Another mindless blob of bunk. Who are the sad people rating this above 1?

I am so sorry.

I thought it, (the title and image) is like tuna special in cafeteria lunches...something you just never want to try.

LOL, Telly!

my head hurts

Great puzzle!!! Really enjoyed solving it!! Keep them coming!!

Never mind.

Wrong age group?

I think the children on this site like "colors" but they don't understand artistic skill and beauty.

Some don't as well as some adults ... wish there was a code for those puzzles so I could stay AWAY.

Thanks for understanding y apoyándome en lo que pienso también.

100% Monkeyboy, I likee the way you place your accents, very neat.

??? They go where they are supposed to go. LOL

Exactly where they are supposed to go.

Yes, I am fluent in Spanish and I majored in it in college. I am a "master" of Spanish phonetics and grammar. LOL

WOW! Increíble! Felicitaciones.

Muchas gracias, mi amiga.

I'm going to have to say that was a complete and utter waste of time. Sorry.

I enjoy puzzles like this. They are completely solvable with logic, and you can't rely on recognizing the image to help you guess. Most of the time when I know what I'm supposed to be making, it becomes less of a puzzle and more mindlessly filling in pixels.

I totally agree.It's fun solving because you can only use logic.

Found to be logically solvable by jan.

that was cool. great pratice. i agree with #20. love the logic thinking

I see this puzzle has more comments than many. :) I think it shows a different kind of talent--not the picture kind, but the kind where you make people think. And that is why I come here--to exercise my mind. I only do puzzles about this size and I found it very difficult. I admit I cheated. Looked at the solution, erased all the areas I had wrong (not just the pixel but the whole area) and started again from there. I did, in the end, solve it with logic and maybe a guess or two that worked out.

When a "picture" is undefinable, especially when there is no description or explanation by the author, it indicates a laziness by the author, or a disregard for the solver on the part of the author. A random but unique pattern is a waste of time. The permutations are astronomically high on a 5 color, 400 pixel puzzle. Even the people who seem to like this aren't sure of what it is supposed to be (comment #2 -- "or something"). Seeing a picture is the reward for solving, not seeing an "image" and thinking "Oh, so that is the unidentifiable group of colored squares the author worked so hard to get just right". Part of the fun is recognizing an image with just a few pixels (oh, how wonderful the human mind is at recognizing patterns with a minimal amount of clues!!), which is why personally I prefer small puzzles that can convey an idea or a scene, rather than larger, more "life-like" ones. The mind gets exercised with an image or without. Most guesses are not true random guesses, there is some logic or intuitive venture at work. If I just wanted to work the brain, I'd calculate pi in my head -- meaningless exercise with no real reward, as some have suggested that this type of puzzle gives.

Interesting thought.

ditto Edith. ;D gizzard

Un puzzle difícil, que hay que hacer con mucho cuidado, pero que se resuelve con lógica.

Lástima que no represente nada.

De acuerdo Julio!

Very frustrating to work so hard to finish nothing.

Controversial puzzle. I am with the group that enjoyed it because it was challenging and logically solveable. I wonder if Gabriel ever came back to do another puzzle after these comments. I don’t think I would stay on the site if if I was solving puzzles only for the quality of the image. It’s more important to me to have a challenging solve. Thanks Gabriel.

I like all kinds of puzzles. I am one of the solvers that is a stickler for using logic, never guessing or filling in pixels because the "image" dictates it. I'll admit I super love a great image at the end of my logic work...but on the other hand, solving a "random pixel" puzzle correctly, using only pure logic, gives me a real sense of satisfaction too.

I'm happy to finish--even though from early on it obviously wasn't going to turn into an image, I couldn't leave it alone, or it couldn't leave me alone. When there's no image, it can hard to know that I'm using logic properly. I could use wrong thinking but accidentally get it right.

Nice puzzle. I don't know what it's supposed to be since I don't want to see the titles, but it is very colorful and was challenging!
