I can't wait for Harris Harris to comment on this one. :-)

Beautiful pattern. Requires guessing but is easy because of predictable pattern.

Found to have multiple solutions by jan.

This is a variation on the "big X" puzzle that causes nightmares for puzzle solving programs. pbnsolve needed six whole seconds to decide it had multiple solutions (it's normally limited to one second on this site).

I thought for a second someone had created a login name of Web Paint-By-Number Robot, and I thought, isn't that the truth! But I remember you mentioning trying to find a way to mark these in the comments with tags like this, Jan.

The main point shouldn't be to post "more difficult" puzzles, but to post real PBN puzzles. Multiple solutions attempts cannot be considered PBN puzzles.

Ref #1: A Harris Harris' comment hasn´t been posted yet, maybe he is tired of posting comments about these multiple solutions nonsense puzzles. As far as I'm concerned, I'll keep making comments on them, maybe one day their authors will undertand the real concept and objective of PBN puzzles.
