Winter Wonderland Puzzle Day 6

Didn't get a great deal done but I did connect the feces from end to end and did add to the trees. And most of the dog is now in the picture. I have pulled out most of the sky, snow and deciduous tree pieces out though there are still a fair number in the box.


Yesterday I posed a riddle. Here it is again with the answer, followed by a  new riddle.

A man is looking at a portrait. Someone asks, "Whose picture are you looking at?" Rather cryptically, the man replies:
"Brothers and sisters have I none,"
and points to the picture, 
"but this man's father is my father's son."

So whose picture is he looking at? 

Answer: The picture is of his son. Apparently about half of the people posed this riddle think it is a picture of himself. If the second part of the riddle had read "This man is my father's son," then it would have been a picture of himself. 

Today's Riddle: There are more inhabitants of New York City than there are hairs on the head of any one resident. Given that no one is totally bald, are there at least two residents with the exact same number of hairs on their head? 

Answer tomorrow.
