of flowers, to jump universes to one of springtime in
a land of former winter, where no invisible walls stood,
or could stand for more than a few hours at most...

Re: Solitaire of Life
EDIT: Is it just me, or does this game have conceptual similarities to minesweeper? When the interior is forced like in this particular puzzle, similar inferences have to be made to those made in minesweeper regarding what cells ("mines") are allowed to be where.
