Sorry if you had such a hard time. However, I will wait to see what others think before simply taking YOUR word for it! You have an issue with almost EVERY puzzle you try to solve. Perhaps its you!?! I would appreciate if you just IGNORE my puzzles because I could not care LESS about what YOU think of them....or me! Honestly I can't figure out for the LIFE of my WHY you continue to play here. Lord knows I personally wish you would leave once and for all. I am sure many other puzzle creators on here feel the same. We are DONE with your negativity and hatefulness!
Sorry to everyone else for "going off" but considering the HATEFUL source, Im just NOT going to take a jerk like "Jobar13's" word for it.
HOWEVER, if anyone ELSE on here has a hard time with it please let me know and I apologize in advance to all of YOU. Maybe I can give some hints if it is, in fact, unsolvable. I did test it out but then again I knew what it was supposed to be so it could be "my bad!" I'm still learning how to do anything more then mosaics/tiles. And don't worry...I WILL take all of YOUR thoughts to heart (and PROMISE I wont take it personally)!! I'm just not going to take it from someone who never has ANYTHING nice to say about anything. I am sure many of you...who have had to deal with the a-hole above...understand my issues with him and agree!
BTW...it's completely symmetrical from side to side (starting in the middle)....and each side (going down) is also exactly the same. I hope it really isn't unsolvable and that you are all able to enjoy and complete it!! Again, I apologize to everyone (except Jobar) if I made an impossible puzzle!!
I take that back. There are a few irregularities so the puzzle isn't EXACTLY the same on each side, but almost! The only other irregularity is on the 13th line across. It IS difficult (I tried it again for a second time) but also solvable with some time. If anyone has a problem let me know and I will help you complete it the best way I can!! ~:)
I also found it impossible to finish without guessing. No need to SHOUT at people or call them a jerk or an a-hole. And no need for hints - I'll just leave this one and try a different puzzle when you put one up.
I'm sorry everyone! I truly apologize if there were too many white spaces! I appreciate the feedback! Like I said, I was able to complete it...but then again, I knew what it was supposed to look like. If anyone would like any hints on it I can always post some to make it easier to complete. Just let me know! It's one of my best pictures, artistically speaking, but obviously NOT my best hanjie! I wish it hadn't been too hard to complete! Thanks to all that have taken the time to try! So sorry it was a waste of time...or took too much time!! :(
Zebedee....I NEVER get upset over what people say about my puzzles on here. I love hearing "constructive" criticism so that I can become a better puzzle creator. However, I have been on this site for years and have had to tolerate MANY posts by Jobar13 attacking EVERYONE whose puzzles he solves...even the really great ones. He has been hurtful and hateful to almost every puzzle creator on here and I haven't come across a SINGLE nice comment posted by him. It's possible he HAS posted a few nice things but all I have run across is his hatefulness. He just spreads his misery everywhere he goes and I have simply had it with him. I apologize if I offended YOU in some way (Zebedee). That was not my intention. I am just really fed up with him being so mean to so many on here. I couldn't "take his word for it" on this particular puzzle b/c he posts hateful things on even the BEST of puzzles. Therefore I wanted to see what OTHERS thought before simply believing that it was "unsolvable" from such a mean person. He says that all the time, not only to me but everyone. I think I have read at least 5 posts by him this month alone where he attacked puzzle makers. I'm sure there were more but I have been working on older puzzles so I haven't been doing many newer puzzles. Heck last week he YELLED (in all caps, as ususal for him) at the creator of the "Weird celebrity baby names" saying that word puzzle are NOT "true" hanjies and to STOP posting them b/c HE was sick of seeing them. And that is just one recent example. That particular "rant" of his pushed me over the edge and was the final straw (as far as MY patience with him). I decided to simply start calling HIM out after every crappy post he made. After all, if he can dish it out (in HEAPS), being so incredibly rude and hateful then he should be able to "take it" when others stick up for themselves and their friends. I am a VERY positive person (as anyone here could attest to) and ALWAYS post something nice after every single puzzle I solve, even those that weren't that great...but I have no tolerance for bullies, especially when they attack those who have done nothing more than try their best. So please forgive me for what I said above if it offended YOU in any way. I hope you understand where I am coming from and that this had nothing to do with MY puzzle in particular, I'm simply sticking up for those creators that have had to deal with his hateful ways on EVERY puzzle he has commented on.
