Puzzle Description:

Pretty easy puzzle, go USA!!

Enough with the damned American flags, already!!

Jan, any chance you can amend the descriptions of these to warn us we're about to see an image we've already seen a few hundred times?

This is an American Flag you say?

Bit of a stretch, if you ask me.

But seriously, the minute you saw the grid, didn't you know what it was? Nobody made you solve the danged thing.

Personally, I'm freshly astonished by each new interpretation of the stars and stripes. Some have been quite hallucinogenic. Anyway, I posted the first one myself, so I'm in no position to complain.

Jan is right. I just like to tease the poor quality ones.

Jan, of course, it was obvious what it was going to be. But isn't "solving" it the only way to get it off the list of unsolved puzzles, and make it go away once and for all?

This IS one of the worst I've seen. Adam, if you like to tease the poor quality ones, you should actually tease this one instead of just saying that's what you do, because this one is really bad.

I don't agree that the mocking should be saved for just the bad ones. With so many out there now, they are NOT original OR unique, so every new one that pretends to be either of those things is deserving of criticism.

perhaps this is an interpretation of the 1837 US flag, which added Michigan as the 26th star. If Deanna is from Michigan maybe she is just showing some state pride? haha

Tom, did you know you can mark a puzzle as solved (without having to solve it) and it will go away from your list?

That features is a little hidden, but on any of the screens that show a list of puzzles, there is a menu that pops up if you hover a mouse over the puzzle name. One option on that menu is to rate puzzles. This is kind of designed for people who print out puzzles to solve them on paper, so not only can you rate the puzzle from that page, but you can mark it as having been solved.

#6 - I do this for all multiple solution puzzles as I refused to "solve" a puzzle that cannot be logically solved.

For those wanting to know how to do this - mouseover the puzzle name, click Rate Puzzle, click Mark this puzzle as completed, Submit, and it will be gone from the list of new puzzles.

Adam, no, I didn't.

And Jan and Gator, thanks for showing me how to do it. I generally don't rate the puzzles, and if I were to do so, it would be from the puzzle screen itself, not from a menu of puzzle names, so I would probably have never found that.

I followed Gator's example by testing it on a puzzle with a high difficulty rating, requiring massive guessing. With a few thousand puzzles not yet done, and always working from the easiest, in order to get through more of them, I would never have gotten to that one anyway, so it was well worth sacrificing that one.

Thank you all.

It's a spandex flag.
