Title: Puzzle update 2 is up..
Post by DonnaHar on Aug 10^th, 2006, 1:53pm

and some of the pictures will be from my vacation in N.C, Atlanta, Chicago and eventually Michigan.

New Puzzles will be added every 10 days. One in particular, and a not too hard one, is of my sister at the Atlanta Underground kissing a big replica of an Indians baseball. It is listed as puzzle 15.

http://www.bigfatpuzzles.com

Sudoku will be out in about 3 - 4 weeks. This one will be updated daily, with yesterdays solutions.

If you have any art work to submit, which is selected for use, you will be acknowledged as the artist.

Hope you enjoy them.

Feedback invited and encouraged because we need to do what the people want in order to attract advertisers, so that this old"er" lady can finally retire!

Donna, Thanks ....I think [smiley=huh.gif]

I showed your link to my wife Linda last night and now I find that my time at the computer has been severely cut into. I may have to buy another if you keep coming up with new puzzles.

Seriously we think your site is brilliant and wish you great success ;;D

I am going to PM you so check em when you read this.

Tim

Thanks so much for the good rating, Tim and Linda. Makes me feel a lot better knowing that puzzle people like it.

Also, watch for an answer to the PM.

This is fun and challenging. I did Puzzle 1 and 13 and am now working on Puzzle 12. I found the highlight button about 1/3 of the way through 12. Too cool. I had 12 about half finished when I went to click the highlight button and accidentally clicked Start Over. AHHHH!

Here we go again.

LOL, Gator.....#12 is one of the hardest ones. I'd have never gotten it back together without that highlight button. Did you ever get it finished? #9 is a pretty hard one too.

I am so happy that you are enjoying the site.

I still see no puzzles, are the archives suppose to be puzzles?

That's right.

Just go to the "Download" column that lists "Puz.1", etc. and click on any puzzle number. This will initiate the download of a Windows executable puzzle program.

Donna,

Thanks, I thought it was a PHP, or Java app on the front page. Maybe archives should be changed to just games, people like me see archives as old.

The games run in wine on Linux but I am still to brain dead from working to do them.

I just passed your suggestion on to Jerry and he will be changing "Puzzle Archives" to something like "Puzzles Download".

Suggestions like that are very helpful and he says he appreciates your idea.

Thanks Paul.

Donna, I finally did get it finished.

At first I thought of the highlight button as kind of cheating, but then I rationalized with myself that if I was putting together a puzzle on my kitchen table, I'd have the picture on the box to show me what it looked like and besides, it wouldn't be there if you weren't supposed to use it, so I used it - this time without resetting the puzzle.

I haven't tried 9 yet. 12 had the most pieces and the hardest difficulty, so I went for it. I'll try 9 next.

I did 1 through 3 and then jumped to 8. Number 8 was a wicked pissa (oh wait - that's from the How Massachussets are you thread).

Thank you for getting me addicted to yet another set of puzzles!