Thanks again to everyone who took the time to try and complete this puzzle! Again, I apologize if it had too much guessing! I will post hints/help if you would like me to!
Bopdancer: I'm so glad you were able to finish it!! I am sure that with all the guessing that it took a large chunk of time and I truly appreciate your hard work in completing it! I am glad at least someone was able to see my art! I am NOT a very good artist at ALL so I was proud of myself for this one!! Bravo for being able to finish it!! Thanks again!! ~:)
Couldn't figure it out, Katrina. ;/ I came up with at least 5 different solutions within the whisker/stripe area of the cheeks. I have to leave for work now, but I'm going to save and try some more possibilities when I get home later.
Well, I am disappointed in myself. I should have inverted the puzzle so that the black was white and the white was black! Phooey. It was one of my best...artistically...by far! I will redo it and invert the colors so that it can be more easily solved. Thanks to ALL of you for trying your best. I really do appreciate it! Look for the "inverted" remake of it...coming either today or tomorrow!
And I am happy to say that a certain person above can NO LONGER POST COMMENTS. I'm sure all who have been "hated on" by him will sigh in relief. Hopefully from this point on ALL of us can enjoy a more positive and supportive site. Thanks to all of YOU for your support....especially when trying to complete this particular puzzle! Much love and many blessings to all of you!! ~:)
I have created a revised edition of this pic which should be posted shortly. There may still be some guessing on the whiskers but I will post a "spoiler" for those lines for anyone who wants or needs to use them! Hopefully with the new one you will all have a much easier time completing it! It's not as great a pic as this one is but it's still nice...I think.
Sparrow: I am SO IMPRESSED that you were able to complete this puzzle in just over 3 minutes!! HOW in the WORLD were you able to do it so fast...especially since I couldn't even complete it in less than a half hour...and I CREATED it! LOL You must be one hell of a hanjie puzzle solver!! BRAVO!!! ~:)
Omg...I was SO close the first time. I just had the 2 blocks at the tips of the top whiskers reversed. I switched everything else around with the whiskers except for those. Lol. I'm so relieved to have finished this one. And to think, I almost completely finished it on my own!!!
Hi KatrinaJ Secret hints (obviously I'm only telling you) :) I look for symmetry and hope I'm right .... I do all my Hanjies at 70% screen size so it's easier on cursor time ... In the UK we have a bi-monthly magazine where you can solve puzzles that are 12 x 20 5x5 squares that are almost like portraits or paintings so I have lots of practice at really hard Hanjies (although I take my hat off to Ausiuke who solves online puzzles which I think are impossible)! .... If I'm stuck, I look at similar online photos which give me inspiration / hints .... Hope that helps :))
What a horrid outburst from Katrina. Typing in that sarcastic way, I just imagine some high school air head shouting, "Sorr-EEEE!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!!!!" Maybe you should take a deep breath before you act like such a childish rotter. It's an illogical puzzle, there's no need to get so defensive.
