This is really a nice puzzle. I think it would be worth fixing the small bit of nonuniqueness that's left.#6: Sarah Andrews (sarah) on Nov 22, 2007
I really like this; your design is good.#7: Scylla Kat (scyllacat) on Mar 10, 2008
Very enjoyable to solve. If you felt like putting a little more work on it, I'd love to see a unique solution.#8: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Jun 4, 2009

The puzzle has multiple solutions. You have to at least guess which is the right one.#11: Avgvstvs (Avgvstvs) on May 1, 2011 [HINT]

Gator, I don't doubt your word on that; You have far more solving skills and experience than I. I would defer to your opinion on any puzzle here. I'm still new at this and am still trying to understand some of the logics and how to apply them; however, I usually bail on puzzles with the ? because they can be a pain to solve. What I was trying to say was that I just breezed through the puzzle w/o being aware of the need to guess at any given point, nor did I run into the 'this is one of the solutions but not the chosen solution' message. However, I am willing to concede the possibility that I may have guessed as a reflex action and not been consciouly aware of it; hence my saying "I don't recall having to make any guesses..." instead of "I didn't have to guess". I wasn't trying to be difficult or argumentative, just voicing my surprise.#15: Byrdie (byrdie) on Sep 14, 2013
I solved this puzzle without guessing. I don't see any evidence that it was changed (unpublished and republished) but I can't recall any place that the solution wasn't clear.#16: Gator (gator) on Dec 30, 2013 [HINT] [SPOILER]
