19 piece tile puzzle Bugs Toysmith

If you can see a four digit code on each piece, the second number tells you in what part of the puzzle the piece should be. Example: All pieces with second number a three should be in the same "part" or area. Then You should take the two last numbers from the code and minus the first number, example 13-6=7 then this piece is the seventh piece in the third module. You will get for all modules pieces with numbers from 1 to 30 after some calculation. Put the pieces in order smallest most under and bigger higher up. And start with "module" 1.
This was at least how the puzzle should be assembled. I hope this helped you!!!

you trying to be an a$$? as that combo leads to dead end on first option for every single head that matches that tail

Their website has tips and solutions for that puzzle here: http://www.give-me-a-clue.com/products/tile/

Fairly straightforward. It's where you start. Start with the 5 headed and 1 tail tile in the middle. The rest is just trial and error, about an hour.

Q: I have a missing puzzle piece. How can I get a replacement puzzle?

A: The Charles Wysocki Gallery does not make the puzzles. We buy them from Hasbro. Please visit Hasbro's website at www.hasbro.com and click on their customer service link for help with missing puzzle pieces.

This same puzzle was copied and handed out at a Mensa meeting according to this link:
http://www.cs.utsa.edu/~wagner/sheep/index.html
I have verified that the Mensa puzzle and the "Big Sheep Puzzle" at www.thebigsheep.co.uk are identical. The spotted sheep are replaced by the brown sheep in the Mensa puzzle. The instructions on the box claim 2 identical tiles, but there are really 2 sets of identical tiles in the puzzle. The author of the link above found 55 distinct solutions.

This unique children's game spawned a whole line of Labyrinth Games. The board has a set of tiles fixed solidly onto it; the remaining tiles that make up the labyrinth slide in and out of the rows made on the board. There is always one tile not in the labyrinth. Players take turns taking this extra tile and sliding it into a row on the labyrinth, moving all the tiles and pushing one out the other side of the board, which becomes the piece for the next player to add to the maze.
Players move around the shifting tunnels of the labyrinth in a race to collect various treasures. Whoever collects all of their treasures first and returns to their home space wins!
This game is very simple at first glance and is an excellent puzzle-solving game for children; it can also be played among adults using more strategy and more of a cutthroat approach.
