The seeds are dark brown/black, so it's ripe. And you won't find a watermelon these days with swirls in it.

- throwawaymaths 4y agoYou can if you buy seeded watermelons? Here is a modern picture of a modern watermelon with slightly less dramatic swirls. If you had bought it a few weeks earlier the swirls would be more prominent: http://sites.psu.edu/siowfa15/wp-content/uploads/sites/29639/2015/12/watermelon.png http://sites.psu.edu/siowfa15/wp-content/uploads/sites/29639...
- throwawaymaths 4y agoYou can also see the swirls come out dramatically if you take a seeded watermelon and leave it in (a very cold, to avoid mold) fridge for a few weeks!
- zdragnar 4y agoNonsense. It isn't just a matter of ripeness, but also how many times the flower was pollinated. I got one from a friend's garden much like it last year.
