That was insanely difficult. Yikes. Can't believe I figured it out logically. I don't even have any tips to give. Just chip away at one side once you get stuck.

When I started, I was gonna say that you're overreacting, but you're right...

Lol. Yeah, the first 60% was easy, and then you really had to think with the upper sides and borders. Probably would have sussed it out quicker if I wasn't also avidly watching a new movie.

It wasn't *that* difficult, but it was definitely tricky.
replyI didn't find it too difficult. But I was able to start at the bottom and work up from there.
replyit's pretty easy if you start from the middle with the orange and reds. I didn't have to guess and that's surprising coming from an avid guesser on here.

I found it tricky, but not difficult. beautiful puzzle
reply
Very, very difficult. It might be impossible to solve the colors one at a time; I had to keep switching colors. Great picture at the end; very rewarding puzzle.
reply
I started with both colours and then used the symmertry

Most of us can resist the pitfall of symmetry. You were not one of them.

That's a good one. Made me think. When you are stuck near the end at the top upper left corner, think about the placement of the blue 2 block in column 8 from the left.
At one point I had to use a hint and still don't understand how that hint could have been proven. Great riddle!

Well, the hints are just random give-aways. At the time you get them, they can't be proven since you don't have the rest of the boxes set.
I find that hints are normally not that helpful. Once I resort to hints, I usually have to use all 3 because they actually don't give any logic away!

This was extremely difficult (legs part). I find it very strange that every puzzle has a rating of 3 stars, when the comments clearly say "This one was difficult", and others are extremely simple, below 3 stars.

Wow. Had to use a hint towards the end, which helped me finally see what I wasn't seeing. Surprisingly difficult for such a small multicoloured puzzle. Very enjoyable, thank you!

Where I live this kind of beetle is called a 'gendarme' = policeman

Puzzles that go nicely with my current class in insect biology (cool hemipteran!)
Very fun puzzle! Great job!
Two of the colors were straightforward, but for the other two it took some thought to get past one hump without assuming any symmetry.
I really appreciated that this puzzle was not completely symmetric. Thank you!
