Pro: it's a cool pattern, that was simple to guess

Con: There are thousands (if not millions) of possible solutions

i made it to have a lot of solutions.

Found to require lots of guessing by infrapinklizzard.

You can place 5 of the green pixels.

If you then guess that the green makes a grid (which it doesn't have to), and then further guess that the black in those rows fill in those grids (which it doesn't have to)...

Then you end up with 25 squares of 3x3. If you now even further guess that the 1s are evenly distributed (which they don't have to be) then in each square there are 6 possible combinations, or 6^25 = 28,430,288,030,000,000,000 solutions within those constraints.

There are many more than that in reality.

Bleah.
