Shoe repair	2 December 2024, 22:35	This puzzle is challenging, which is why it has three stars. There are harder ones on here, but not that many in the Medium category, and taking hints, and trying to figure out the logic, is a great way to learn new strategies. So, yes, you sound pretty normal to me.
Invaders	16 October 2024, 0:23	I was in my teens, but yes.
Gentleman	25 September 2024, 21:41	I thought it was Clark Kent.
Gossip Girls	5 September 2024, 5:13	This is an advanced puzzle. I couldn't have solved it myself when I first came to the site. But I did do it this time, without any hints or guesses, other than the puzzle automatically filling in the Xs for me. So I know it's possible.
Racoon	28 August 2024, 0:39	I believe this might be the finest puzzle I have done on this site.
Mountain goat	24 May 2024, 2:43	I certainly thought it was a winged lion, right until the very end.
Brodsky Joseph Alexandrovich	15 May 2024, 19:31	It took me three hints to get through this one, and I rarely use hints.
Portrait	22 March 2024, 3:02	This is just cool!
Can't Sleep, Bed Taken	14 March 2024, 4:52	I love it, as soon as I saw the title, I knew exactly what I was seeing.
Turtle	24 February 2024, 8:06	This is a completely different picture in the thumbnail I thought I was looking at the shell, but actually it's the head.
Frederick Grant Banting	14 December 2023, 0:24	Hey, a Canadian!
Coffee	10 November 2023, 6:16	This one made me take my first hint in the past year or two. Wow!
Australian Cattle Dog	19 October 2023, 20:32	That was quite a challenge.
Birdie	12 October 2023, 18:54	I think there are two, and I miscounted them both at the beginning, which left me with nothing until I went back and counted again. After that, it became one of those lovely ones that reveals itself one pixel at a time.
American pitbull terrier	11 October 2023, 19:12	That was a real challenge.
Guy	21 September 2023, 21:50	I was getting Sidney Crosby towards the end.
Bumblebee	28 August 2023, 22:29	I absolutely love your work, and I am glad you are still making new nonograms. I've been doing old small black and white puzzles from 2018 while I've been waiting for new ones to show up, and I'm always very excited when I see your name, whether from 2018 or today! You are one of the few designers who makes more difficult small puzzles, and I love the challenge you give, as well as the beauty of the picture.
Pear	22 August 2023, 20:15	I confess, I was expecting another duckling.
Violinist	12 July 2023, 4:27	This is a really lovely image. I really appreciate your designs.
Turnip	26 April 2023, 3:41	Once I realized they were a series, I've started doing them in order from short to long, though probably leave the one posted on the last day until last.
Cat in a cone	19 January 2023, 19:38	I don't know why this one is only two stars. It took me a very long time to finish the top of the puzzle. Sweet result when I was done.
Basketball	21 December 2022, 3:41	This is a really lovely minimalist puzzle. Not a lot of detail, but I didn't need the title to tell me what it is.
Cup of coffee	17 December 2022, 8:48	And 29 seconds. Pretty fast for me.
Gravy boat	17 December 2022, 8:42	I'm feeling pretty good about my 42 seconds.
Woman	28 November 2022, 5:26	That's what I thought!
Strawberry	17 November 2022, 19:54	I thought I was looking at a human heart, right up until the seeds appeared at the very end.
Woman	13 November 2022, 23:52	None of my usual methods got me very far, and I was stuck for a long time, until I found a couple of lines where I could do a process of elimination (if that box is filled, this other box also needs to be filled, but it can't be). I also think the start rates 3 stars of difficulty.
Mousie	22 July 2022, 22:32	The two star difficulty rating suggests this is an easier puzzle than I found it to be. I spent 40 full minutes with only a handful of squares, and I had to compare multiple rows at a time to give me just one little pixel. There came a point where it got easier, but that was a rough start. Well done, mindscrub!
R2D2	18 July 2022, 22:22	I thought it was a rocket ship right up until the last pixel, then when the victory screen popped up, I knew what it was before I even saw the title.
Under the neighbor's fence	12 June 2022, 7:15	He's almost invisible, I didn't spot him at all until I finished the puzzle.
Hercule Poirot (David Suchet)	3 May 2022, 22:01	This is without a doubt the best picture I have done in the small black and whites, and I've done over half of them.
Rooster	29 April 2022, 23:14	This is probably the hardest to start puzzle I've ever tried. I got something in two rows, then nothing. I had to follow a series of contradictions probably five or six steps deep before I got my next block, and after that it went a lot better.
Bear cub	22 April 2022, 3:35	I totally thought it was going to be an Ewok.
Oak leaf and acorn	13 April 2022, 6:18	I thought it was going to be a tractor, until the very end. A tough one to get started, but it eased up once I finally got a square in the left column.
Maple Leaf	2 April 2022, 3:33	It's been a long time since I wanted a hint to get going on a puzzle, and I took two that didn't help much before I figured out the trick to get me going on my own. Really well done, and keep the harder ones coming, I don't want to completely lose my advanced solving skills.
Coiled Cobra	19 March 2022, 4:04	I agree this was harder than most of the 2.5s I have done, though probably not quite a 3. 2.5 is my favourite difficulty, enough to challenge, but not enough to consume hours of my day. Well done.
Tropical fish	16 March 2022, 4:01	For the longest time, I thought it was a striding penguin.
Lavender	4 March 2022, 9:25	Certainly the hardest one I've ever done, the timer says 3 hours 32 minutes, but the computer slept twice while I was working on it. No hints required, and I was never tempted to give up, because just about the time frustration set in, I saw the next square. Great puzzle all around!
Fox	2 February 2022, 2:11	This is such an elegant design.
Small fish	1 February 2022, 22:20	I had to use a pretty advanced trick of elimination to get past the first big block, but then it was pretty logical, if not easy, after that. Well done on such a small puzzle.
Lizard	23 January 2022, 0:41	I honestly thought it was a guy doing a handstand.
Sunset on the river	19 January 2022, 23:33	This is a really beautiful and creative picture, and a challenging and interesting solve. Thanks for coming back to give us new puzzles, I've been solving a bunch of your puzzles from 2018, and I love to see them all.
Hard worker	13 January 2022, 3:30	I totally got a picture of Sisyphus pushing his rock up the hill. Mythology is silent about how many lower limbs Sisyphus may or may not have had.
Alcove	17 December 2021, 0:14	A lovely result. In my part of the world (eastern Canada), we would call this a gazebo. I'm wondering what people in other parts of the world call them.
Swordsman	15 December 2021, 7:20	I love the sense of movement on this puzzle, and it was no pushover to solve, either. The best small one you've given us in the past few days.
Sandslash	2 December 2021, 21:37	I love the colours you are using for this series, great shading, but I never have any trouble telling them apart.
Waiter	23 November 2021, 23:20	I agree with all the glowing commentary here, especially since it takes this great little puzzle on its own merits, rather than giving a critique that amounts to this puzzle is too small. I choose to do mostly tiny and small puzzles, because that's what fits best on my laptop screen, and any tiny puzzle that takes me more than 3 min is clearly a treasure.
Mallard	10 November 2021, 19:28	I really enjoyed this puzzle. A beautiful and slightly unusual choice of colours, and it made me work for it just enough to keep my interest.
Goose	1 November 2021, 19:25	I am Canadian, and there's a story making the rounds that Canadians are so nice because once a year, on Canada Day, we have a public ritual which takes all our meanness and transfers it to the Canada goose.
Goose	1 November 2021, 19:23	Aren't they always?
