It's interesting to have this sort of puzzle beyond just solving the picture.

Allie, if you don't mind, I'll post my solution to save a bit of counting time. It's in ROT13, so other people won't have it spoiled.

It's not quite Gauss summing the first 100 integers almost immediately, but I hope it adds a little something. I really enjoy seeing a graphically completed puzzle with something more to work out, whether it's guess the song/movie or something to calculate.

Andrew, I like your approach. I just counted squares, and that was slow. Your method is less tedious and more elegant!

If anybody needs a rot13 converter, you can copy-and-paste Andrew's text into the website rot13.com to decrypt it.

Either way the container still needs to be washed. hee hee

Wow, I just learned something quite cool ROT13!

Thanks WebPBN yet again!

And of course thank you Andrew!
