I admit it. You stumped me. I had no idea what this was, before or after reading the description. I had to go to Google to learn what the heck "skeleton" was. Interesting!

Great puzzle. I had never heard of this sport. For those of you who don't want to have to google it, skeleton is a snow sport where you slide down the mountain head first on a sled thingie with no brakes and no steering. Yikes.

Conzick, your puzzle looks a lot like the Wiki photo. Did you use that photo as a model for your puzzle? Or did you find a site somewhere with lots of icons? If you did this freehand, I praise your artistic talent.

i would love to be praised by you, Teresa! But no, I do use existing piktos...

Ah, but I praise you anyway. Right after I posted that question, I came across a bunch of the sports graphics that you had used. But I also came across a few nice logo type graphics that I thought would make good puzzles and spent lots of time trying to make a decent puzzle out of one, then another, and just couldn't get that magic combination of good image plus lobically solvable, and gave up. So I praise your gift of being able to turn those graphics into good puzzles. :-)

Easy puzzle. Image is a little hard to understand. Finally got it.
