Puzzle Time :)

Yup, I loves puzzles, especially this type of puzzle... solved one before about 5 houses, and was just trying to solve it again and see if there are other puzzles with similar type.. and I got it!!!!!

Trying to solve this yesterday for an hour I guess.. it's harder than the 5 houses, but it's so much fun!!!!!!

Try it if you love puzzle as much as I do :)
