This is a hidden art pixel puzzle! To solve this you need to look at both the rows and the columns that contain numbers. Each number you see represents a set of colored in squares (ex: 10 means there are 10 colored in squares touching in that column). Using logic you must determine which of the blank squares are to remain blank and which ones are to be filled in with color. There is at least one blank square between each number in a row and at least one blank square between each number in a column (remember there may be more blanks between numbers, but at LEAST one). Color in the correct squares to reveal the image and then submit! Good luck!

(**Note: You can use an X in a square that is to remain blank if you would like (that will not count as being "colored in" but "colored in" squares should be filled in as reasonably possible. Please use one color of your choice for this puzzle.)

ETA: For those who are not familiar with this type of puzzle, do not be intimidated. Look for symmetry and use logic in order to solve. You can do this! It's okay to trial and error!

A vast majority of you got the correct answer for round 2, despite its...illogical solution. Let's just sweep that one under the rug!

Spoiler: Round 2 Answer

Anyway, here is the puzzle for round 3. You should not have to guess at all for this next puzzle!

Using the clues, fill in the grid with an "X" mark for incorrect(False) and an "O" mark for correct(True). When you are finished and each villager has the correct snack, gift, and hat, submit your completed grid! Again, you should not need to guess at all for this puzzle, I will post a detailed solution at the end of this puzzle. I have also chosen to give you a day more time for this puzzle since these can take some time if you aren't used to solving them.

Here is a resource that may help you.

(ETA:I have posted this a day early in order to give you more time.)

Congrats all! I'd say 99% of you were able to figure that last puzzle out, so I don't think I need to post a detailed solution (unless you really need me to).

Spoiler: Answer to puzzle 3

As we all know, it wouldn't be the puzzle room without some sort of cryptic message. Back again is the Cryptogram style puzzle! I hope you all enjoy this last boredom busting puzzle. (You may write along the side/bottom an alphabet key if you need one. And yes, I did miss the box borders around the comma at "FVVZ", it won't mess up your answer.)

Additionally, if you don't want to fill out the boxes on this puzzle page, you are also allowed to just type out the answer when you make a submission.

(ETA: Released 8/7 in order to give you 1 extra day to work on.)
