Puzzle Description:

Classic Rock Paper Scissor

#1: Robert Kummerfeldt (rmkummerfeldt) on Jul 16, 2007 [SPOILER]

OK - there has to be a correct solution, but I haven't found it yet. I've gotton 4 different incorrect solutions for the rock - I would think one has to be the right one.

Robert I made a change to the Rock it as only one solution now (and by adding the blue every element of the puzzle as 2 coulors)
#3: Robert Kummerfeldt (rmkummerfeldt) on Jul 16, 2007
That explains it - I reloaded the puzzle, and it definitely has a unique solution now.

I liked those scissors and they were tricky to do as well :)

Nice idea. The scissors are a real stand out. Thanks Sylvain.

Clever!

The puzzle is not so bad if you start with a presumption of symetry, which I'm not sure is a good presumption. I got jammed logically, and solved the scissors as if they had to be symetrical (although the rock wasn't), which they were. However, it isn't a thing I'd want to have to guess at on a much larger grid. I thought maybe I was tired, and so ran it by the computer, but it also got stuck trying only logic -- what else can the computer use?

Had a tough time with the scissors, but finally figured it out using my brain... Nice job.

The top of the scissors can be solved by filling in one square at a time. Diagonal lines are most often very difficult to solve.

love that game!

Huh. I'm not a great solver, but I had little trouble with it. I filled in the vertical 15s, then a few more obvious columns, then worked from left to right and just marched right along.
Of course I had no idea what it was until I was told, but it looked kinda like the word SEX (with the S censored). So is this response a hint, a spoiler or both?
Great puzz, if I forgot to mention it!

Bill your comment, to me, is a hint because it gives clues to solving the puzzle.

The rest of your comment says what the image is *not, but does not give away what the image *is so I wouldn't necessarily classify it as a spoiler. I'm sure that's up for debate, however.
