back.

I went ahead and marked it as solvable anyway just in case it did every come back.

I liked this puzzle... Thank you heaps. Not sure if I guessed or used logic but i did solve it and loved the image. Made me smile

You tell 'em, Joe!

excellent puzzle...enjoyed it immensely!

Thanks, bexie, Kristen & Ailsa.

good one, Joe!

I recognized the red "X" after completing the lower right leg of it, but ignored and solved with logic....fun fun!

Thanks, Kurt. Maybe that's why the dreaded question mark went away - the even more dreaded picture "logic".

(And thanks to CJ from two years ago who I seem to have inadvertently skipped over.)

Unique perspective and fun. I did have to guess twice.

crafty!

I think the problem with the question marks is that people will mark it as requiring guessing only because they haven't learned skills to solve it logically. I had no trouble with this puzzle. Currently there is no question mark. Hopefully it stays off!
