Just to show that the pattern has potential and 'pour encourager les autres'. Any takers?

shamelessly theiving your puzzle and changing a number in the top left and claiming it as my own like a first world anarchist

also why did you abruptly switch languages in the middle of your sentence like that je ne comprends pas

i'll show myself out

I suppose you miss the humour of the "attempt" to appease any potential anglo-french misunderstanding.
It goes back a lot furthur than "your mother was a hamster amd your father smelt of elderberries !"
we English can parlons le Francais ! [not]

It does seem a good pattern but i cant commit the time needed to find these diamonds - though you did find it easy .....

In German a number like this is called a Schnapszahl. The English equivalent is supposedly repdigit, but who's ever heard of that?

g.r.emlin has infinite patience,
would wait indefinitely for the 2nd player to show up

however, now that we have a 2nd active player,
g.r.emlin watches the responses
and ends the game after 4 days of no response
— or occasionally just 1 day (recurring glitch)

will 999_Springs post any more puzzles? will coloin post?

that one is a morph of a puzzle of the data base of potential hardest.
The highest rating for that pattern was 11.3 at the time I extracted puzzles having a symmetry.

No, it should have closed the game yesterday.
