Puzzle Description:

Banjo Players are the butt of dumb jokes

This is one of poorest puzzles I've ever seen...
...and it's not a banjo but a Russian instrument named balalajcha... :)

Dueling banjos - Great Tune :)

Simple, but nice.
(Ignore, Thomas. He can be really rude.)

Well, I'm rude. But banjo hasn't got a hole but a drum surface on it and its neck is thinner and longer.
Ergo: it can't be a banjo. :) Q.E.D.
This puzzle is poor cause it contains too much large nzumbers and very simple and boring. Q.E.D.

I think it is OK.

As someone who creates a fair share of poor puzzles, I thought the reverse image was clever.

Banjo players are the butt of dumb jokes?...I kind of disagree with you, Dan. Every person I know who plays a banjo is amazing!

Here's a (really long) link lol.

Are banjo players really joked about? How sad, if true. A good banjo player can mesmerize me.

I think they are laughing at themselves. Remeber "Pickin' and a grinin' " on Hee Haw?

The banjo is a wonderful instrument as is the accordion. I don't think banjo players are the butt of any jokes despite the dueling banjo scene in Deliverence.:)

ever heard Steve Martin

I like the puzzle and thanks for the link Norma. I had
no idea that Steve Martin could play like that!

I think it's a cool puzzle

Don't balalaikas have a more triangular base?

Like most of the other commenters, I find a good banjo player mesmerizing. "Dueling Banjos" has gotten a bad rap, because of its association with the movie Deliverance, but it's an impressive tune.
