Quasiregular mappings form a natural generalization of the analytic functions in the plane to real n-dimensional space. One of the main open problems is the question, raised for the first time by Zori~ in [16], of how many values a nonconstant entire quasiregular mapping f: R"~ R" can omit for n=> 3. The strongest form of a conjecture here is the full analogue of Picard's theorem: f cannot omit more than one point in R". It was proved in [4, 4.4] and in [10, theorem 2] that f cannot omit a set of positive conformal capacity. On the other hand, f can omit one point. For n= 3 such an example was given in [16] and it can be generalized for any n in a straightforward manner. The purpose of this paper is to give a step towards Picard's theorem. Our result is that the set of omitted values is always finite, more precisely as follows:
