Thought I'd do a puzzle demonstrating a less common kind of logic. It'd be nice if it actually looked like something.#2: Mark Conger (aruba) on Apr 5, 2004
Very cool - this one isn't too hard, but it does require some unusual logical thinking.#3: Philip Snyder (Alex72) on Apr 7, 2004
Very interesting. Educated guessing was the key to this one.#4: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Apr 9, 2004
Wow -- tricky getting started; I liked that it needed a different type of logic than most of these puzzles.#5: Jan Wolter (jan) on Oct 28, 2004 [HINT]

puzzle is good, the picture not so good#7: zandperl (zandperl) on Jun 21, 2005
Didn't even occur to me to use the logic you were speaking of. For a puzzle this size, I just started off with a guess. I think if it were larger I would've thought about it more rather than risk redoing it twenty times with bad guesses.#8: Rachel R (rachel) on Aug 25, 2007
I also enjoyed the alternative logic.#9: Deana L (FFsWife) on Oct 26, 2007
I can't tell you how many times I've looked at this puzzle and decided I didn't want to mess with it! :D Tonight, it finally clicked! Thanks for the lesson.#10: Gypso (Gypso) on Oct 14, 2007
Fun use of my brain Jan. Thanks!#11: Naomi Millar (sailormewtwo) on Nov 28, 2007
I randomly decided to try this one again. The first time was months back and I had no end of trouble. This time, no problem. It's kinda nice to see how I've progressed :)#12: Gypso (Gypso) on Nov 28, 2007
I've noticed the same thing Naomi. It's motivated me to retry quite a few puzzles in my partially solved list. Glad to know that I'm not alone. :)#13: Bionerd (nieboo) on Nov 28, 2007
Me too!!#14: Nancy Snyder (naneki) on Dec 2, 2007
nieboo your suppose to say me 3#15: Bionerd (nieboo) on Dec 2, 2007
Oh, my bad.#16: Timo Frenay (timo) on Jan 4, 2008
Me too +1!!
Thanks for the little bit of education. :) Being a beginner at these puzzles it's nice to learn tricks like this.#17: Johanna Bousfield (lucy) on Feb 18, 2008
I had to use the hints, but I finally get it! This will help with all of the unfinished puzzles that I have waiting for me, I'm sure. Cheers.#18: Scylla Kat (scyllacat) on Feb 21, 2008
I like Two hats being regurgitated after the Alien ate the wearers. But I'm odd that way.#19: Gypso (Gypso) on Feb 21, 2008
You have GOT to make us a puzzle Scylla Kat. :o#20: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Sep 18, 2008 [HINT]

Even though this puzzle is only a 10x11, I feel so good now that I solved it! What an eye-opener it was, to realize there are always new methods to discover. Thanks Jan!#27: Diana W (aeris) on Feb 3, 2011
I enjoyed this. Nice logic exercise. :)#28: Maor R. (mr713) on Apr 12, 2011
I mannaged to solve this after looking into the hints. after that it was easy. but hey, i learned something, and that's good.#29: Lilly Johns (LJohns315) on Jun 23, 2011
Very fun to figure out the logic.#30: Bill (PopPop) on Aug 20, 2019
As soon as I looked at this puzzle, I could tell that it was one of Jan's. :)#31: JoDeen Mozena (ozymoe) on Aug 30, 2021
