Puzzle Description:

Kinda looks like a bird on a perch. Trying to create more completely blotted puzzles.

the blue in c-6 won't color the aquares for me

I think you have to go to the Options and turn off the don't use colors that are already complete or whatever it is called.

^what Gator said

"When cycling cell colors,skip colors for which enough cells have already been set"

It is amazing that you can create a solvable puzzle with all the clues blotted. Good job.

Now you just have to create one that looks like something too.

I may have fixed the bug with not being able to paint cells blue after a while.

thx Gator]
lol Jan

Jan - yeah, that's a lot harder than it sounds. :)

Thanks for fixing the bug.

I hate the blots!!!!!!

Luckily, they're clearly marked with a black square, so you can avoid them.

Parrot maybe?

Toucan?

My colors don't match up. I have 3 blacks on the left and 4 on the top, same with the blue, 4 on the left and 2 on the top. I cannot finish this.

The blots work a bit differently. One blot replaces a number; it could be 1 or 6 or 17; any solid line of a color.

Look at the blues: a single blue blot in the rightmost column, but 3 blots in rows 4-6. The green blot above the blue blot in C6 prevents the blot in R3 from being included. Therefore, since there are no other blue clues, the blot in C6 must be a blue 3.

Nice effort, Gator. Not enthralled and it seems like it will be the flavor of the month.

(singing) I loooooove the blots!

This was easy for me! I'm I weird?

This was my second blotted puzzle to solve. When I looked at the title (and author), I thought it would be very hard.

After looking at the clues for a minute, I realized it wasn't. I solved it KRGBW.

It is a very good depiction of a hunchback toucan.

Yeah, I may abandon trying to create the completely blotted puzzles. Much harder to create than to solve, and what's the fun in that?

I did the old lady in the shoe, and it took me two days to solve it. I much prefer, and apreciate your 20x or 15x B&W

There's fun in everything Gator!

I wouldn't mind seeing you make a few more - maybe there's a new sort of Blot-Logic out there, waiting to be discovered.

I'm a blot fan! I enjoy the little extra twist, seems to wake up a few formerly unused brain cells. :-)

It's very hard to make a completely blotted puzzle that actually looks like something. Good Job!
But why not fit it in a 5x5 grid?

Gator explains that in another puzzle. The clues got crowded on his browser, so he added the extra white border.

Yeah, you actually cannot see all of the clues in order to blot them out.

That's in the puzzle editing mode.

Well, it doesn't look like a bird to me, but I did enjoy solving the puzzle.
