Qwerty, did you have to guess, because I didn't and the helper didn't, but someone who didn't leave a comment, rated as in need of some guessing, what do you think ?
#3: Sylvain "WCPman" (qwerty) on Sep 24, 2008
no guessing
#4: Jota (Jota) on Sep 24, 2008
Thanks I was curious.
#5: Nancy Snyder (naneki) on Sep 24, 2008
that happens sometimes...not sure who does it, but it has happened to a few of mine too :)
#6: Beth (Shasta) on Sep 24, 2008
It was trickier than it looks but I don't think I guessed. Great idea!
#7: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Sep 24, 2008
I agree with all the comments.

Thank you for your entry.

This is a Todd I thought of when I was thinking Todd thoughts the other day, but I decided not to do him, I am glad you did him, good puzzle, nice and hard to solve :)
#9: Jota (Jota) on Sep 25, 2008
Thanks!

I just finished it, and I had to guess more than once. If someone is able to give me a hint, I'll try again.

I tried really hard to figure it out with logic, and I found several really tricky spots. But finally I gave up and did some save and revert-- not my favorite way to do a puzzle. What did I miss?
#11: Arduinna (arduinna) on Sep 25, 2008
Oh, and what do you mean the helper got it? When I try the helper on it, it pretty much gets stuck at the outside. I know sometimes you have to help it along with obvious stuff, and I didn't try that...
#12: Jota (Jota) on Sep 25, 2008 [HINT]
First you do the left and top outside borders and start on the bottom one, after that counting and with the help of the "helper" (enable error checking) you get it.
#13: Nancy Snyder (naneki) on Sep 25, 2008
I went back to the solved puzzle, cleared it & hit the helper button & it only took it so far, not completing the puzzle :)
#14: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Sep 25, 2008
Same here, Nancy.
#15: Jota (Jota) on Sep 25, 2008
About # 13: I'm sorry, I didn't know that technique, I have never tried it. I was referirng to the "enable error checking" as the "helper".

#16: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Sep 25, 2008
LOL
#17: Nancy Snyder (naneki) on Sep 25, 2008
:) it wasn't until I created about 100 puzzle that I learned about the "helper"
#18: Sylvain "WCPman" (qwerty) on Sep 25, 2008
Just so everyone is clear with the rule if Jota don't do a modification or if this version of the puzzle is not officialy solvable without guessing, we judges won't be able to accept it in the WC this week
#19: Jota (Jota) on Sep 25, 2008
Is it or is it not, I am confused .
#20: Sylvain "WCPman" (qwerty) on Sep 25, 2008
still has the interogation point
#21: Jota (Jota) on Sep 25, 2008
Yes, but who can remove it ? I'm new at this, someone included the interrogation point, you didn't guess, neither did shasta or monkeyboy , What do I do?
#22: Jota (Jota) on Sep 25, 2008
I added ice blue to my confusion ...
#23: Adam Nielson (monkey) on Sep 25, 2008
Thanks. I solved it again, and DEFINITELY had no problem at all solving it logically.

Once again, thank you for your entry.
#24: Jane Doe (telly) on Sep 25, 2008
Nice puzzle. Clever. Solvable with the changes you made. Good job and good luck! :)
#25: Jesse Matlock (sooner aviator) on Sep 26, 2008
I solved it with logic alone, but i did most of the blue and black surrounding it by pattern instead of logic. I gave up using logic alone a long time ago, when i know what the pattern is. I know how to use logic, but when i know the pattern its much faster.

I realize that since I did some and then left and came back to the puzzle, I COULD have guessed, but I don't think I did. Nice puzzle
#32: Jota (jota) on May 6, 2013
Thanks Martin and Marsha! I just got these comments.
#33: Synthia McBride (synthia) on Jul 19, 2013
Excellent creepiness.
#34: Jota (jota) on Jul 19, 2013
Thanks Synthia!
