For those who might need further explanation of the images:

Au = gold; thus, gold medal = top achievement.

Class president, Boss man, holder of the purse strings person in charge. (Maybe I should have depicted the leader as a female?)

Athlete with his letter jacket, hanging with another member of the varsity team.

Fabulous puzzle. Loved solving it. Thanks!

Thanks, Jewel. I'm partial to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, but that would have been too many needs to make into a puzzle. Three seemed just right. :-)

Heh, when I saw the title of this, I instantly thought of Maslow, but figured it couldn't be. I wasn't far off, I guess! I particularly like the Au symbol!

I struggled with the middle panel and it solved last for me. An interesting challenge.

Caitlin, I was working on the Maslow one, but my browser crashed and I have to start over. He started with five, split one in two and then added two more, so now there are 8 - perfect for two puzzles! Stay tuned.

it is so big so I had to solve with the boxes so small...it made my eyes hurt...but it was worth it; nice image and reminder of my good old psych days. :)
