Well when I am having trouble I go to solve the puzzle my self and I start off by going as far as I can by line logic alone, and then I use the helper button which will fill in any you have missed, then from there I can see where the problem areas are and from there you can go back to editing and put a few more pixels in that area. When I get to the stage where the checker says that it is logically solvable and unique, I then can go and take a few pixels away from the picture, but using the checker every time, sometimes it is just one pixel that will make the difference between a logically solvable puzzle and guessing puzzle. With the duck puzzle I just created it may seem like guessing is required, but I solved it logically with no guessing, this required me to go back and forth 19 times to make sure of this, and drove me a little nutty in doing so, it is always a safer bet and easier to use the puzzle checker, especially for the larger puzzles. I hope this has helped Aldege, maybe you could make a new version of this one, just work on the original making it solvable by logic alone, it is such a wonderful image.

I'm stuck and can't solve this one, so I'm going to stop before I get frustrated. When a large puzzle requires guessing, I usually just skip it, but I hate having to skip one of yours. Oh well.

Aldege, I enjoy these detailed story puzzles more when they were in color. More fun to solve, and easier to get in the detail that makes your puzzles so interesting.

thx Lilly,yeah Ed's nice and he won't charge the Flubbs more than what it cost to make the changes to their car.

Your right Annalivia,Ed wants to do whatever he has to to make the customer happy,it ensures repeat business from that customer plus word of mouth is the best form of advertising,however if he gave the Flubbs their money back he would have to absorb the loss himself and he wouldn't stay in business long if he did that too many times.Ed has a family of employees to think about and he doesn't want to see them unemployed.It's not all about making money.:)
