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]

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]

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.
