Puzzle Description:

A tradition of Thanksgiving in our house (and I would assume many others) is the breaking of the wishbone. Seen above are two hands pulling on the wishbone as it breaks. The person that ends up with the larger part gets a wish.

This one will require some edge logic.

Don't all your puzzles require edge logic, Gator? ;)
This was a fun one -- I had my suspicions about what it would be, but it was fun to see it "pop" as I solved the puzzle. Even though there weren't any large groups along the edges, the pairing of the 2's and 1's limited the placement enough to get a start. I definitely had to work my way around the puzzle, filling in a few black squares and a few dots at a time.

Yes, I needed edge logic to get this puzzle started. Nice job.

Nice image. Slow starter but once it gets going it goes quickly. Completely solvable with no guesses and I marked it as such.

Found to be logically solvable by Gator.

Oops. Forgot to mark it as solvable.

I found this difficult to see even after solving. I thank sarriemom and rhodyboy888 for the solving tip.

Yes, I had no idea what this was until I read the description. Then it popped out. Great solving puzzle.

Ah, now I see it! Thanks for another fun solve, Gator.

Not an instantly recognizable image, but a very interesting and unusual solve.

Yeah, the image looked a lot better BEFORE it was solvable. Oh well...

Thanks for your entry! I hope the one on my left wished for us to have many more great puzzles to enjoy at webpbn.

I love little puzzles with a bit of a challenge to them. This one was great!

Very neat fun :)

Just getting around to doing this one, and it had some really fun edge logic to get it started. Another great puzzle. I had no idea what the picture was until I read the description and then it popped out at me - love it.

Thanks Matt.

Another tough one Gator.
Lots of edge logic!

agree with every word of comment 15

Wow! Excellent puzzle, both image and solving, thank you Gator! :)

Thanks!

Another Gator-rific puzzle, well done!

Thanks!

Such an imaginative puzzle. Good image and challenging fun solve.

For those who stared at this for ten minutes like I did, here's a roadmap.

Notice the two columns on each side of the grid. On the extreme edges, there are 2 clues only, and inside are 1 clues.

Start with line logic and then head to the top and mark off C1 and C20 all the way to R8 where the 8,4,1 column already eliminates the 2 there on each side. There are only two clues of 1 originating from the edge; further edge logic helps fill in some squares there. Eventually the 7,8 completes and the rest is line logic.
