Weird. Adam posted almost word for word what I was going to say, except I was also going to mention that this was one of the weirder PBN subjects that I've encountered. Maybe you could do a germ series. Some are pretty.
#3: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Jul 14, 2009
Amazing that you and I thought alike, isn't it.
#4: Jan Wolter (jan) on Jul 14, 2009
Not entirely amazing. We've been sharing our opinions and solution techniques on on PBN puzzles for years now. A certain amount of convergence is not so very amazing.
#5: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Jul 15, 2009
Well, when you consider that the two people converging are you and I, then yes, I feel it's amazing. Maybe with two other people involved, not so amazing.

It looks more like a strange cockroach to me.

Well, Adam and Jan, I was going to write pretty much the same thing. I imagine there will be many other who will chime in. Not so amazing then. :-) But the puzzle was amazingly fun. Thanks, Gator!

#6 - I think I based the puzzle off of this image.

I believe the E coli text was added for solvability.

Thanks all.

A little beauty for sure! I enjoyed the heck out of this one. Thank you, Gator.

This was one of the easiest Gator puzzles I've tackled. Lots of fun.

I actually used a little of what I call "Gator logic" in solving some of the trickier spots. Many of your images have that diagonal perspective, which helps in placing certain 2s and 3s.
Thanks for yet another fun puzz!
