Puzzle Description:
Derpy close-up of a llama's face
#1: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Nov 9, 2019 [SPOILER]
There is a delightful new children's book, called Llama Destroys the World, and the titular llama (inexplicably) says "Dat!" throughout. I was going to call the puzzle "Derp", but I didn't want it to be obvious early-on that it would be a goofy face.#2: Jota (jota) on Nov 9, 2019
Extraordinary! EL R19 (7) Smile logic to finish!#3: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Nov 9, 2019 [SPOILER]
Worst rating ever ... (
Maybe he reminds them (the raters) too much of Jar Jar, or an Ewok. Who knows? ;)#4: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Nov 9, 2019
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.#5: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Nov 9, 2019 [HINT]

After LL
extended edge logic on the left 3 r17: if it were in c8-10 then it would force two blocks in r19, so r17c10 must be white.
LL
Then smile logic to finish
Fun solve!#7: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Nov 11, 2019 [HINT]

- whether C7R17 or C8R17 is black, C7R18 is a dot
Awesome puzzle to solve Kristen, very fun, and cute Llama too! :D Love it!#9: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Nov 13, 2019
Oh my goodness, while I was solving it I was sure that it was a lady with a lot of makeup -- until the very end, when it wasn't.#10: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Nov 13, 2019
My kids taught me to use the word "derp." Then later on they told me that only little kids say "derp" and that I should stop. :-S
Anyway, it made me happy to know that I'm not the only person who is derpy enough to use the word derpy. :)#11: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Nov 13, 2019
I literally just derped at my daughter less than five minutes ago. But then she grew up with "derp" and "woot" and such. We're stuck in a time bubble as we're now all "old" (-- she's 33 :P ).#12: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Nov 13, 2019
It is *totally* uncool for parents to say "derp". (And obviously, I was a child of the 80s, like, totally.)#13: JoDeen Mozena (ozymoe) on Nov 14, 2019 [SPOILER]
Although I've used "true dat" occasionally, I have never heard of "derp."#14: Jane Butcher (jane-o) on Nov 14, 2019 [SPOILER]
Sooooo...if I think what someone is saying is meaningless, do I roll my eyes and say, "Derp, derp, derp..." at them? Or does one just offhandedly offer a single "derp" to effectively communicate disdain? lol
Nice llama and fun puzzle, Kristen!
It looks like Quasimoto from The Hunchback of Notre Dame from the black and white movie version.#15: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Nov 14, 2019
Llamas do pretty much look like that though. Thanks for teaching me something new.
The way we use "derp" is as an interjection, meaning somewhere between "D'oh!" and "I've had a brain fart." It can also be used as a noun meaning someone who derps a lot.#16: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Nov 18, 2019
There is also the reduplicative "herp, derp" for when you're really derping.
derp derply derped a derpious derpiment#17: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Nov 18, 2019
