Mar 20, 2009 Hypercross Puzzle

This puzzle made me grin!

it would make me grin except 12 has me stumped. Got it as soon as I said something, but still have something wrong...which I think is the brain one

[2] The person is going to testify, but he is not the accused.

Now somebody help me with #11...

Need some salt on #8.

[2] Same here is there help for 13

[3] It's not an octopus.

Need salt for #13.

NM..Post and solve. It's not "brain". Use another word.

[4] No help needed, the clue is super.

I think I have them all, but it isn't taking. Anyone willing to check my list?

NM. I had the last one wrong- it isn't bear-brains.

[6]Huh?

[3] Thanks!!

[10] It's something I've never heard of, but I have heard of the octopus version.

[8] Thanks

[5] What where?

[9] Sure.

Bear with me, but I thought the puzzle was a little too cutesy for my taste.

Dup

Another dup

Last dup...sorry.

I always though that #1 was the constitutional amendment allowing us to wear sleeveless shirts.

[16]-[19] As punishment, you must salt #13.

[20] Take note of the location of the bear. The last one doesn't follow the same pattern as the others.

[20] To semi-quote a famous public address spot for college... a BEAR is a terrible thing to waste.

[21] [22] Thanks!

[22] but that's not a black bear

would anyone be willing to check my answers?

#13 not the same number of words as the rest

I have the same question as [25] is anyone willing to check mine? I thought I had them all and it's not taking - thanks

[25] [27] I can.

[28] thank you Ever so much!

I can't figure out what I have wrong?

Any help with # 3
I suspect thatis my eror

[31] #3 is exactly what you see....don't have a clue what it really is, but....
