I'm not reading any of the hints or spoilers...yet. I've been chewing on this puzzle off and on for quite awhile now. I'd say it is 97% solved, which was done by logic alone. I now have only his left hand (on the right side of the puzzle) to do.

It seems at this point I'll have to try some edge logic. It would be very simple to solve this with guessing, but I am a purist and must solve it using logic, even if I am finally reduced to some "trial and error" elimination solving.

...more later...lol

OK...I did it! ...and I did have to finally use the "trial and error" technique for his left hand, sigh.

Great puzzle! Great fun! Great satisfaction! Thanks, Adam!
#14: Adam Nielson (monkey) on Jun 30, 2008
Well, you are one of the last remaining purist puzzle solvers. I appreciate your effort.
#15: Diana Reese (Diana60) on Jul 2, 2008 [SPOILER]
I loved it. Easy to do, except the hands.
#16: Adam Nielson (monkey) on Jul 2, 2008 [SPOILER]
Thanks. I agree about the hands, especially the L one.
#17: Arduinna (arduinna) on Jul 4, 2008
Count me among the purists!
#18: Adam Nielson (monkey) on Jul 4, 2008
Good to know... I will remember that. :-)
#19: Deana L (ffswife) on Jul 4, 2008
*raises hand* Me too... I hate guessing puzzles (tho I don't mind Nancy's usually because the guessing is USUALLY obvious...).
#20: Gypso (Gypso) on Jul 4, 2008 [SPOILER]
Very nice representation DB! The left hand (right side) stumped me too. I was feeling impatient though and peeked for some help.

Lots of fun Adam. Thank you! :-)
#21: Adam Nielson (monkey) on Jul 4, 2008
Thanks. BTW, I never asked, where did the name GYPSO come from?
#22: Gypso (Gypso) on Jul 4, 2008
Adam, I forget now which topic I explained the story behind my name now. So the easy version is that Gypso is short for Gypsophelia (aka: Gypsophila) which is a flower commonly known as Baby's Breath. My Mom nicknamed me. :-)
#23: Jane Doe (telly) on Jul 4, 2008
Oh, I like baby's breath! I like the nickname.
#24: Adam Nielson (monkey) on Jul 4, 2008
Ahhhh, I see now. Thanks for the update.
#25: Gypso (Gypso) on Jul 5, 2008
Thank you Telly. :-)
My pleasure Adam!
#26: Nancy Snyder (naneki) on Jul 11, 2008
thank you Deana :)
#27: Jota (Jota) on Dec 3, 2008
Enjoyed the puzzle, a bit hard on the hands (mine)
Love the story behind Gypso.
