Puzzle Description:

A straight on look at a dead bolt lock on my door. (couldn't show the worn brass and scratches by the key hole) :)

Hmm well it looks like this one is going to have to be one that has a tad bit of guessing...but then it is fairly symmetrical so not too much of a guess.

I agree, not necessarily "logically" apparent, but when you look at the number placement, it logically makes sense where to put some of the larger groupings. Thanks geekess.

totally solvable by logic alone...but it takes some edge logic to get it.
#4: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Jan 12, 2009 [HINT]
I had to use edge logic on the 8's to get the outer circle, and then on the 3's and 6's to get the inner circle. No guessing required.

totally agree with #3 and #4 no guessing but alot of edge logic

I couldn't get it with edge logic-- had to go to symmetry. But it looks like critical mass has been reached. It's not giving me the option to vote on solvability.

It looks like an eye staring at me.

Thanks for your entry Jen.

Agree with edge logic comments. Lots of edge logic.

Clever picture! I confess, though, that I was stumped until I read the coments about symmetry; then it all fell into place quite logically - no guessing at all!

Puzzle has been changed and is now solvable with edge logic, or symmetry.
