Awesome puzzle Philana! Always so creative and fun!

Required a little brainpower, but not too much. Love 'em like that!

under 100th on all 3. Yahoo

[3] congrats, me too. First time in a long time. Fun puzzle(s) Philana

4?

I apparently don't know what kind of chair that is in 8. At least...it doesn't match with my #9...and I can't solve

[5] #4 is tough, it's not as much what the pictures on the right are of, but what they are.

[5] Think Andy Warhol for the 2nd half

I didn't like 4....last pic just isn't a good representation of what the answer is..IMO

[6] I had it wrong at first too. It belongs on a cruise ship.

Gosh, I just LOVE this kind of puzzle! Thankyou Philana! Make more please.

[7] and [8] I am certain that that is wonderful salt unfortunately I still don't get it

on #4, the left side isn't cola, it isn't Coke, it is...

That chair gave me fits too but not as much as the football player. Finally got them though. This was a great puzzle, Philana!

[12] instead of those volkswagons, imagine that the Mona Lisa is there instead

[13] I think that means that I have the first oart correct. the last part still has me stumped. Thanks

[16] TG sent

I would never have got #4 if not for google - I have to agree with [9]. But if a dummy like me can get it I guess anyone can - managed to get all three answers in the top 100 but just barely with this one.

AHA. All of the salt did help! Thanks guys

[17] Thanks I'll check it now :)

LOTS of FUN!!

I think I have everything but it isn't taking!!!

[23] Thanks!

2 out 3 in the top 100 isn't bad!

[22] If you want to TG me what you've got, I'll see if I can help.

[15] Hmmm... I don't see how the Mona Lisa would fit the clue.

#11 is still driving me crazy - argh!

OM goodness gracious gosh - it's happened to me - post & solve, that is! I see comments about it All the time & thought yeah, right. But it is true!

[25] LOL

I hate to say this but #11 was terrible!

I kept tying to figure out how the spine could fit or the vertebrae or the discs or the cervical, thoracic or lumbar regions or the sacrum etc...

Something a dog might bury would have done the trick!!!!!

[27] Actually, it would not have done the trick at all.

There's a reason Philana put a FORTUNE COOKIE in the title of the puzzle and not just any ol' chocolate chip cookie.

If you look back at all the other clues, you will understand why that particular pic was needed in #11.

Can't get #11 for the life of me.
never mind, got it. sheesh! (hits forehead with hand)

#9 and #111 gave me pause. But I got through them.

Thanks, Philana. I enjoy wheel of fortune cookie puzzles.

I got caught up on two easy things: the food in 3 and the man in 9.

#4 gave me a fit. [8] gave the push I needed. Thanks!

For those still having trouble....the last word in #2 is NOT graph.

Ack!!! Got all but #11... not getting salt!! Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

This is my favorite one yet!

Technically #11's spine would have been more correct as a plural since one just refers to, well, one.

I struggled for a moment with the last one - just not familiar with one of those computery things to recognize what it was. (sigh).

Overall very nice!!

[36] It's true that the spine is made up up multiple vertebrae. But according to every reference I checked, the word xxxxxxxx does not mean a single vertebra but instead is a synonym of spine/spinal column/vertebral column.

However, I realize that you would know more than I do about the medical usage of that word.

[37] I don't disagree with your use of that spinal word - I just have a personal problem (no, not that) with certain words of this here language.
And "medical usage of that word", at least in my experience, doesn't formally exist as the more proper vertebrae, etc, are used anyway...

7 and 3 are making me crazy >:(

I am not a gamer so #12 had me stumped for a bit.

that was a lot of fun philana! thanks!
