	Sorry this isn't fancier. I came up with the idea of the puzzle, worked long and hard on trying to ensure that it was solvable and unique, all with the hope of the actual puzzle looking like the full-color illustration. What I forgot was that you can't set the color of the cells and have wrong answers end the quiz. Also, on "force answers in order" option, the "Answers with the word 'go' display on Start" only works on the first square. And to get this solvable, you need all 4 pre-filled squares. Hopefully, even with those limitations, people who like logic puzzles will still get some fun out of this, my first logic puzzle attempt.

	Totally see where you were trying to go here, totally see how you were trying to stretch the limits of the format and how they just wouldn't stretch far enough, and totally enjoyed the quiz.

	vikZ:	Dec 30th, 2012 at 06:55 GMT		8 points
	This is brilliant rockgolf! Just curious, is there a name for this type of puzzle or did you make it up? A quick search just gives me Sudoku puzzles that use colours instead of numbers.

	goseaward:	Dec 30th, 2012 at 07:43 GMT		3 points
	Very cool! As far as getting the grid to look like the puzzle itself--perhaps it can be done with the same magic that makes the published image quizzes work, with the images above the answer?

	actwentysix:	Dec 30th, 2012 at 10:16 GMT		2 points
	Maybe it's just me, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around the 6x6 grid with none of the same colors in the same column or row, (done twice, once with the colors, and again with the words!)

	missyflip3:	Dec 30th, 2012 at 11:28 GMT		4 points
	loved it! I just counted corresponding cells and that worked fine. It would be terrible as a forced order quiz though because, just like sudoku, it's not line-by-line sequential logic. Answering one color could reveal another color on the other side of the puzzle.

	michaelm:	Dec 30th, 2012 at 12:02 GMT		6 points
	Shame about the limitations, but I still loved this quiz. Unique and quite challenging.

	Government_Agent:	Dec 30th, 2012 at 14:15 GMT		4 points
	The instructions have a typo in the first paragraph. When listing the colours you name red twice and skip orange. Still a fun quiz overall, despite the format limitations.

	ArtieArmstrong:	Dec 30th, 2012 at 15:24 GMT		9 points
	Really nice quiz. I particularly liked not having to figure out "does 'adjacent' include diagonals on this one?"

	Zak6009:	Dec 30th, 2012 at 16:11 GMT		6 points
	You should make this quiz accept single letter answers since they're all different. ROYGBIV. Err.. ROYGBW. Other than that, you're golden!

	actwentysix:	Dec 30th, 2012 at 16:58 GMT		9 points
	@Zak6009: What happens when your first cell colored is Orange? Orange gets colored with the 'O', and your next cell is filled Red with the 'R', and odds are it'll be wrong and end your game.

	rockgolf:	Dec 30th, 2012 at 17:36 GMT		6 points
	@vikZ: To my knowledge, this is an original format of logic puzzle, although it clearly borrow elements from traditional logic puzzles, Sudoku, Mastermind, and a Games magazine puzzle called Battleships that I enjoyed. @Government_Agent: Oops! Okay, I've replaced the image with the correct list. @EVERYONE: Did you solve the puzzle in the same way as the explanation in the solution? Or is there a more elegant method I missed?

	vikZ:	Dec 30th, 2012 at 19:08 GMT		8 points
	Then I have to give a huge kudos to you for coming up with your own puzzle. It's very original. In response to your solution explanation, I did do it differently. On your 3rd step, where you find blue and yellow in the 5th row, you can find out the entire 5th row. The first column can't have any colour matches, and the 3rd column can only have 1 which you already found on the 1st row. So the 2nd, 4th, 5th and 6th colours have to match in the 5th row, so you also find out green is in the last column of that row. Then you can find out red is in the 1st column and orange is in the 3rd column of the 5th row. Then I continued by putting orange in the 3rd row of the last column since it's the last spot it could be in that column.

	Really loved this quiz. Great job, Rockgolf!

