Thank goodness for the white space! Based on her other titles and descriptions, I think this title really is "porcupine" but misspelled as "stripes." LOL

After solving, I went back and cleared the screen, and clicked on helper to see how much the computer could solve. It left off 1 or 2 squares of each long row/column of the blacks and reds (and all the blues and greens, too). This stage of the puzzle actually looked sorta interesting with most of the red and black solved, leaving a large white X.

Found to require some guessing by Gator.

I can only use the helper button on puzzles that I create. For all other puzzles, there is no helper button. So how come you get a helper button, Adam? Special powers left over from being a WC judge? I'm jealous. :-)

Does that mean the judges don't have to solve the puzzles they judge? Does that mean the puzzles are judged by their image and not by how fun they are to solve? Hmmmm. Just wondering.

Teresa, after you solve any puzzle, and if you go back into the puzzle (which is what I mentioned in #1) after having solved it, you will have a helper button too! Everyone can! There is no discrimination! Elf can have one, too!

LOL

i think the design made by distribution of the clue numbers themselves actually looks pretty cool

Multiple solutions puzzles aren't PBN puzzles.
