    A significant Tanga Anniversary
    http://tanga.com/puzzles/88-11-5-2006

    I don't get around to making puzzles very much any more, so here are 20 all at once!
    Enjoy!

    Pretty fun - some weird clues, but it's all there...

  3. FileGarlicmartinp13 on Wed Nov 05, 2008 07:22 PM

    No joy on #1 and #14, I think I have the rest.

  4. FilePepperslog on Wed Nov 05, 2008 07:23 PM

    Stuck on 1, 6, and 14.

    I really, really hope I don't have any typos.

  5. Avatar_12-08Pancakesthreehojos on Wed Nov 05, 2008 07:26 PM

    #1 and #6 have me stumped!

    Edit: I love post 'n solve!

  6. FileDuckienrkii on Wed Nov 05, 2008 07:26 PM

    2 and 14 are hanging me up..

    For #1, that's not a pond

  7. 1981709Sailboatjgf on Wed Nov 05, 2008 07:26 PM

    [3] #1 The clue has 3 pictures, which correspond to the 3 words in the answer. No preposition involved.

    #14 They were a hip hop group. I don't really get the (1/2) clue. Notice the position of the shaker relative to the vegetable.

    I'm stuck on 6, 12, 20.

  8. FileGarlicmartinp13 on Wed Nov 05, 2008 07:26 PM

    #1 is three words.

    #6 is a phrase from years ago, involving two superpowers.

    #14 is a matter of describing the picture in words, then applying the various modifiers.

  9. Donimo_pirate_beatlesEggDonimo on Wed Nov 05, 2008 07:26 PM

    I agree with 6 and 14.

    If you can't get 1, then you ta blame.

  10. FileGarlicmartinp13 on Wed Nov 05, 2008 07:27 PM

    #20 involves their age group.

    #12 is two words. Type what you see.

  11. 1981709Sailboatjgf on Wed Nov 05, 2008 07:27 PM

    [6] #2 Google the Latin. The town has a new name.

  12. Avatar_12-08Pancakesthreehojos on Wed Nov 05, 2008 07:28 PM

    Exsaltlent puzzle pb! :)

  13. FilePepperslog on Wed Nov 05, 2008 07:31 PM

    [6], [7], [8] Thanks for the salt!

    Unfortunately, I have something spelled wrong after all...

  14. PirateleadfootPumpkinleadfoot on Wed Nov 05, 2008 07:32 PM

    Hope you all like it

    I had a lot of input from the other moderators.

  15. 1981709Sailboatjgf on Wed Nov 05, 2008 07:43 PM

    Maybe I have #4 wrong because I don't know how [10]'s salt for #20 fits.

    Edit: n/m. Thanks for the help, martin. I still have a spelling error somewhere...

  16. PirateleadfootPumpkinleadfoot on Wed Nov 05, 2008 07:43 PM

    if you want spelling verification.. send me a TG and I'll validate - - - or nudge....

  17. FilePepperslog on Wed Nov 05, 2008 07:48 PM

    [16] TG sent.

  18. 6-9-06Xylophonehouck on Wed Nov 05, 2008 08:02 PM

    Have I spelled something wrong or is #12 fooling me?

  19. PirateleadfootPumpkinleadfoot on Wed Nov 05, 2008 08:08 PM

    [18]
    I'll be happy to check your answers for you if you send them to me.

  20. FileDuckiedavey3 on Wed Nov 05, 2008 08:22 PM

    Nice one leadfoot!

    Can't believe it's been two years already ... thanks for all the fun.

  21. OctopusPeppercomishcraig on Wed Nov 05, 2008 08:42 PM

    I'm stuck on 4 and 10

    Got them eventually

  22. PirateleadfootPumpkinleadfoot on Wed Nov 05, 2008 08:53 PM

    [20] time flies when you're having fun!

    -will check back in the morning
    'gnite

  23. OsmiumSailboatosmium on Fri Nov 07, 2008 11:04 AM

    #6 is still throwing me.

    [25][26] That did it...thanks!

  24. FileDuckiespoofme on Wed Nov 05, 2008 09:43 PM

    [23] thats the one that I am missing too... :(

    EDIT: [25] thanks!

  25. 6-9-06Xylophonehouck on Wed Nov 05, 2008 09:30 PM

    Be strategic in figuring out what the shaker is doing,

    and see [8]'s salt

  26. 1981709Sailboatjgf on Wed Nov 05, 2008 10:45 PM

    [23][24] I learned about #6 by playing Twilight Struggle. They were arms control negotiations during the cold war.

  27. FileOnionRickj4029 on Thu Nov 06, 2008 12:20 AM

    You were the 90th Tanga member to solve it. You earned 31 points for solving this.

    This was definitely not easy and since it took so long, I'm not sure it was worth the effort.

    90th at 2:20 AM! Unbelievable.

  28. Almost-sold-out-product2OnionDrewO on Thu Nov 06, 2008 10:12 AM

    I'm stuck on #1. Any more help other than it being three words?

  29. New_scout_logoCheeseburgerscoutmom on Thu Nov 06, 2008 11:40 AM

    [28] could never understand how a team from that city could be called the Jazz.

  30. Almost-sold-out-product2OnionDrewO on Thu Nov 06, 2008 12:36 PM

    [29] Thanks, I thought it was a bay. DUH!

  31. Sc002a57f6Pumpkinrunart on Thu Nov 06, 2008 04:35 PM

    Leadfoot, that cluing is phenomenal. Make us more puzzles.

  32. Pretzel3_profileTomatoDavmar on Thu Nov 06, 2008 06:59 PM

    Happy Anniversary Tanga!

  33. PirateleadfootPumpkinleadfoot on Thu Nov 06, 2008 07:38 PM

    All thanks to redjack11

  34. AvatarDuckiesteph_frolin on Thu Nov 06, 2008 08:22 PM

    I had Alladin stuck in my head..."Sultan Sea"?

    Excellent puzzle pB

  35. Avatar_profileCarrotkulaid on Thu Nov 06, 2008 08:39 PM

    [29] because then team was moved from New Orleans

  36. FilePumpkinJohnQ118 on Sun Nov 16, 2008 12:57 AM

    #15??
    nm - "Circus of the Sun"

  37. ProtoconSailboatholdenbj on Wed Feb 24, 2010 06:31 PM

    Second time I have been stuck on the volume containing book of psalms word. (now number 12) You would think I would learn it already! This one was clued clearly enough that it wasn't a long delay though.

  38. Avatar_profileCherriesSusal on Sun Jan 02, 2011 09:08 PM

    too tough for us!
