Puzzle Description:

Uranium, with 92 electrons (and protons, which are densely packed into the nucleus. You'll have to take my word on this).

The elements start to get a bit unwieldy, with larger atomic numbers. Uranium has 7 bands of electrons: from the inside out, the bands contain 2, 8, 18, 32, 21, 9, and 2 electrons. Each one is green. I counted a bunch of times, to make sure I had the correct number in each band. :)

I found this quite a challenge to solve, with a gratifying image and interesting narrative as a reward. Thanks, Kristen.

I went back and shifted a few electrons, and thickened a few bands. The checker *says* it's solvable, so I hoped it wouldn't be TOO bad. :)

What? No smile to finish?

I'm sure there's an instance of smile logic in there, somewhere. :)

And I didn't want to make the image even BIGGER. :)

OMG, that was crazy to solve. Now let's have Neptunium!

You couldn't wait for Squish to get thru 88 more to get to this one? Thunder stealer! :)

I know. I'm so ashamed. ;)

Muy original. Me ha gustado.

Line and color solvable, but grueling. And started to hurt my brain when I looked at the whole puzzle after about 2/3 through. Still kinda fun to solve.

I got a big smile on my face when I started solving this thinking this would be an orbital diagram of an atom. 3rd band has 20 instead of 18 though. I'm not sure if that is a result of the shifting of electrons, but all of the other bands are accurate.

Great solve!

Drat! Well, I'm not changing it now! :)

solvable. needs a lot of patience. nice.
