good job on the penguin#3: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Jan 1, 2011 [SPOILER]
I originally had no ocean in the background but the raised foot had multiple solutions. I like this better.#4: JoDeen Mozena (ozymoe) on Jan 1, 2011
Very funny, Tom.#5: Trish (tryingmysoul) on Jan 1, 2011 [SPOILER]

Very good idea to make it solvable. I love all the white space. Nicely done, Brian.#8: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Jan 3, 2011
Thank you TK#9: Karen Sakamoto (baddemo) on Jan 3, 2011
Very good use of white space.#10: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Jan 3, 2011
Thank you Karen.#11: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Jan 5, 2011
I guess that I understand why the difficulty of this puzzle is down to 2 but why is the quality of a cute little puzzle like this only 2.5? Are people tougher on 20x20 and smaller puzzles? Is there a forum topic on ratings? I think I'd like to know what others have to say on this topic.#12: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Jan 6, 2011
i really dig smaller puzzles, Brian#13: Gator (Gator) on Jan 6, 2011
Brian - as one that mostly does smaller puzzles, I can definitely say that the smaller the puzzle, the harder the quality rating gets hit (on average). The highest quality rating I've ever gotten on a 20x20 or less is 3.75. So there appears to be a barrier that these smaller puzzles cannot break.#14: Jota (jota) on Jan 7, 2011
I love this puzzle! I really enjoy smaller puzzles and I don't look at the ratings much, because people in here tend to like huge colorful ones, which are the ones I try to stay away from. Thanks for an excellent one!#15: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Jan 7, 2011
I think quality should be how pleasing the image is and not have anything to do with size or difficulty.#16: Jane Doe (telly) on Feb 3, 2011
ditto #7#17: Andrew Schultz (blurglecruncheon) on Dec 7, 2021 [SPOILER]
Well done! I followed here from #13604, which I liked, and wasn't disappointed.#18: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Mar 30, 2022
People are mean and weird. This is a terrific puzzle, and deserves a MINIMUM of 4 stars, as it is clearly "above" average. As are all of your puzzles moot.#19: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Mar 30, 2022
That is kind of you to say, but I've made some clunkers too.#20: JoDeen Mozena (ozymoe) on Apr 1, 2022
I just think that if a puzzle comes out nice, people should give it a 4 or 5 for quality regardless of how difficult it is. I usually don't rate my own puzzles but if I did, this would get a 5 from me.
Totally enamored of this particular puzz...sooo good!
