sorry to all the State fans out there....but the school did deserve something.

There's something wrong. I've got it about 95% solved, but now can't set a blue square anywhere. It takes dots for white ones, but no blue ones. I've saved it, closed the browser down, opened it again, and it still doesn't work. Anyone else having this problem?

I have the same problem.

Yes there is a bug. Until I fix it, hit the "Options" button and turn off a check box that tells it to skip completed colors when cycling through colors.

This affects only the cycling through colors things. You can set mouse buttons to just paint blue (I think the middle mouse button is set to that by default) or just use the numbers like Brian suggests.

I was unable to figure out what this puzzle depicts.

As I was nearly finished with this one, it stopped marking the blue squares. I had to go into my options and turn off the one where it stops scrolling through a color that I've completely solved.

I guess I'll have to do that for Blot puzzles. :(

Must have been fixed by the time I did it as I had no problems. I, too was not familiar with the logo, but agree that punishment was needed.

Clever title and really enjoyable solve. I didn't have any problems at all. I'm using Chrome.
#15: Jan Wolter (jan) on Jul 30, 2012
Hmm...The color cycling code was modified to work for blotted puzzles, but I had problems too. Odd that it works for some people and not for others.
#16: Jan Wolter (jan) on Jul 30, 2012
OK, I tried to do some debugging on this in Chrome, found it was loading an old version of the helper from cache. Nothing I did seemed to be enough to convince it flush it's stupid cache and load the new version. Until I loaded the script file directly, and did a shift-reload on it.

Really, really annoying.

See forum topic 338 for my method of forced the cache to update.

Really annoying solve with the color problem. I also had to delete strings of blue to finish then go back and fill them in without lifting the mouse button. Big problem with blot puzzles. Not much fun. . .

What are we looking at?
#21: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Oct 4, 2018
It's the team logo for the Penn State Nittany Lions.
