Puzzle Description:

An easy 911 pattern. Well I call it "easy" but Jan's checker calls it "boring."

911. *dies* And here I was wondering What the HECK?

I should probably explain for people in countries that don't use 911. That is the phone number to call in an emergency. It's called the "universal emergency tellephone number" but I discoverend it's universal only in the United States and Canada. Every country has their own system, as you can see if you look up 911 Emergency on Wikipedia.

I just experimented to see what a 911 pattern would look like. Not urgent at all, rather calm after all the chaotic patterns.

Petra, what does *dies* mean?

Here we have 112 (mouth nose eyes)

We also have 112

Us too. But then again I think m2 and I are both from the same country. And I think most of us, if not all, know it's 911 in the US.

What I meant with dies was that I was embarrased I hadn't seen the 911, which became very obvious once I knew what I was looking for!

I was wondering what the heck you were thinking, Teresa!

Who are you, and why are you using Teresa's name??? LOL We all know you don't do color puzzles!!! :-)

LOL Adam. That was such a BORING puzzle, I just had to color it up a little. Have I gone on a bit too much about how I love B&W? Oops.

No, not at all. But I like that you are the way you are.
:-)

Interesting idea for a theme but once all the "white" spaces are solved the rest of the solution is just filling in color.

My apologies to everyone who thought it was too boring. Thank you for not calling it a WOT. To make it a wee bit more interesting, I'm giving it a new description:

It's my design for an emergency medical alert device, combining a monitor and walkie talkie to be worn by vulnerable people like the elderly or disabled. Vulnerable adults may have difficulty using a cell phone, or may lose it or forget to recharge it. This defice is always on, autorecharges, and is worn on the wrist. It has GPS capability to act as a tracker, and can relay vital signs to a remote system. Cool, huh?

LOL!

And you have to solve the puzzle before it will contact the ambulance.

No, wait, that might be a bad idea.

But designing puzzle to have particular number patterns in a clue is an interesting challenge. Maybe we could do a WC where the goal is to make the best possible puzzle where one of the clues is "5 4 3 2 1".

Sorry Theresa but I think you had a bad day!
Jan's idea is interesting, let's see if the WC man picks it.

Ditto #14
