Jun 10, 2010 Hypercross Puzzle

Great idea!

3rd here and the crypto! Yeah! And I only had to google two of the Britsh ones!

Luckily I've a little of both in me. ;-)
...
Now what's this supposed to mean?
"You got it! But we're not going to save your answer."

Probably easier for us foreigners who need to be familiar with both.
Thanks Philana, flew through that one.

Can I call myself bilingual?

Didn't know #8, needed reminding on #13 and figured out #12 from the crossings!...

[3] That's leftover wording from when the hyper answers weren't saved after you solved them.

WOO HOO YIPPEEIAY You solved this puzzle in 0 seconds and were the 42nd Tanga member to solve it. YOWSER! I loved this one, Philana - thanx! I only had to google the game. I am a bit of an Anglophile but my brain is sometimes on pause by this time after watching Thomas the Tank Engine, SpongeBob SquarePants and Toy Stories 1 & 2 all day w/RJ! The Mr. & I got in from our nightly bike ride just in time for tangatime. :)

that was good! thanks!!

Hmmm, must have a misspelling somewhere.

Fun Fun Puzzle Puzzle!

(3) That happened to me when i was not signed in and had solved..

Wow, nice... I can't believe I didn't have to look any of those up... must have heard them at one time or another. The baby item was the only one I needed to "skip til the end". :)

Great puzzle

I submitted a very similar one a week ago so I'm thinking it will need some modifying as many of the words are the same as yours.

I'll have to put my thinking cap on.

probably the easiest hyper i've done.

a little worried i'm more familiar with the american terms though D:

Very clever puzzle.

I solved it in 0 seconds ? Wow ! Am I surpised ! If I go a little faster, maybe time can go backwards.

[3][12] That also happens if you've already solved it. "But the answers are already there if you've solved it!" you say?

Once, I was solving on the laptop while my husband solved on the desktop. He finished the hyper before me. When I finished the hyper, I got that message. I was stumped! What I had failed to notice was that my husband was actually the last person to log-in to tanga from the laptop so I was using his log-in! Since I accessed the hyper before he solved it, I found myself in a weird twilight zone situation. "He" did very well on the crypto and OWW that night (thanks to me) and by the time I figured it out, logged out & in, and input all the answers again, I was out of the top 100 on all of them! :)

You missed a good opportunity to work in a soccer - excuse me, football - reference.

That was awesome! I knew everything but the last one. Not bad for an American! :)

Good one, got all except 14, had to look that one up..

Cheerio!

I thought you might use Noughts & Crosses--one of my favorites.

Biffing good fun!

Not so separated. I got the all in the first go.
Another of my favorites that didn't make the puzzle is 'knock-shop' ; but then this is a family website.

Nice. I always knew my knowledge of British English would come in useful for something (besides visiting Britain...).

[20] I never 'eard of #14.

Thank goodness I watch so much BBC shows! Nice puzzle.
