One Word Wonder

It took you 1 minute and 5 seconds to solve this puzzle.
You were the 1st Tanga member to solve this puzzle.

Once again, hard and easy seem switched.

dammit, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, STOP MAKING PUZZLES COLORBLIND PEOPLE CAN'T DO!

[1] Donimo: Yep, I finished second on this one, but still haven't solved the easy one.

[2] ...and sadly this one would take quite a while to translate into text for you.

I see the green cubes, but I can't find the orange ones...I think

Bah, the only ones I'm certain about are red...

or maybe not...my friend told me one of the orange ones was red and one of the red ones was orange...GRRRRR

would someone be willing to make a "graymap" of the puzzle for me so I can "enjoy" it too?

It may not help much but I tried to simplify the colors as best I could. This of course makes the rest of the puzzle a little blurry, but hope it helps.

Unfortunately the colors are important.

Grayscale version... not sure how it'd help.

I don't see what red cubes have to do with anything in this puzzle.

I got it and I like the general idea of what was done, but this one was tough for me and I'm not colorblind. This would be IMPOSSIBLE for someone who's colorblind and that's just lousy.

Is there an alternate way through this puzzle because my way doesn't go over a single green square.

it hurts my eyes too much. It's moments like this that I wish I WAS colorblind... Make the pain stop.

got the instructions, but not sure how to use them.

Cute, but not for the colorblind.

Now if only I could get anywhere on the "easy" puzzle tonight!

Yeah, this was actually pretty hard for me to see too...
But it was pretty cool though.

[11] [13] Step away from the puzzle!

It might help.

Yeah, this one was hard to see, even though I'm not colorblind. It's puzzles like this that make me wish we could click on the puzzles and make them bigger. Even the letters were hard to see for me.

I knew the method, just couldn't see it. Maybe it's time to get my eyes checked again...

I had to put it into an excel spreadsheet to get it.

At least we can console ourselves with the fact that this puzzle must have been as much of a pain to make as it was to read.

[19] I had to put mine in MS Paint and alter it to find the answer.

This one word wonder was PERPLEXING even for my sighted friends.

Thanks to those who came to my color-superior needs
(I maintain I'm the one with normal vision, the rest of you are screwed up!)

bagherra

nevermind - I see you have faster friends than I!

Well, that was a horse of a different color.

meh... still stuck. sniff.

Egads!!! I'm blinded!!!

Got it, but the red and orange are so close as to make my eyes hurt.

Someone owes me some Excederin.

I also got this right away but still nothing on the easy :(

Rough. I'm slightly color blind. Now I feel even worse....

but there aren't any letters on the colored squares...!

Got it, but ouch, my eyes. 8-|

Ow.

...well, now we know why the puzzle creator is down to one eye.

that was pretty cool. thank goodness for MS paint and the erase feature!

This was an awesome puzzle.

colorblind or not...

this puzzle is just not pleasin' to the eyes. i'm sad. the puzzles don't pull me into solving them like they used to.

Sorry about the colors. It was a little bit easier on the eyes in jpeg format, but the colors got pushed closer together in the conversion to bitmap.

Also, I was planning on coming back to it to try and make the colors less bright and hard on the eyes in general, but they used the puzzle before I got the chance.

From what I'm reading, it is based on color, which means I'm screwed.

[36] making colors less bright usually makes things WORSE for the colorblind. At least it does for me.

Had to step away for a second to see the answer.

Jeez... My eyes are dead...

Nice one though :-P

got the clue but I still refuse to use a program (excel/mspaint) to try and solve these puzzles...way too much of a P.I.T.A.

Just be glad it wasn't a computer program written in Piet.

This puzzle would have been infinitely better if that was a bitmap or simple GIF instead of a JPG.

Then I could have just copied it into MSPAINT and used the color eraser to find the answer :) It actually works rather elegantly that way if you use the image that Apparatus made.

Clever idea though; I toyed around with trying to do something like that once, but gave it up because I couldn't figure out a good enough way to implement it.

Ah! It burns my eyes!
Color blind need not apply
Answer in plain sight

[42] You could have copied it into paint and then saved with a lower bitrate (8-color or 16-color BMP). Would have flattened the colors enough for it to work.

lost in confusion of what clue means, answer in plain sight but well hidden

Could someone point me to an orange block? x,y coordinates, or near some letter.

Being color blind, this puzzle is IMPOSSIBLE!

Edit: I finally guessed at which was was orange and was able to get it.

This wasn't that quite so much...more like headache inducing!!

finally....

I'll second the eye-wrenching!

Its Puzzling why any one would ever make a puzzel like that.

I found this cryptic labyrinth quite enjoyable. I also learned that I wasn't colorblind. Thank the tanga gods. I feel for those who are. I do wish the orange were a bit easier to distinguish, should have picked purple or something.
