It looks more like a school to me, somehow. I thought at first it might be a wood shed, but then Johnboy was kind of a goodie two shoes.#2: valerie o..travis (bigblue) on Sep 4, 2012

Aldege, you earn an A for the solve alone. Terrific fun!#4: Tom King (sgusa) on Sep 4, 2012
Lookd like a Mission Church. Tough LLS solve, thanks, Aldege.#5: Deana L (ffswife) on Sep 4, 2012 [SPOILER]

Norma,i think grandma gave Johnboy a whoopin in the woodshed,even if he didn't deserve it. She was kind of ornery.lol.:)#7: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Sep 5, 2012
Thx Travis.:)#8: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Sep 5, 2012
Thx David,but i'm a bit confused. It only has a rating of 1.75 for difficulty,but does that mean it was still a good solve?:)#9: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Sep 5, 2012
Thx Tom,i guess i have the same question for you that i asked David in comment #8,you say it is a tough LLS,so is it just that first low rater person messing with stuff(i couldn't care less about the ratings mind you),or does the rating not have anything to do with it being a good,or challenging solve? I'm just curious.:)#10: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Sep 5, 2012 [SPOILER]

thx for entry, Al#12: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Sep 5, 2012
it wasn't a hard solve, it just had very nice progression. it was pretty straight forward, but not SO easy that you feel like your mouse-clicks can't keep up with the squares you know. it moves you around the board nicely. this is also partly because the large number clues sit just far enough away from the edges that you can use their proximity to the edge in the logic, but not ON the edge so the solve auto-grows too quickly from one or two spots. also, there are just enough 1's in some of the rows that you find yourself counting them for some of the shorter clued rows, but never needing to count/factor those long strings of 1's in R11 and R12. it wasn't hard, it was fun...and bonus for LLS. hope that helps.#13: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Sep 5, 2012
Thx David,yes that helps a lot. Even though i'm not much of a solver,i can understand what you mean.:)#14: Jota (jota) on Sep 5, 2012
I loved solving this one, thanks Al.#15: Tom King (sgusa) on Sep 5, 2012
Aldege, you know it is a bane of mine when challenging puzzles are rated 1. As LLS, I gave it a 3. There is nothing you can do about the idiot that comes along and rates a 1. In my experience, you will probably end up just under 2 stars with this puzzle.#16: Joel Lynn (furface1) on Sep 5, 2012 [SPOILER]

Thx Tom,I don't normally care about the ratings,but when i read yours and Davids comment,it sort of made me scratch my bald head.:)#18: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Sep 5, 2012
Thx Joel,very cool,i would love to go there sometime to see the school house.:)
Oops i forgot,thx Jota.:)#19: Jota (jota) on Sep 5, 2012
