Puzzle Description:

This is a copy ad for Jordan automobiles from the 1920's.It's suppose to be a man on horseback,whipping his horse with his hat,while a beautiful young woman races by in her 1924 Jordan Playboy automobile. Sorry i could not get it solvable by logic alone.

Well, I'm stuck, and I don't want to peek, that would spoil the fun. I got as far as I could with line logic and color logic. There doesn't seem to be any edge logic. Too bad, because I really would like to solve this puzzle. Waaaahhhhh.

I'm sorry Teresa,maybe Gator could help?

I had to squint for a while to make out the man and horse. I also had to mark it as solved. :( Maybe if you cleaned up the lines in the background it would make more visual sense and be easier to solve.

Thx Kristen,i considered doing what you suggested but then i thought no i'll leave it the way it is because a lot of people have said in the past that they actually look for the puzzles with ?'s,that and my initial intention was to have people work at making out the image and then after reading the description say ,"ah yeah i see that".

I solved it without guessing.
Took me awhile though.
I rated it 5-5,and I do not understand who was rating it low for quality.
Super puzzle!!

thx naum,i knew it wouldn't appeal to everyone,but i'm glad you saw it the way i did naum,you have to squint,scratch your head,put on your glasses,or take them off and then it hits you.I thought it was a cool image.:)
