Funny - not at all what I expected!#2: Petra Lassen (stjarna) on Jan 11, 2009
I've never seen anything like it here! Well done!#3: vindersloon (vindersloon) on Jan 11, 2009 [SPOILER]
never seen a chicken sell balloons :-) But why don't the balloons have a shadow?#4: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Jan 11, 2009
That is what I noticed, also, Vindersloon. My "excuse" (or reason) for noticing the shadow issue is being an artist, what's yours?#5: Minnie Fuerstnau (m.fuerstnau) on Jan 12, 2009
Cute and fun to do- thank you!#6: Jan Wolter (jan) on Jan 14, 2009 [HINT] [SPOILER]
Oh, excellent!#7: Teresa K (fasstar) on Jan 15, 2009
This is logically solvable. Color logic gets you all the red, blue and green pixels. Then you might need edge logic on the 8 in row 20, or you might dispense with it. It gets tricky again near the end, when there are only a dozen or so cells left to do, but I found a lone blank cell under the balloons that I could prove could not be black, and that made the rest solve.
So, it's quite difficult, but do-able. And what a funny/cute picture.
Thanks.
That was a really cute and challenging puzzle. Thanks.#8: Sofia Bergendal (haesselmaas) on Mar 2, 2009
Cute! I liked how you made the shadow. It created a kind of 3D effect. Nice!#9: Synthia McBride (synthia) on Aug 5, 2011 [SPOILER]
The balloons don't have a shadow because the are magic balloons. What other kind of balloons would a chick be selling?#10: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Sep 15, 2020 [SPOILER]
Q. Why did the chicken cross the road?
A. I don't know why he crossed the road, but I know how.
He floated across.
