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.

Great puzzle, Jan. Learning some new logic techniques here.
#14: Teresa K (fasstar) on Dec 29, 2009
Great image and lots of fun to solve.

This sure is one stinky puzzle! :-P
#16: Skittles (Skittles66011) on May 10, 2010
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!
#20: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Sep 15, 2021
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.
#21: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Sep 15, 2021
Ditto to what Brian said!

What do you call a dead skunk?
