A Leopard is one.

Martin, who is offering two pork chops as prizes in a competition he is running on his blog,lent me a very big book of puzzles - 1000 Play Thinks by Ivan Moscovich.

The book has A LOT of very mathematical/geometrical puzzles that leave me cold and would feature well in a book by Ivan Headache.

But i like this one - probably because there are elephants in it.

The instructions are - Can you uncover the logic of the pattern and add the missing animal.

I couldn't by my offspring did and with his own simplified logic - impressive.



I also like this one which appeared in the Guardian Newspaper recently.

So i'm placing them here so i don't loose them.

The Leopard is one, was a clue....
and notice in the diagram of the 'boulders" there are also 3 dots.

Could it be Brie ( rhymes with three)?

Hey, they look like limestone blocks from the Gorge!!!!!!!
It's CHEDDAR'

Sorry Martin, despite your enthusiasm, the "official"answer is neither Brie nor Cheddar - the answer is something to do with those dots.
