Simon was right! A very pretty puzzle. Accidentally spoiled what I need to do for the break-in via youtube comments but I don't think that would have changed my time very much. Finished in just under 15 so lets say without the hint it would have been just under 20.

achambers2010. it didn't take me as long to start over, but once I figured out the "right" coloring to use I did start over, and it was much more pleasant to solve.

After about 75 minutes of coloring and pencil marking that would make Simon cringe, I decided to start over with a different tack... and then the break in was the best use of that logic I've seen for a generally approachable puzzle.

I was stuck for so long trying to find the break in. A beautiful puzzle for a Sunday morning.

I also had that one moment where it suddenly clicked. Great puzzle

It's a "when you see it..." kind of puzzle. Brilliant setting!

Bard, you always seem to hit the Goldilocks spot for me - not too easy, not too hard, just a great puzzle and I get to mess up a bear’s house. Fun!

Love this series, Bard! Took me 19:41 today. Just a phenomenal job of setting. Thanks as always! Hope all is well with you and the family.
