I don’t know as there is “nothing” numerical in the Bill Withers video.

It didn’t take too long to find all of them. Grandma thinks that Superbasset’s name, however, should be changed to Stupidbasset after breaking in through the wall.

The caption of nighthawks’ photograph posting from National Geographic.
“A gray wolf in a wildflower meadow. A new Idaho bill aims to kill most of the state’s wolves. P H O T O G R A P H B Y J I M A N D J A M I E D U T C H E R”
The headline accompanying that article (unformatted) and an update to it.
“New Idaho law allows killing up to 90 percent of state’s wolves
The move could partially undo decades of efforts—which have cost taxpayers tens of millions—to recover wolves in the region.”
“Editor’s note: This story was originally published April 29 but was updated May 7 to reflect the news that Idaho Governor Brad Little has signed SB1211.”
Thank you, Idaho Governor Brad Little, for endorsing the absolutely brilliant wildlife management policies of your idiot advisors.
And no, I don’t care a whole lot about the cattle that ranchers are “losing” to the wolves (nor said ranchers bank accounts either). There has got to be a better way than wholesale slaughter of innocent animals.
The wolves are innocent. It’s idiot humans who decided they are guilty for no better reason than they can.
National Geographic: Ninety percent is a fair bit more than “partially.”
The picture was published because of one undeniable face.
What I see if I try to find two.
The “head on” one, which looks almost photographic… I wouldn’t say it tilts toward either direction, but it’s hard to tell, it being two dimensional.
The only right (or east) facing profile I can make out is to take part of it as a sort of cartoon devil or imp, sticking out a long tongue, and nowhere near photo-realistic like the other face.
I thought #4 was something about diagonal parking. Thanks for #11 ~ couldn’t figure that out. I thought #15 was pep rally. Totally didn’t get #16 either.
…I hope everything will become clear; it’s all in the attachment below the comment.
As always, right click on the link and open it in a new window so you don’t lose this page.
ok, thanks for the delete instructions, now what am I doing wrong with the spoiler, I click on the plus sign for spoiler and type my message and hit post and it shows as the answer and not hidden
The closing tag seems to be missing, but the site fills in the code, not the commenter, so I don’t see how that could happen.
…
I put each of my answers in a separate tag yesterday
But since Alexi listed them together and now everybody’s discussing them openly anyway…
…
My first thought was on 4 was “diagonally parked”.as well, and that seems like Perkycat’s thought too, but to backwards engineer it for proof….
if I were making a rebus for that, I would just put the word “parked” diagonally across the square. So if that’s the correct answer, it’s a darn poor clue.
…
I like your #5 best so far…
And you agree, so I guess maybe I was right on 15, unless Perkycat is.
Alex, do you know why some of your responses that I get thru my emails ( as I follow you) refer to February 25 and that is where it takes me when I click on it?
I just gained the 12 pounds I lost by just looking at the picture!

Beautiful. Coyote or wolf?
Looks like a faithful dog, to me. 🙂
Dudley Doolittle style, anyway.
Wolf
Woof!
It’s cartoon time!
First 8 showed fast. Last one only after a break.
I’m neutral towards Bill Withers.
I make it 26 (have done for years).
Hey look! Your side by side before 8:30 Pacific daylight time!
There’d better be a lollipop in it for me, I’m telling you.
….
I do have to leave again… But I’ll be back.
Happy solving.
…
Btw, I’m curious…
Alexi… what have you made out to be 26 “for years?”
At first I thought puzzle differences, and I went “UH-oh”… Bad enough when there are unexpectedly TEN.
But the puzzles haven’t been around for years. Or not many.
And I don’t see anything numerical in the Bill Withers video.
Thanks, Susan for your side-by-side. I got 5 before you showed up, and got the rest with your help! Hoooray!!
Nice and easy, Nighthawks, for a change. WooHoo!
me too, two weeks in a row, I’m on a roll!

