2nd! Good stuff! Can't fool me!

Fun clues!
#6 is great.

Needed to look up #1 and #10, but the pieces worked quickly.

Great clues! #6 was the last one I figured out, and it's my favorite.

23rd. Took me a long time to work out the first six letters of #2 (which it turns out are not "Disney").

any salt for #2?

Stumped on #7 and #8...and not sure about #6 (and I speak a little Russian!)

Well..I got #6...still working on #7 and #8

[6] Google maps is always helpful for map clues.

All but #10

Got it! Lot's of fun and a great theme for the day!

Haven't got #7 yet

any help with #6?

got it - [7] was just salty enough

[9] #10 is a song

Thanks, all. I'm just disappointed I couldn't think of a good clue for Mr. T's tag line...

Very cool puzzle. Not easy, but not insanely difficult, either.

I'm still stuck on #7. Salt anyone?

[11][16] He is going ____ in a circle.

[17] Thanks.

I still can't figure out the second half on #6

Yikes, spent 10 minutes or so Googling the phrases in 6, trying to find a pattern, then all in a sudden it clicked with a forehead slap.

[12] is correct, [7] is really all the salt you'll need for this one.

I'm with [16] can't get #7 - probably simple and I'm overthinking it

NM post and solve....lovely puzzle, thank you

I was 119th....little harder then most thought I think - but a good one

A really fun puzzle!

Thanks Doc!

What messed me up with #7 was confusing the jester's staff for a second jester

Great one! #6 was definitely a D'oh!! moment!

I really need to brush up on my geography.

#6 #7 #8 are the stumpers here.
Any clues given?

thks [17] for #7

[26] #6 is something about geography and/or a little bit of speaking Russian, but I still don't get it.

edit: thanks [28] I feel so foolish

[27] You've actually got it... just need to realize what you are saying.

[26] For #8, what would you call what you see on the right side of the clue image?

I'm actually surprised none of the mathy people around here said anything about that clue. LOL

wow - #6 really is a D'oh! moment! Had to talk myself through it.

okok TY! I had an FOOLish error on #10 which screwed up my crosses. NOW I got it complete.

And to make matters better - I had two last-minute job interviews yesterday and got an offer to work! (at the CA Academy of Sciences)
-so only three months on the unemployment line (my last supervisor says they were FOOLish to let me go...).
