Haha, I thought it was going to be a belt buckle!

Wonderful! The solve was a challenge for me - took awhile to figure it out. Good image made for a rewarding end to the solve.

Great image, Marie-Louise. I like how you did the bull's head on the flask.
#5: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Nov 14, 2011 [HINT] [SPOILER]
great image and very fun solve! After line logic ended (for me anyway), I did as little edge logic as possible...on bottom to dot C1R20 (then line logic) and then dotted C1R19 and C2R19. Line logic from there. glad i have some water nearby because this one made me thirsty!
#6: Tom King (sgusa) on Nov 14, 2011 [HINT]
Very nice puzzle. I did more edge logic than David, and deeper, too.

Thanks all :)

A canteen, yes you're right Aldege, It just didn't enter my mind, late night, long day at work, I was amazed I even got a puzzle out :)

On my first time solving this I did it like Tom, then on the second try I did it like David.

Very tough to solve for me. After initial line and edge logic, I used extended edge logic on the three rows and columns at the top right. That cracked it for me. Nice puzzle.
#9: Marie-Louise Ambrey (marz71) on Nov 15, 2011
Thank you Levi :)

same solve as in comment 5
nicely done
#11: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Nov 15, 2011 [HINT]
I am surprised by all of the mentions of extended edge logic. So, I went back to look to see if there was anything weird in the line logic. After normal line logic and the edge logic that I describe above (and associated line logic)...whether the black in C18R18 is part of the 3 or 1, C19R18 is a dot. It's pretty straight-forward LL from there. Hope that helps someone.

Can't see a water flask. I guess I'm not up on cowboys.