	Zak6009:	Dec 31st, 2012 at 01:31 GMT		1 point
	@actwentysix: It took me a bit to realize what exactly you were trying to say. Well, if it says so in the instructions, it shouldn't be an issue... but also, if you've been typing one-letter answers the whole time, you're not gonna 'habitually' type something out, unless it's the very first one. In which case they should have read the instructions.

	tallerpat:	Dec 31st, 2012 at 03:41 GMT		4 points
	I think it was an excellent puzzle. I love the logic problems and I love suduko, so this was a double like for me. It was a little confusing at first looking back and forth between the color grid and the answer grid, but given what you have to work with as far as formatting, it was brilliant. Good job and 5 globes!

	Loved this quiz. A great brain stretcher !

	Antithesys:	Dec 31st, 2012 at 13:07 GMT		5 points
	The format actually made the second half of the quiz a lot easier (filling in the incorrect matches). If you're using sudoku-style logic to eliminate possibilities for each cell, then having just text is much less confusing. Cheers, RG, you've done it again, you old scoundrel.

	pchristofferson:	Dec 31st, 2012 at 14:49 GMT		6 points
	That ... was awesome.

	JWJr:	Jan 1st, 2013 at 16:45 GMT		5 points
	Awesome! 5 and nominated.

	kristen58:	Jan 2nd, 2013 at 04:39 GMT		5 points
	Yayy!!! That was fun!

	dm21uk:	Jan 2nd, 2013 at 13:52 GMT		2 points
	Great logic puzzle - 5 globes! I agree with Zak that it would be a nice touch if it accepted the first letters of the colours since they are all unique.

	rockgolf:	Jan 2nd, 2013 at 18:27 GMT		3 points
	When I was testing, I used the first letters as placeholders of possible colors. (I used "GROW-BY" as a mnemonic for the color list.) If I accepted first letters, I couldn't do that. I suspect others may use the same method, if not the same mnemonic.

	Hiya24:	Jan 2nd, 2013 at 19:32 GMT		2 points
	Very cool quiz, especially if you actually came up with it yourself.

	ksmalone29:	Jan 3rd, 2013 at 05:52 GMT		3 points
	Fun quiz. Too bad sporcle won't let you set it so we can just enter the text onto the actual color grid versus the blank grid.

	TheCleverone:	Jan 3rd, 2013 at 11:20 GMT		3 points
	Can't wait for a sequel!

	brez002:	Jan 4th, 2013 at 19:08 GMT		11 points
	I managed to complete this while color blind; I want a cookie.

	2Lebrons1Cup:	Jan 4th, 2013 at 19:32 GMT		3 points
	This quiz was a blast. Excellent job rockgolf!

	rockgolf:	Jan 4th, 2013 at 22:36 GMT		14 points
	@brez002: I left you a delicious sweet green cookie. It's in the jar with all the poisoned red cookies. Enjoy.

	hatshepsut:	Jan 6th, 2013 at 04:38 GMT		-1 points
	Enjoyable--although I really couldn't logic out a couple of them and made a couple of wrong guesses and had to start over...remembering some of what I'd already figured out.

	Booger:	Jan 7th, 2013 at 17:45 GMT		2 points
	Extremely enjoyable. Having the extra table you didn't want was fine because it made the quiz even more challenging. Now if could only figure how to do a 3D logic puzzle.

	Pogues:	Jan 8th, 2013 at 21:40 GMT		4 points
	Nice quiz Rockgolf. Now the developers need to work on allowing this quiz to function properly!

	Michelle194:	Jan 8th, 2013 at 23:12 GMT		2 points
	Magnificent puzzle, Rockgolf! Pen and paper helped me a lot!

	Lprdgecko:	Jan 10th, 2013 at 02:11 GMT		2 points
	Great quiz, first one I've been able to complete on the first try without guessing!

	david6k:	Jan 14th, 2013 at 03:46 GMT		2 points
	Excellent. Pity it's not (yet) possible to set this up as you wanted, though I think @goseaward's suggestion might get you most of what you want. I also didn't do it the way you suggested, mostly because I making notes using pen and paper and didn't always catch things when referring back and forth. So I have a much less elegant way to do it. that involved doing most of the third row much earlier in the process.

	brez002:	Jan 15th, 2013 at 18:03 GMT		2 points
	@rockgolf hahaha touche

	I really enjoyed this puzzle! Thanks so much for all your hard work.

	litchick2013:	Feb 2nd, 2013 at 01:42 GMT		2 points
	Great puzzle. Took me 5 times, but once I got past the first half of the puzzle, it fell in place. My mistakes were mine.
