i dont have a clue what this puzzle is (it looked like colored sperm fighting over an egg haha)
but it was fun to solve (as are most of your puzzles)
i started with color logic on the red then ended up with the green diagonal part in the center
i am still not sure on the solvability of "diagonal logic"
but you can see it will be a diagonal
normally you cant tell which way it will go but in order to get 1 green pixel under the red in column 8 it has to go top left to bottom right which i call "visual color logic" haha

I already know what the image is without solving. =D Looks like guessing is required, I'll look at it another time.

Found to be logically solvable by Gator.

Nice one Brian!
#12: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Feb 18, 2011
Thank you Jota. Did you watch the show?
#13: Jota (jota) on Feb 18, 2011
I did, I was impressed by the odd choices Watson had to pick from once in a while.
#14: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Feb 18, 2011
I really thought he would make more wild mistakes. I was at least hoping for a close game.

Part 2 is a related video. This is Day 3 of 3, the second and final game. They wanted to talk about Watson a bit so played Game 1 over two days.

Thanks for the link Bryan. It was great to watch!

What a fun puzzle! I thought it was very well designed. The logic was tricky but not frustrating, and the image was a nice reward. Clever title/description. Great job, Brian.

Thank you Teresa
