Someone had to post this puzzle. It may as well be me.
#2: Mark Conger (aruba) on Mar 27, 2004
That was pretty easy all right! :)
#3: Brian C. Orion (briori) on Mar 27, 2004
Dot's very nice.
#4: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Apr 9, 2004
Cute!
#5: jojo pea (bopeep) on Oct 23, 2004
I really like how you got the whole spirit of the Greek fighters into such a small frame.

This picture, apparently, was taken in the middle of the night...

#9: Nick Mostaccero (cotc16) on May 3, 2006
How is this easy??? It took me 12 hours to figure this one out. O.o
#10: (Private) (cyclone) on May 31, 2006
Hmm...I wish that the spirit of Hercules could also be captured, but I like the expression on the left warrior!
#11: Gitte Olesen (granny40) on Oct 25, 2006

I wish you had negative difficulty ratings-I could use them!
;-)

Oct 20, 2007 P.S. The easiest puzzle(according to Jan) is my #845.
#15: Millie (milliebug) on Jul 6, 2007
now these are the types of puzzles i like, most of the puzzles on this site are to hard for me to complete ...i guess im lucky i have mum to help me with them but i liked this one, its funny. =)
#16: Melody Waynick (Alexyka) on Jul 20, 2007
I love your abuse of artistic license ;P
#17: Ali (popacatapetal) on Jul 29, 2007
Awesome. Best puzzle ever.
#18: Rachel R (rachel) on Oct 6, 2007
I love the description!
#19: Gypso (Gypso) on Oct 9, 2007
You have quite an imagination Jan!
#20: Meg Tayler (rebelcat) on Dec 27, 2007
Lol! :-)
#21: Scylla Kat (scyllacat) on Feb 21, 2008
Ok, I wondered what this was about, but it was worth it to see the description once "solved." I laughed aloud, literally!
#22: JoDeen Mozena (ozymoe) on May 18, 2008
Lololololol...you are a funny person, Jan and I love your sense of humor!
#23: Jota (Jota) on Jul 28, 2008
Great imagination!
#24: Synthia McBride (Synthia) on Aug 18, 2008
That's your interpretation. I see a black cat in a cellar at 3 a.m. on a moonless night. The cat's eyes are closed and she is purring.
#25: Gypso (Gypso) on Aug 18, 2008
Very nice Synthia. ^.^
#26: jack thorn (ravenskuld) on Aug 22, 2008
and the intricate details are amazing! waves lapping against the boats, the dark shadows of clouds hiding the moonlight - all but slivers of eerie silver light, you can almost hear the screams of the dying Trojans... *sniff* just beautiful!
#27: Arduinna (arduinna) on Aug 22, 2008
You've got better eyes than I do!
#28: Nancy Snyder (naneki) on Aug 22, 2008
LOL..Jack, after mentioning it - Yes I do see that too.
#29: Gypso (Gypso) on Aug 22, 2008
I am troubled by the screaming. :o
#30: Scott C (estray98) on Sep 18, 2008
Right.... lmao good one. =>)
#31: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Oct 29, 2008
My question is this... 2186 people have started this puzzle, but only 1329 have completed it.. who are those 857 who haven't solved it??? I would be embarrassed if it were me. :-)

Jan, maybe I just don't understand the "view information" link. I always thought "players" were the total number of people who loaded the puzzle to solve it, and obviously in parentheses the number who have completed it. Is that not correct?

Maybe those 857 people thought they were too good for this puzzle? I just don't get the number discrepancy.
#32: Jan Wolter (jan) on Oct 29, 2008
Yup. I guess a lot of people take one look at it and move on, without feeling the need to solve it, even if solving it takes only two clicks. Either that, or my statistics are bad.
#33: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Oct 29, 2008
I doubt your stats are bad. I was just making sure I understood your "stats" correctly. Why even go into it in the first place, knowing it is a 1x1 then? Oh well. Not that it matters to me. :-)
#34: Deana L (FFsWife) on Oct 29, 2008
if you hit random puzzle, it could come up. That would be how they open it up, but not solve it.
#35: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Oct 29, 2008
Good point.
#36: Paige Porter (paigep) on Nov 16, 2008
Ha Ha that is really funny

#37: Mary Thomas (marleethom) on Jan 24, 2009
I solved it just to get it off my find list of unsolved puzzles. I love the description :)
#38: person harris (games1793) on Jan 27, 2009
good to no
#39: Stepho Guy (Stepho) on Apr 9, 2009
Man, this is one of the hardest puzzles ever! I thought I might never finish it! If it weren't for you guys hints plus the description, I would have been stuck for at least a few more days!
#40: Cro-Magnon (Hermit) on Dec 1, 2009
Hilarious description!! Since I try to rate based on other puzzles of the same size, how can I not give this top marks? Love it. :-D
#41: Liza Jane Corp (spiffy17) on Feb 10, 2010
Soooooo hard!!!!!!!
#42: Amanda French (Amandarose_20) on Apr 20, 2010
lol Jan, too funny!
#43: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on May 21, 2010
this is my 800th puzzle to solve on your site, Jan
thx
#44: Larry Gilbert (L2G) on Jul 17, 2010
I am sorry there is no "Humor" rating alongside the "Quality" and "Difficulty" ratings, else I would have given it a 5 in that category.
#45: CJ Smith (cjsmith) on Aug 4, 2010
Excellent description! More than worth it for that alone. :D
#46: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Aug 4, 2010
i think jan is favoring the troy citizens
#47: Sue Ess (SusieQ1723) on Sep 18, 2010

#62: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Oct 27, 2012
The actual comment in # 61 makes as much sense as the name of the person who made it. :-)
#63: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Oct 28, 2012
maybe, Jan, you should blot this one ;/
#64: Benjamin Avrahami (ben13) on Jan 2, 2013

#67: Greggo (Greggo) on Nov 21, 2017
