Then you''l have to have multiple solutions!#2: CB Paul (cbpaul) on Oct 18, 2016
Actually, I figured out the diagonal line before I figured out what turned out to be the two faces. I drew it up-left instead of up-right; as you say, it would have been logically correct either way.#3: Teresa K (fasstar) on Oct 18, 2016
Interesting. I could tell what the two solutions would be, and first chose the "right" path to happy. :-)#4: Donna McFarland (jade8114) on Oct 19, 2016
OK#5: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Oct 19, 2016
This defeats the point of creating a picture with a unique, logical solution. It's no fun to guess, and hope the solution you choose is the one the author intended.#6: Randall Childs (rchilds) on Oct 21, 2016
Kristen, I also love puzzles with unique logical solutions. Maybe mine would work a little better if I titled it "Choose your mood?" If there was a way for me to give people the "victory message" for both solutions, I would.#7: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Dec 4, 2016
Found to require some guessing by infrapinklizzard.#8: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Dec 4, 2016
I made one puzzle with multiple solutions to make a point: 10396

Even if you make the picture unambiguous about which to choose, the player will still have to guess whether to trust you or not.
