Puzzle Description:

Distelfink! What a strange name for such a wonderful bird. Distelfink literally means "thistlefinch," the European name for the goldfinch. Representing happiness and good fortune, it's a common symbol in the Hex Signs that decorate barns in the Pennsylvania Dutch countryside.

Really great image, and nice, challenging solve.

We have a "Daddy Hex" on our apartment's front door; we got it on a trip to Pennsylvania.

This was a difficult one for me. Earlier in the solving, I thought to myself, "This had better be good, because it's a lot of work." I was not disappointed. Wow! The image is so lovely, and the bird appeared at the very end. A very rewarding puzzle experience.

Why this is only rated a 3.5 for quality is a mystery to me. It's perfect.

What a truly delightful image!! It was great fun to solve and yet was not overly difficult for the amount of detail. Usually I get very frustrated with this much detail but this one was a lot of fun! Thanks for the tremendous work involved to design this.

Maravillosa imagen. Para mí una de las más bonitas de la página. Un 5 para la calidad.
