Took a little while, but when the aha hit, it was simple!
almost 8 minutes and I was 5th.
Nice and tricky - don't over-think!
Never had an aha moment, but sort of a what if moment. And it worked.
Awesome, finally got it.
Finding the solution was a little drawn out.
no clue...
It's not suduko based, or bingo based, nor is it tanga'ing the totals of each cell (If it is, I'm so totally lost it doesn't matter). :p
Any help would be great.
Thank you Soccer Ref! Pretty!
[6] Nicely salted. Thanks!
still no clue either....might be dice related with numbers 1-6..just a guess.
NM...solved. It was a puzzle of a different color. I just didn't make the right connections at first. Thanks [6] and [10]
Not bad, but no methodology behind the solution inherent in the puzzle; one just has to happen on that strategy. Thanks for the puzzle, though, nocca! :)
Could someone TG me a clue? All I have so far is a little drawn out, nicely salted solution of a different color - and that just makes me think of beef jerky.
Much later: Beef jerky was really close to the solution! All I had to do to get there from beef jerky was to start all over and change everything completely - and then I had it. And it didn't take any salt to get there, either. In fact, NACL was of no use to me tonight. What I needed were step by step directions given in words of no more than one syllable, and then I could almost get it.
To paraphrase Pogo, "I have met the enemy, and he is my brain (or lack thereof)."
[13] ever tried painting by using a kit? (you also kinda missed my salt on "making connections")
[6] There's an art to good salt, and you always have it. Thanks!
Nifty.
good one!
Thanks for passing the salt [6]!!
[14] did it for me. Thanks!
Numbers don't sit well with my brain. When I see a bunch and it's a puzzle I have some sort of freaky brain freeze. I learn much better with words, pictures and color.
But photoshop allowed me to sort things out nicely :)
Never would have solved it on my own, but now if I see a puzzle like this again, I think I'll remember and be able to solve it.
