Hmm...I'm stuck except for some pieces on the edges. Any tips?

When he posted that forum # 104, he was asking for puzzles like these that require massive guessing. He got one.

It's very symmetrical..once you get the pattern going it's very easy :)

Adam it does not require guessing.

Puzzle that require guessing say sow after the titel.

Besides no guessing required was on of the conditions.

use color logic and work from the corners to the middle. Thats the best hint I can give.

Thanks for the challenge. The symmetry involved means you only need to really solve 1/4 of the puzzle. That said, that was a fairly difficult 10x10 block to solve.

Eh, I didn't like it. I didn't feel like going through the logic just to find a pattern. I guess I'm just in a mood. Sorry.

ive been trying to get it started but no luck.. i guess im going to have to print this out and think it out.

bionerd that okay, i don't like it that much my self

Sorry Rea, I'm usually quite positive on all puzzles, I think I was in a mood yesterday.
Don't listen to me.

I know about moods dont worry about it

I'm generally not crazy about pattern puzzles, but it was interesting to try to find a logical way to solve this. Question, though... is it possible to solve it without knowing it's symmetrical? I got stuck and finally just had to decide that half the clues in any given row belong to half the puzzle and no more and the other half belong to the other half (if that makes sense). Then I was able to work it out.

I agree with Bionerd (#7)

I was able to do it without guessing and without assuming the solution was symmetrical. So the solution is really unique.

I liked it. I used color logic and didn't consider the symmetry. It was quite a struggle, but that's exactly what I expected it to be. So thank you Rea :)

you welcome Merili. Im glad someone likes it

Not a terrible puzzle, it became very tedious solving through logic though. Intuition based on the color patterns worked better for me.

boring

I enjoyed solving, and it didn't take me long at all. I guess I just think in patterns. :)

Not logical at all - intuitive, yes, but not logical.

These kinds of puzzle are not fun for me so I didn't even try it. Thanks anyway for the effort.

The pleasure in this was not the emergence of the pattern, but the logic involved in trying to solve it. Also, it made me stop and think about symmetry. I tried to avoid using symmetry to solve it, and it is still solvable. I have to admit that I checked avoiding using symmetry in a few places and then used it to finish it off. Very interesting. Glad it was not a 60x60.

Didn't do. Really dislike this type of one-dot-at-a-time puzzle.
