No, I don't think so. The title was "Random Gibberish" on purpose, for a reason. How anyone can rate a puzzle with this title more than a "1" is beyond me. At least you can maybe justify it on other puzzles with a creative title that end up as nothing, but when the puzzle is random gibberish and the title literally states that, anything above a zero on quality is unwarranted.

I think it's beautiful, and it was fun to solve; the randomness makes it not a predictable pattern. Actually, I think it looks the pattern on a colorful, winter knit ski hat! Thanks for a fun puzzle!

i have changed it since the first two comments just adding an extra line or two... but fully disagree with adam. (sorry adam no offence but just cos a puzzle is called random gibberish and the end picture is a nice pattern type thing does not mean that the quality should be a 0).

thank you Tonia for your comment.

I rather liked this one. It was fun to solve, and I thought the final image was interesting. Made me think of a close up on a Native American woven blanket.

I don't think "Random Gibberish" is an apt title for this particular puzzle.

Now you have moved up to earning a "1" on quality, since the title is at least better than it was before.

I agree. Random gibberish. No imagination.

Moved along at a decent clip, had enough challenge to be fun, and a pretty (if abstract) result.

I've seen many a comment by veteran puzzle creators on this site complaining about people (usually people who only solve and don't create puzzles, and are therefore looked down on) who rate puzzles solely on the image and not on how fun, interesting, or thought provoking they are to solve. Not that this was difficult, but I thought it was interesting. I find most "pattern puzzles incredibly boring because they are very repetitive and predictable. That is NOT a complaint - when I recognize one, I usually just skip it. I make that observation just to show by contrast that this puzzle was definitely worth solving, even if the image is a bit, well, random.

Yes, random image, but an interesting solve.
