thanks for your pointy entry, Kristen
#4: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Mar 12, 2013
That's a long solve description. Lately I've been simplifying my images until they're LLS, but I decided to keep this one a bit harder (or pointier?).
#5: Jota (jota) on Mar 12, 2013
I loved solving this! Thanks!
I personally loved the dress too.
Thanks Kristen!
#6: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Mar 12, 2013
You're welcome, Jota :)
#7: bugaboo (bugaboo) on Mar 12, 2013
keep them difficult kristen
the more difficult the better as long as they are logically solvable
#8: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Mar 12, 2013
Even as an 8 yr old,I thought the pointier the better,lol.:)
#9: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Mar 12, 2013
lol Al
#10: Jota (jota) on Mar 17, 2013
I wish the question mark would disappear!
#11: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Mar 17, 2013
how much would you pay, Jota?
#12: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Mar 17, 2013
Congrats Kristen.:)
#13: Kristen Vognild (Kristen) on Mar 17, 2013
Thanks :)
#14: Jota (jota) on Mar 17, 2013
Even tough the question mark didn't disappear I had to rely on me solving it w/o guessing and the Bug saying so.
Congrats Kristen!
#15: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Mar 18, 2013
ditto Jota

Yiii!! Beautiful image. Couldn't get it (without Bugaboo's hints) and couldn't set it down. Definitely fun, but my morning's gone.
#17: Kristen Vognild (Kristen) on Apr 2, 2013
Sorry! And you're welcome. ;)
#18: Kristen Vognild (Kristen) on Aug 27, 2013
Hey Joe, where you going with that gun in your hand? I mean--could you rule on this puzzle, so it loses the red question mark?
#19: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Aug 27, 2013
Wow, only 13 raters and at least 8 say guessing - I would assume that 5+ must say much guessing. Well, my shiny new gun says otherwise.
#20: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Aug 27, 2013
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.
#21: Jota (jota) on Aug 27, 2013
Yes!
#22: Kristen Vognild (Kristen) on Aug 27, 2013
Thanks!

Uh, Who is Annie, and why are her nipples being called into question?

(I just found and solved this puzz for the first time today)
