Puzzle Description:

Tons of garbage was left behind after the festival. I know this is pretty hard to see but it's a six pack plastic ring with two pull tabs laying on the grass.

Carol: 4 hours till closing. I'm not sure where to go next, but I'm stuck.
I don't want to mark it as needing guessing if I'm not sure. Cn you help me. I've completed all the black and have what looks like 6 to be green oval forms.

Aha! Very challenging but satisfying solve, Carol. Recognizable once I read the description.

Found to be logically solvable by Gator.

Thanks, Gator for the logic explanation and thanks, Michelle and Teresa!

I'm surprised no one said anything about the pull tabs. They were so convenient (no more can openers) but so dangerous and environmentally unfriendly. My friends and I used to open the can and put the tab in the can right away and then make sure we didn't drink it! People used to make jewelry, curtains, etc. out of them too!

I agree with Michelle...this really was a fun contest. I also enjoyed revisiting the era. I was fourteen and asked my parents to take me...I received a firm NO.

I had to follow Gator's hints to be able to solve it. Nice!

I'm glad you were able to solve it, Jota! Thanks!
