Puzzle Description:

A skunk

The last part of this tunnel requires some fancier reasoning, the same kind of boundary stuff that turns up from time to time.

Thi requires a little extra logic at one point, I think. Good one! A big tail.

Very good brain-exercice.

very good challenge. while i knew from the title what it would be, it was still a challenge to find it.

While I'm a novice at these puzzles, I could not finish the upper right hand quadrant without guessing at the location of the last column.

Same here, GaHendrick.

Someday I'm going to have to write an essay on advanced solving techniques. There are more ways forward in these puzzles than meet the eye.

Wow that was hard at the end... I used probably more of a very logical educated guess just for one square, which enabled the whole thing to finish out.

I found this one to be very difficult, because I kept making mistakes in the lower half of the puzzle and kept starting over.

The unusual or advanced technique involved, I guess, is placing the top line. you can greatly limit the number of places it can go by filling in the 2nd line at the same time, by putting in the white-space markers and filling in the square for the columns that need 2, when you fill in the 4 for the top line. Many places you might think the row of 4 can go makes filling in the 2nd line impossible, therefore the first row of 4 can not go there.

Simple edge logic solved this for me. Excellent puzzle.

pppppppppppppppp, uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, with that said, very nice puzzle

Ditto #10 - edge logic at the tip of the tail. Nice puzzle and well rendered.

Great puzzle, Jan. Learning some new logic techniques here.

Great image and lots of fun to solve.

This sure is one stinky puzzle! :-P

This was a lot of fun--nice image, just enough challenge.

I wish there was a better stripe on the tail, but it's still a good image.

We've got some reverse skunks around here. They are actually two-stripe skunks like this puzzle, but the white stripes are so wide that they go all the way down the sides and leave only a small black stripe in the center of the back.

They smell the same, tho.

Tail was hard, but not too hard to finish. Good one!

What a delight to have this gem pop up. I probably ought to go solve all of Jan's puzzles but it is such a thrill when a "new" one shows up.

Ditto to what Brian said!

What do you call a dead skunk?
