Puzzle Description:
Its a flamingo / I noticed that some puzzles labeled as some guessing required, but can be solved logically if it is assumed to be symmetrical. So i wondered if you could every logically assume a puzzle was symmetrical, this is an example of why you cant; however I was unable to make one with only one color that had only one solution. Can it be logically assumed a B/W puzzle with only one solution and has symmetrical clues must produce a symmetrical image?

as i understand it, it can be logically assumed that a puzzle (B&W or color) WITH ONLY ONE SOLUTION and having truly symmetrical clues MUST produce a symmetrical image...provided that the clues on the left/vertical are symmetrical/palindromes as well.#2: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Apr 10, 2012 [HINT]
In cases like your puzzle, where only the top clues are symmetrical and the left clues are not "balanced" in this way, the image MUST NOT be symmetrical.
nice flamingo.
