Puzzle Description:

The White Tree of Gondor

Hmm, perhaps if you reversed the colors, making a white tree/stars and a black band (or just a solid blue background), you wouldn't have multiple solutions?

This seems simplest, especially since you're calling it the WHITE tree of Gondor :)

Nice image and a great puzzle!

After LL
EL 10 r21 places it
LL takes you up to the multiple solutions.

There are six places with two solutions each, for a total of 64 solutions.

Four of the ambiguities are easily guessed by following the picture, but the other two are not obvious at all leaving a 25% chance of guessing correctly first go (or less if you guess incorrectly on the other four).

Randomly guessing on all four gives a 1/64 or 1.5% chance.

Found to require some guessing by infrapinklizzard.
