Woo! 1st! Cute, simple, well done.
huh?
huh...?

salt?
Think of a puzzle that might look like this.
2 top 10s today! Yippie!
[6] Just reflect on it for a while.
I think my eyes are crossing looking at this one!
[8] - Merci beaucoup...
Imagine the numbers are light sources....
Pretty slick. Thanks [8].
Nice puzzle.
And way too much salt this early in, IMO.
i still dont get it...
wat am i suppose to be looking for?
[11] Thanks, just what I needed.
[9] It's not one of those kinda puzzles, is it? I am sitting here with my eyes crossed and the puzzle turns all 3D-like, but I don't see an answer in there anywhere - and now I am all dizzy.
If you having problem with this puzzle, maybe you would like to play a game of Khet

woow.. i can't believe i figured out a method. This is super fun. [11] that helped a ton... too much in my opinion.
[16] No. That would be cruel. No one should ever post a stereogram as a puzzle. They are evil, and painful, and pretty migraine-y (they're also awfully easy to defeat by just loading them into the right computer program, so that's pretty weak).
nice puzzle.
Nice! That must have taken a while to develop.
thanks [17]. definitely a good and fun puzzle.
number 7 doesn't seem to lead me anywhere, and 1 seems to lead to two
[23] it might be easier to print it out, then. I could trace it out on my monitor, but ymmv on your computer.
wow, even with pasting it into paint I can't make it work... is it one letter per number?
This reminds me of a really old Mac game that I used to play, the name of which escapes me. Entertaining puzzle though, I like it.
[25] each number does only end up with one letter in the end, yes.
beaut
[26] It wasn't The Fool's Errand, was it?
fun puzzle.
[26] there is a similar game often called "black box", where all you get are the outside bits, and you need to figure out what's inside.
that was a very fun puzzle. good job, henwy
a truly unique puzzle that was fun to solve, after [11]'s salt that is.
[26] Oxyd?
This is a cool clone:

could someone TG me a hint on this one? I keep trying, and I get letters that don't make a word...
Thanks [26]. I burned so much time playing Oxyd back in the day.
I'm doomed...
ugh, is it a picture I should be looking for rather than letters?
There is no image to look for in the picture. 8 and 11 are good salt, but imagine a laser instead of a simple light bulb
[38] The laser and mirror method is what I tried, but I got letters that didn't make a word. I am being too dense about this!
[39] I originally saw the letter I as the digit 1, which really gave me some strange answers. Is it possible that you're doing the same? The digit 1 is on the left side of the box.
Try 3 or 4 first to get a feel for it. 1 was the hardest for me to follow.
Thanks for the hints. I now have the word, thanks to a very welcome Tangagram, but I still have no idea how to get it.
This is why I always struggle with any spatial relations questions in IQ tests. My brain won't go there.
For me and the way my brain works, the number 3 should get me an "S" in this puzzle.
NOW I see it. Right angles! Aaaaaargh!!!!!
The secret is in the "right angle". It only took the first 4 letters to get the whole puzzle, but that was fun!
[29], [34], [36] I don't think it was Oxyd, but I definitely remember that game and it was awesome as well. I still don't remember what the game was, but I found a posting on another site with a guy looking for the same thing (and not finding it)! [31] Black Box was close, but I remember seeing the slashes in the maze. Good times, good times!
[45] and I remember this Flash based game, called Reflections:

Once I understood what I needed to do, it was fun! :)
Hum, even after seeing the solution, I think it depends on how you bounce it.
This puzzle would have greatly benefited from a carefully draw out grid with lines that were exactly at 45-degree angles. Very cool idea though.
