Definite creds for originality though. Nice find.

Post by: Blick on March 05, 2007, 09:40:19 pm: Well, that's to solve the puzzle completely. It has patterns that they understand. Making it any different, like making some crazy dither patterns this has going on, would definitely take them longer because they can't do it out of habit anymore.