Golightly....I again apologize if I offended ANYONE else. However, after years on this site...having to read hateful comment after hateful comment by the SAME person...attacking EVERYONE whose puzzle he solved, or tried to solve, being absolutely horrible to them. Attacking not only the puzzle but the puzzle MAKERS....I had just had ENOUGH. We are here to SUPPORT one another and have fun. EVERYONE who knows ME on here knows that I am ALWAYS a positive person. I have NEVER attacked ANYONE else and definitely do NOT enjoy it. The ONLY reason I shot BACK at this particular person is because he had attacked MANY of my friends on here making them feel like crap. It truly had nothing to do with MY (this) puzzle! There just hasn't been a SINGLE nice comment by that person and after keeping my mouth shut for a long long time I just lost my temper and unfortunately didn't bite my tongue. They have been just awful to everyone and NONE of them deserved it. I understand that THIS puzzle wasn't logical and have no problems with that. I am SORRY for it being a crappy puzzle and that I made the mistake of too many white spaces which is a bummer but I am FINE with that, however, it had nothing to do with my "attack" on Jobar. I am not perfect for losing my cool and I have apologized for MY lapse in judgement, but it had nothing to do with ME and this puzzle. It had to do with this person attacking EVERYONE on here! I also understand that two "wrongs" don't make a right and that maybe I SHOULD have just kept my mouth shut....but I didn't. That was wrong of me I am sorry for that. I just don't understand why someone would attack EVERYONE they came into contact with. I don't understand why they would hurt others for no reason whatsoever. Mostly, I don't understand why he continued to come to this site if he hated everything and everyone here!?! Obviously you haven't had to read all the crap from this particular person. If you had you would surely understand my anger. I am normally a very laid back, kind and honest person. I have always given my support to EVERYONE on here (which most who have been here for a while can attest to)! I am sure that they would all agree that I have never been hateful in ANY way to ANY of them. This "outburst" of mine was a SINGULAR incident and came after yet another hateful comment made about someone else's puzzle. I believe this should be a positive site where we ALL support one another...good or bad. When a certain person is constantly attacking others it sucks the joy right out of it. Also, I am NOT the only one who has felt this way. The administrator of this site had gotten MANY complaints about him and that is why they are no longer allowed to post ANY comments anymore. Again, I am sorry if I offended YOU in some way. However, I cant honestly say that I am sorry for "going off" on the person above. After every way, all the times, he hurt OTHERS (not ME in particular), he needed to be told how hateful he was! Please realize there is MUCH more to this issue then him not being able to solve MY puzzle. I honestly couldn't care less about that! I hate that I made such an unsolvable puzzle...and appreciate ALL the "constructive" critisms...or heck, ANY other comments, left for me. I take them all to heart and will always try better in the future. I just wasn't going to take HIS word for things when he attacks every puzzle maker on here. Like I said before, last week he YELLED at someone for making word puzzles, just because HE didn't enjoy them! If you don't like something then just don't do it! There is no need to attack the creator in such a way that it's hurtful and downright MEAN. I feel bad if I said or did anything to offend anyone else. I was simply trying to get my point across after years of dealing with his horrible ways. Thankfully, NONE of us will have to be subjected to him and his cruelty again! I can't be sorry for that. If I'd had a way to send him a personal message (instead of calling him out in "public") then I would have. I hate that I had to air it in a place where others could read it. But I would still have said something, one way or another. It isn't right to act like he has acted....just like it probably wasn't right for ME to act the way I did. BUT...from now on you wont hear one other mean thing coming out of MY mouth. The situation has been dealt with and we can all simply move on and have FUN whilst supporting and being KIND to one another. I don't understand you calling ME out on my response to his hatefulness when you don't know the whole story....however, I respect your opinion and feelings and understand if you felt the need to then attack me. I wish you had been able to realize that it was simply a response to the years of abuse he had dished out to everyone on here. So I am sorry if this rubbed you...or ANYONE else...the wrong way. I'm just glad it's been handled.
Hints: the nose is in the shape of a heart (in the middle, rows 17-22); the 4 in column 10 and the 5 in column 16 are part of the eyes, which connect to the bridge of the nose, which then connect to the heart-shaped nose.
Well considering its been two years since this puzzles inception and only 37 or so people have solved it, you would think people could quit with the ridiculously long arguments (as valid as they may be) and help us out. That being said... The whiskers on the left are R12 C4, R13 C5, R14 C3 6-7, R15 C4-5 8, R16 C6 9, R17 C7, R18 C8 It's symmetrical from there, hope I got the numbers right.
Not logical !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
