I was making a Perler Bead design and decided to use WPBN to lay out the design (should be part of the "101 uses for WPBN" :P ). Since it is also a solvable puzzle, I decided to go ahead and post it anyway. This is not a typical "Gator" puzzle, so apologies in advance if anyone is disappointed. When I get a chance, I'll post a picture of the finished product.

Here is some info on "Calico Jack":

This was an easier solve than many of your puzzles, but a nice image nonetheless and a perfect way to pass the time while I waited for my pasta water to boil. Thanks!

Ditto #2 (except for the pasta part).

So are perler beads those kits I used to get when I was a kid, where you put the plastic beads on the pegged board and then use an iron to melt them together? That's what that picture looks like, but I'm not positive.

BTW, you're one of my favorite puzzle creators, and this was a nice diversion if not as hard/complicated as your others.
#13: Gator (Gator) on Jan 18, 2010
That's exactly what they are.

There just seems to be a synergy between doing perler beads and paint-by-number.

Thanks. :)
