Puzzle Description:

It's Schrödinger's cat. ... and she went to the groomers' especially for this portrait.

I love this. I knew what it was from the title, but I thought it was particularly well executed (hee...executed...poor little kitty paw prints).

Ironic that this puzzle was done by Kit E. Katz.

My son has a t-shirt from thinkgeek that says on the front, "Schrödinger's cat is dead" and on the back, "Schrödinger's cat is not dead." :D

guess i was sick the day they taught that in school

Fun! Nice solve.

I'm with you bugaboo - I have no idea what they are talking about. Great puzzle anyway

For those unfamiliar with Schrödinger's cat, a short explanation can be found here: http://www.mtnmath.com/faq/meas-qm-3.html

thx for entry Kit...when i went to school we learned that cats meow, drink milk, hunt for mice & birds,,,thats about it :)

No Quantum Physics for Mew?

Thanks for a creative entry!

you judge you ;)

LOL

Lizteach - I have that t-shirt too. I inevitably end up having to explain it whenever I wear it.

An interesting interpretation and solve. It's up to the judges but I would say, strictly speaking, it doesn't meet the requirement of a blue square.

Ditto #1, except that I have merely coveted the T-shirt :)

:-D @ Liz "well executed"

Fun puzzle.

I do see a blue square - the big one bottom left. Although it is filled in with a combination of blue and white, there is a blue square there.

There are literally hundreds of blue squares: 2x2, 3x3, 4x4... :)

I have the t-shirt as well.

Amusingly enough, my dad's dog got ahold of it before he could give it to me, so when I received it, the "is alive" side had the collar torn up. He offered to replace it, but I thought the particular damage was amusing enough to keep it that way.

:-D
