and I call it WOT#2: Stephanie T (laalbacoronada) on Dec 23, 2008 [HINT]
i had to do a LOT of guessing. ick#3: Matie (reanimatie) on Dec 23, 2008
It's nice to see some hard puzzles now and then but that was a doozy!#4: Eric Francis (airdrik) on Dec 23, 2008 [SPOILER]
If you look at it at a distance, it looks like some sinister man with a large noze, pointy chin and dark inset eyes#5: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Dec 23, 2008
No guessing required. There was always 1 step that kept me going. I wish I hadn't found it each time, because the end result was very disappointing. Fun as far as challenging goes, but definitely a WOT.#6: Jan Wolter (jan) on Dec 23, 2008
Totally logically solvable, and quite fun to solve, but it's a disappointment not to find a picture in the end. But if the solving is fun, then I wouldn't call it a waste of time.#7: Levi Ross (rhodyboy888) on Dec 23, 2008 [HINT]
Frankly, I amazed that anyone here has the nerve to call anything a "waste of time." Glass houses folks. Certainly you didn't come to this web site hoping to do something productive?
I would not call this "art". Of course, art is a matter of opinion. I do call it a fun and challenging puzzle to solve though. Nice job!#8: Twillis (twillis) on Dec 28, 2008
I agree that "waste of time" comments are very silly, and agree that if the solving is fun it's an OK puzzle.#9: Baklegakk (Baklegakk) on Jan 5, 2009
This one was quite challenging, I've had to sit and let it "percolate" a few times.
Good puzzle. As the author says, he call it art.#10: Eric Francis (airdrik) on Jan 6, 2009
"Waste of time" comments are rather ironic because they are a waste of time, in and of themselves.#11: Rea Aksglæde Karlsen (Rea) on May 27, 2009 [SPOILER]
Someone felt that they wasted time solving a puzzle, so they go and waste some more time writing a post proclaiming to the world that they wasted their time solving a challenging puzzle.
Not all puzzles here are here because they make nice artwork. In fact, I've used a couple of different PBN puzzle generators, and none of them is really challanging compared to the puzzles you get here.
ditto #7#12: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Mar 16, 2010
this on was fun to solve but disapointing "image"
had to do some edge logic on left side#13: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Aug 22, 2010 [SPOILER]
wish there was a picture reward at end :-(
Tom, this is a picture of Arthur "Art" Deer after meeting up rather suddenly with a British SUV. (That's the British-style license tag flying off upper left.)#14: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Aug 22, 2010 [SPOILER]
Don't know if that counts as a "reward", tho.
you can never fix that rack again :(#15: Byrdie (byrdie) on Dec 13, 2010 [HINT] [SPOILER]
As a puzzle this was a really good challenge. I was able to solve completely with logic alone - no guessing - but it took some time.#16: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Aug 15, 2011 [SPOILER]
As far as art goes, I would call it crap but someone would get offended and I'd have to defend myself and it would go on and on ... so I won't.
I wouldn't call this a WOT, because it was a fun and challenging solve. It ends up with a bit of a rorschach design (I see a giraffe or something standing in front of a waterhole), and yes, a more definite image would be better, but it was still fun.#17: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Jul 12, 2014
Unfun.#18: Michael Eddy (meddy) on Jan 14, 2020
I didn't mind it. Thought it was fun and challenging.#19: Eric (kelalatir) on Apr 16, 2020 [SPOILER]
TIL that WOT means Waste of Time - I previously thought it was Wall of Text - but I now understand why there is confusion between the two. I consider this puzzle neither.
For my part, when I take the Rorschach test and look at this picture, I see a giant rat that just spray painted some random letters and numbers as graffiti on a wall.
