Fun puzzle Aldege, smile logic to finish, and a smile to finish for me too for creating my favourite kind of puzzle, thank you :)#2: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Jan 6, 2012
your very welcome marz,and thank you.:)#3: Tom King (sgusa) on Jan 6, 2012
Excellent, Aldege. Same finish as marz. Thanks. I love 20x20 B&W as well.#4: Joel Lynn (furface1) on Jan 7, 2012
Good one, Aldege!#5: Carol Brand (KarylAnn) on Jan 7, 2012 [SPOILER]
Nice job, Aldege. I took fencing in college, it was lots of fun. Though I broke my, then in style, granny glasses taking the mask off!#6: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Jan 7, 2012
Thx Tom,Joel,and Carol. I think a lot of us like 20x20 B&W's,but i have to ask,why just 20x20? I personally love making B&W's,but the size isn't a big deal to me. Also,i love solving B&W's on paper,but not so much on the computer. I know that's weird because on paper if i make a mistake,it's much harder to correct,but for some reason i get more enjoyment out of it...And when did granny glasses go out of style Carol,lol.:)#7: Carol Brand (KarylAnn) on Jan 7, 2012
You're right, Aldege, they are back in style!#8: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Jan 7, 2012 [SPOILER]
Nice puzzle Aldege. Only figured out what it was at the very end. I took fencing too. Fun.#9: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Jan 7, 2012
I prefer 20x20 because I can see all of the clues without scrolling. My near vision is not good so the clues are too hard to read if the puzzle is larger than 30x25.
Thx Brian,i understand your reasoning,but i thought there might be more to it than that.:)#10: Susan Duncan (medic25733) on Jan 8, 2012 [SPOILER]
Very good puzzle Aldege - I guess it as soon as I saw the epee on the right#11: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Jan 8, 2012
Thx Susan.:)#12: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Jan 8, 2012
There might be a short attention span effect as well. Let's not forget that a 40x40 is not twice as large but 4 time as large as a 20x20.#13: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Jan 8, 2012
Well i do understand that,cause i know i lose interest,but i'm not a true solver.:)#14: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Jan 8, 2012
I've probably said it so many times that I sound like a broken record, but, I make the kind of puzzles I like to solve. That is why so few of my puzzles are larger than 30x25. And, I have made almost 500 puzzles.#15: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Jan 8, 2012
519, Brian.#16: Tom King (sgusa) on Jan 8, 2012
100% ditto Brian. You don't have to scroll. If you enlarge taller puzzles, you need to increase the size of the grid, and it loses "5-lines" at the medium enlargement. At the largest, it is too big. Short attentio span, too. I don't bother with puzzles bigger than 30x30, and rarely, then. Width isn't a problem.#17: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Jan 8, 2012
It is actually 35 fewer. Some glitch created 35 non-existent puzzles in my list. I can't edit them nor delete them. They are 14315-14349.#18: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jan 10, 2012
Brian, it should be 519 published puzzles. The # shown on the Users page is only published puzzles, and a search shows that none of the glitch puzzles are published.#19: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Jan 10, 2012
I like 20x20 puzzles, too, but I find it very difficult to make a good picture in one. Thus mine are generally up to 30x30. (Which is pretty much the upper limit of viewability on my ancient laptop.) When I'm experimenting with funky logic, I keep them small, though.
Aldege, you are right. I counted them and none of the glitches are counted. If I had known, I would have made up something "special" for #500.#20: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Jan 17, 2012
Found to be logically solvable by gator.#21: Gator (gator) on Jan 17, 2012
Fun solve.#22: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Jan 17, 2012
thx Gator.:)#23: BlackCat (BlackCat) on May 3, 2018
Fun solve.
