Puzzle Description:
A 1950 Ford Custom Ragtop sits parked next to an apple tree,seeking protection from the rain. The owner put a racoons tail on the rear antenna. Anyone remember those days.

It has always bothered me that i couldn't make a green car,because i used green for chrome. I decided to use white for chrome and try green as the body colour. I hope it looks ok. I also wanted to see just how many blots could be used,while still keeping the puzzle solvable by logic alone. Quite a few in this one. I hope it isn't too hard and frustrating for you solvers.:)#2: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Sep 14, 2012
Ack!! Too many blots! I'll try to revisit this one later.#3: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Sep 14, 2012
Sorry Kristen.:(#4: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Sep 14, 2012
I'm with Kristen. I'll try again when my eyes are not burning. Something in the air.......#5: Jota (jota) on Sep 14, 2012
I will keep trying my friend, so far I've placed almost all the reds ...#6: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Sep 14, 2012
Norma,i hope it's not due to my puzzle.:)#7: Jota (jota) on Sep 14, 2012
Jota,i figured it would be a toughie,Niki has only solved one other blot puzzle before,she's still working on it too,but she says she has a lot of it done.:)
Nikki HELP!#8: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Sep 15, 2012 [SPOILER]
showing off your tail, huh ;/#9: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Sep 15, 2012
Lol,yup.:)#10: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Sep 15, 2012
holy crap, Al! I haven't even started it yet...saw a million blots and had to check out the comments. well, here goes...#11: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Sep 15, 2012
damn it, Al! I'm revoking your blot privileges...#12: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Sep 15, 2012
great image, Al!#13: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Sep 16, 2012
(it better be after 4 hrs, 45 mins)lol
Rofl Kurt. I promise i won't make another blot like this one. I just wanted to experiment with the idea of seeing how many blots I could get in this puzzle,and still keep it solvable. Glad you liked the image. My wife Niki has spent at least 4 hrs on it so far and hasn't finished yet.:)#14: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Sep 16, 2012 [HINT] [SPOILER]

I saw all those blots and said, "No way!" I like a good challenge, but this looks a little too frustrating. Sorry, Aldege.#16: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Sep 17, 2012
No i'm sorry Teresa,I was hoping it would be a good challenge without the frustration. Funny thing is it's solvable,and now i see it's only rated at a 3.25 for difficulty.:)#17: Jota (jota) on Sep 18, 2012
I don't think this is Very Hard ***** but EXTREMELY hard it deserves **********#18: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Sep 18, 2012
Lol Thx Jota,i think:)#19: Vaggelis Kamaris (evag7651) on Dec 10, 2016
At least solved. very hard, bur solvable without guessing.#20: Maida Corby (sweetmaida) on Mar 16, 2017
Very VERY hard, but logically solvable. Great challenge!!#21: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Feb 21, 2018
Started, but really this many blots make it totally unfun.#22: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Jun 26, 2018
Tried again. Got a little further but again it is just not fun.#23: derby (Derby) on Oct 4, 2018
Very very hard. I started over numerous times and I still am stuck on the sky. I believe it is solveable, but not by me! One of the toughest puzzles on the site I think. Awesome work, Aldege.#24: Velma Warren (Shiro) on Dec 1, 2018 [SPOILER]
Thanks
Well, I finished it with an extraordinary number of guesses. I see the wheels. the apple tree and maybe the ragtop, but the rest is just too obscure. Can't find the racoon tail at all.#25: derby (Derby) on Mar 5, 2020 [HINT] [SPOILER]

Wow this was hard, *almost* tedious because you're placing one pixel at a time, but the challenge was fun. I like the image, as well.#28: derby (Derby) on Oct 8, 2022 [HINT] [SPOILER]

Hardest one yet. Very fun though.#30: LoloJean (LoloJean) on Sep 29, 2023
I think this is gonna be one I pick at for a while. I'm enjoying the process!#31: LoloJean (LoloJean) on Oct 7, 2023
I keep picking at this one. Every time I'm SURE there's nothing more to do with line or color logic, I put it down and come back in a few days and find something I missed. Very satisfying, if slow solve.
