Puzzle Description:

vacuum gauge

Yes. We need to gauge how well our vacuum is performing.

OK Brian you got me. As I was solving I thought it was one of those games that you flip a disk or ball around. Nearing the end of the puzzle I thought of a gas gauge. Then I find out it is a vacuum gauge. Great Job again.

I had to guess a LOT. I trust you to make a puzzle with a single solution, so I marked it Deep Lookahead.

Cute picture!

Another good one Brian. :)

I challenged myself not to guess, and I got through it, very carefully. I'm so glad I stuck with it, because it was so satisfying, and watching the image pop was pretty cool.

At first I made it all B&W but I couldn't solve it so I made the bag green. It was really hard but I solved it without guessing.

My vacuum doesn't have this sort of measuring device. I can see where one would be useful.
#11: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Oct 17, 2016
That's a pretty old vacuum Brian. Is it a Kirby? :)
#12: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Oct 17, 2016
Definitely not a Roomba.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.

This puzzle doesn't suck.

Had to use 2-way. I'd call it moderate look-ahead.
Interesting solve. I like that there's not tons of fiddly 1s or brainless coloring-in.
Thank you for the puzzle.

I only rated it hard because I had to guess once. Otherwise, a quick fun solve.

Nice. I also had to guess once. I did guess what it was though.
