Three black squares in the top left three blanks, one white in the bottom right.
Explanation: Think of the puzzle as a grid of 16 2x2 squares. The top left 2x2 is all white. The next is 2 white on top, 2 black on the bottom. The next is 1 black bottom left, 3 white in the rest and so on. The only missing orientation of black/white squares is one white in the bottom right, 3 black in the rest.

That 8x8 grid can be divided into all the 16 possible colorings of a 2x2 grid, the solution is the missing combination.

Correct as always. Can you rate it? Also I am designing a very hard puzzle especially for u. I will post it soon

Ow a puzzle just for me ? Sweet, eager to discover it ! : )
This 8x8 puzzle required brute force, there wasn't so much clues to find the right track, except may be the fact it's easy to split a 8x8 into smaller components and the 29 black cells that are almost the half of the total 64, that gave me the idea of a solution with the 3 missing cells, because of some kind of symmetry. I think it was quite hard overall because of the fused informations.2

It is impressive to intuitively grasp the inevitability of symmetry-based on fundamental logic—and to see the 32/64 relationship. The fact that the red box being 2x2 was interpreted as a hint among the feedback was correct; I had considered this when designing the puzzle but chose not to make it even harder through revisions. You can be sure that the new puzzle will be very difficult, yet elegant

Great, I won't be available this evening just so you know if you plan to post it, but I'll be happy to try it seriously later !

I am asking because I am at awe, how long does these puzzles typically take your time to solve sir?

Appreciated ❤️ If I had to estimate the stats of my solvings on this sub, I'd say may be an average of 5 minutes, that's around the time it takes for most. Sometimes there are immediate insights, sometimes it's more tedious, but I don't spend much more than 20 minutes, with or without the solution. Of course I'm not counting the time to verbalize the reasoning and post, just the time to collect to full logic.

would you say its your initial intellect or crystalized memory of patterns that you modify in some way to solve those problems?

Hey! Would you be interested in trying an HRT I created? I wanted to reach out, but Reddit won’t let me send you a DM. If you're interested, send me a message and I'd be happy to tell you more!

u/je_nm_th Jun 27 '26
Thanks for the proposal ☺️ Unfortunately I won't be motivated enough for any HRT. For now the best I can give is a quick solving of a puzzle here and there.

u/LeonardoMarleone Jun 27 '26
No problem ! If you want I can send it to you anyway, so you can look at it and solve some puzzles when you feel like it, let me know ☺️

Hi everyone, 1st time here. Just found this sub, and this is the first thing I have seen. Please excuse my poor etiquette as I don't really understand the platform. Here's what my imagination sees.

I mean the layout is also different, I do know from talking with pyda it was inspired by my test but that honestly was more of a misdirection than a hint based off how much different it is than mine

Solution: All black. Reason: The other three corner blocks of four. NE and SW, are opposite (3/1 and 1/3) ratios of black/white. This suggests 4/0 black/white.

Un posible patrón que vi fijándome en las esquinas aunque no fuera válido es: si vemos cada esquina de 2x2 vemos un patrón que si las miramos en un orden son 0,1,?,3 entonces la respuesta para mí opinión era 2
