If you wanted to make a simple quick puzzle, you're successful. I think everyone prefers more mystery, and more puzzle. This was a fill in the blank.#6: Byrdie (byrdie) on Feb 7, 2009 [HINT]

No, I completely agree. I went back and read the comments, and some were positive and some were negative. It's always constructive to solve the puzzle yourself before publishing, to make sure it's not too easy or too hard. I've made quite a few puzzles that the solver *said* was completely solvable with logic alone, but when I tried to solve it myself I found it ridiculously hard. I almost always have to go back and finesse a puzzle before I publish it. The rule of thumb is: a nice picture + a satisfying solve = a good puzzle.#12: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Feb 13, 2019
I can think of very few mean comments left for my puzzles. As long as you make an image that represents something, then people are generally supportive.#13: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Feb 13, 2019
Oh, don't title it "bored".#14: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Feb 13, 2019
And no hearts or flags.#15: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Feb 13, 2019
A different title could have improved the reception for this puzzle. What about...
"Some like it hot"
and the description reads.
"So you better use a trivet when you bring it to the table"
