How are you supposed to solve with clues blotted out
#2: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Aug 3, 2012
Made a lucky guess and the rest fell into place.

#7: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Aug 4, 2012
it's do-able...very little blots too!
#8: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Aug 4, 2012
I solved this puzzle many times with the blots in different places to make it non-trivial and in the process figured out some blot logic.

I think the image is great.
#14: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Aug 7, 2012
Jan. That is exactly how I did the black as well.
You are welcome.

Thank you Tara.

Excellent solve! Loved it! Thanks Brain. It could be an entry!
#16: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Aug 9, 2012
Thank you. I had not even looked at this week's theme.

While I think it would be a good contender, I'm not sure it is eligible. It was created prior to the end of the last WCP. Can we just rename old puzzles and them be in contention?

Me pointing this out is a bit selfish, because I would really like to see another Brian blot-puzzle!
#18: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Aug 10, 2012
I'll keep them coming. I like the new twist.

Easy except I had to guess to get started in the upper left corner.

I second the other Andrew's comment above.

I let this puzzle simmer in my partially-solved bank for about... 7 years. Came back to it a month ago and thought for a while. Finally looked at it from a new angle today and solved the same way.

I felt pretty bright. Glad everyone else discussed it 8 years ago.

Wait, are you two different people? I did not know that! Come to think of it, you do have different spellings of your last names. I honestly have no idea whether you are the same person or different people. How did I miss that?!