What a bunch of you know what’s!
I agree! They are innocent animals.
Got 8 right away. Will come back in a bit to search for number 9.
Can you see “him”?
Not only can I see him, there are two of him from different dimensions.
uh….nope
Dunno where Alexi sees a second one
Here is where I get the two of them.
One guy is facing us almost head on (I’d say North by East if pressed); the other’s profile is facing just about due east.
The picture was published because of one undeniable face.
The only right (or east) facing profile I can make out is to take part of it as a sort of cartoon devil or imp, sticking out a long tongue, and nowhere near photo-realistic like the other face.
Is that the one you mean?
No kidding!
I was looking looking looking….and WHAM! there it was!
Me too, the first time.
Hey, I found one, I’m quitting while I’m ahead!
Can see it easier on my phone than on my computer
Really great! And once you see him, you easily see him again and again.
And it’s supposedly unretouched and completely accidental.
What a strange-looking trash can! Is it melting? Maybe it was kicked, poor thing, people are heartless.
I know!
I’m not absolutely sure whether he’s actually the trash can, or a big heavy brown bag in front of the trash can.
But he has quite a scowl on his face…and I don’t blame him a bit!
So good of you to notice and care about our supposedly inanimate friends.
I saw that also
I guess I was… um… resting my eyes again… sigh…
so it’s past time for the solution, for those who like to compare.
But…careful…. Be more certain than ever that you do your best before you peek!
SuperBasset has x-ray eyes, you know… and he doesn’t tolerate any unfairness!
…
He’s one of my very favorite basset characters.
Look at that face.,. it fairly shines with his devotion to Truth, Justice, and the Canine Way!
Even if, as I recall, he’s sometimes way too busy fighting crime to pick up his own mess.
…
Sigh… I made a typo that caused me to edit that comment….
but I ended up reposting three times due to being sleepy and forgetting the fact that WordPress changes your formatting while in editing mode.
One of those times displayed the solution openly after it destroyed my spoiler tag…
Sorry if anybody saw it who wasn’t ready.
Got em all –easy peasey!
I just looked up.
It’s started, lightly…but still, slushing out.
story of my life
Hong Kong
That’s beautiful…..and I see the person.
If anybody is still interested… I went back and posted my answers (hidden) to the rebus puzzle on yesterday’s page.
Nighthawks do you have the answer key?
Or did anybody solve the ones I missed?
Here is a listing of Susan’s answers to the rebuses (rebi?) from yesterday with mine next to hers in brackets.
2) Susan: Pace back and forth (me too)
3) Susan: Son of a Gun (Me: Young gun)
4) Susan: Don’t know. Had an idea but don’t think it’s correct. (Me: (unsure): in line parking?
5) Susan: Check three times (Me: Check and double check)
6) Susan: Pennies from heaven (me too…ignored the “s”)
7) Susan: Cross country (me too)
8) Susan: A face in the crowd (me too)
9) Susan: Topless dancer (Me: Break dancer…but I like Susan’s answer better)
10) Susan: Deep sea fishing (me too)
11) Susan: I don’t know (Me: Bermuda Triangle…spell Bermuda… it took me a while)
12) Susan: Take one before every meal (Me: missed it entirely)
13) Susan: Shrinking violet (Me: Shrinking violets…there’s that pesky “s”)
14) Susan: Middle of the road (Me: Narrow road)
15) Susan: …maybe full of pep? I don’t really think so. (Me: (unsure) Pep talk?)
16) Susan: Mixed bag. (Me: missed it entirely)
I thought #4 was something about diagonal parking. Thanks for #11 ~ couldn’t figure that out. I thought #15 was pep rally. Totally didn’t get #16 either.
Thanks for filling in the answers! They are all groaners, especially #11 and 16!

ok, thanks for the delete instructions, now what am I doing wrong with the spoiler, I click on the plus sign for spoiler and type my message and hit post and it shows as the answer and not hidden
You have to either type your message in between the quotation marks inside the first spoiler tag
[ spoiler title =”like this”]
OR…
The easier way… Type the text you want to hide, highlight it with your mouse so it turns blue,
and THEN click the plus sign.
Your text will automatically be placed where it belongs inside the tag and you’ll be prompted to fill in the label..
Thanks so much
Alex as the established guru of all things wordpress, can you help out
Bambushi?–it’s about nine comments after this one
About number 2…. er… that is… your 1.
But who knows since we’re divided on #4 …
The clues are obviously not great.
(Couldn’t be us solvers, of course.)
Ok, now what happened to your spoiler?
The closing tag seems to be missing, but the site fills in the code, not the commenter, so I don’t see how that could happen.
…

…
I like your #5 best so far…
And you agree, so I guess maybe I was right on 15, unless Perkycat is.
When I left, the spoiler tag was here. IDK, what happened. My spoiler left in the open! I feel naked. Sorry.
It’s ok… the only ones you mentioned are already being discussed here outside the tags anyway.
My original scheme was to make it so people could look at my answers one at a time, on yesterday’s forum, without giving away the rest.
That failed utterly.
Then people started talking here about #4 and #15.
….
By now I don’t think there’s anybody left who cares about the puzzle and hasn’t seen all of my answers and all of Alexi’s anyway.
Unless someone else comes along in a few days or a few years and wants to solve it…
in which case, sorry future puzzler.. we tried. Just don’t read the comments.
Oops.
I just discovered that your post is gone, and my reply now say “to Alexikakos.”
Did you take it down?
It was really ok… I answered you openly anyway!
….
Interesting that on this site, unlike on GoComics, my post became attached to the level above, instead of disappearing with the deleted one.
Dunno what would have happened if yours had been a first level comment, rather than a reply.
…
Anyway… You weren’t really naked… I couldn’t see a thing!
Yes, full of shame I had to take it down.
Thankfully, no eye bleach for you!
#4.
LOL… Um… The gray box that pops up, which I’ve been calling the spoiler label for now, is where you type the text that you want to SHOW in your post…
Something people will see INSTEAD of the secret stuff.
…
They have to click it to view the answer, hint, picture, etc, that you‘re hiding.
Not a bad idea to just type “spoiler” on it till you see how it works.
I tried both ways and neither seemed to work. Clearly I have no idea what I’m doing. :c)
Alex, do you know why some of your responses that I get thru my emails ( as I follow you) refer to February 25 and that is where it takes me when I click on it?
I left a message about the ones I got…..or didn’t get.
Thanks. Just read it.
Please see my reply (now above this… reply timing here gets confusing) to GerardD, in which I mention your replies on this page…
On yesterday’s page it seems you changed your vote on #15.
And Nighthawks (below) thinks we can all just figure it out. LOL.
sadly, I don’t.
but there’s enough smart folk around here to figure it out, I figure
LOL!
Good morning Super Cleophanatics!
Hope Superbasset has masonry skills.
Have a Coke day!
Y’all have a wonderful Saturday. (((((HuGz!)))))
