- [9:18 PM]Conflux: not planning to solve all but no way B is generated, A probably is
- [9:20 PM]Conflux: F also seems human
- [9:21 PM]Conflux: G also human
- [9:21 PM]Conflux: all of them have good aesthetics though!
- [9:21 PM]Conflux: also the ones I’m not commenting on I basically decided not to solve lol
- [9:23 PM]dj💤man: lowkey suspecting you wrote one of the nonsymmetric ones just to screw with us
- [9:29 PM]tluo5458: thoughts:
- A - generated
- B - curated generated
- C - generated
- D - generated
- E - human
- F - human
- G - human
- H - curated generated
- I - human human human
- J - generated
- [9:29 PM]tluo5458: i don't feel like i'm good at this game
- [9:41 PM]Rever: I think I agree with you.
- I'm stuck on A, B, C, D and J.
- B has some stuff goin on but I'm lost
- I feels extremely human lmao

- no curation myamya - A & C: These are definitely the weakest puzzles here and show that naive generation (here is a working puzzle) really can stick out.
- puzzleteam - B & G / E & I: The only thing I wanted to make sure of was that I took a non-symmetric puzzle at some point. Symmetry definitely seems to elevate a puzzle, as both curated puzzles were symmetric. However, the biggest one was puzzle I: as shown above everyone thought this was human but no, it was made by a generator (and was, in fact, the 4th puzzle I got so it would have shown up in a larger no curation batch!) This group showed that a good generator, and especially with some filtering, can turn out some nice puzzles under specific circumstances.
- pzprrt - H: I wanted a symmetric layout and started with this V shape. Once I put in 4-5-6 as a starting point, it just worked with placeholder 1s so I had a puzzle. A bit lucky, and one that definitely seemed to have a human touch from the consecutives.
- pzprrt - J: I just wanted a puzzle with two pairs this took so long to stumble into. And it shows, as this style of construction was specifically scattershot to try to simulate a seeded generator and show that "bad" puzzles that are human-made with an idea can still be indistinguishable or seen as worse than generated puzzles. In particular the comparison with puzzle G is striking.
- handmade - D: I really wanted to put in some tricky steps here with the largest number having to cut off the side and thus influence connectivity later, and this kind of hard step presented in this context made the puzzle seem less human, which I found interesting.
- handmade - F: At the end of these comments, we have a puzzle that shows that the best human puzzles can still stand out. My point was already proven in that these middle categories are impossible to differentiate without being told creating "schrodingers puzzle", and yet the 3s and 6s with symmetry stood out as human from everyone who answered. This just shows that really good puzzles will always stand out, which was never something I tried to argue. All I wanted to do was prove a point that generated puzzles are puzzles, and I think I did that well.
