Jun 04, 2010 Hypercross Puzzle

No clue of how to enter the answers......I think I have the theme, tho....

Nice puzzle!

[1] I'm right there with you. While we're puzzling at it, though... like my garlic? :)

Two great solves today and then this one... I have some ideas but no real clue.

Got hung up on an alternate spelling for #9. Really nice puzzle!

[3] nice garlic. I think it's keeping away my ability to solve this though.

[1], [3] You may be slightly off track on the theme if the answer format isn't apparent.

Are you of the blood-thirsty variety, [6]? I had no idea! :)

[5] At least someone knows what to do. I tried just spelling what I saw but that only worked for 2 or 3 and then messed up crossings...

[7] Obviously... :)

[7] Then how about some insight?!

[3] yes very nice garlic...much more deserving than i....

[9] Well, there are two of a kind in each clue....

Nice! I loved this! It wasn't that difficult once I got to clue 3...

[11] That much is obvious...

[13] But what do you CALL two of a kind ?

[11] was enough! but thanks for the continued prodding! My brain must have been paralyzed.

[7] i think you're right, cuz still not fitting....

[7] i think you're right, cuz still not fitting....

[11] Thank you!!!

Ahhh!! This puzzle is simply brilliant, chupper. It says when you create a hyper to not give too much away in your title. Your title was perfect even if it would have stumped me without a little nudge from soccer_ref (thanks, girl!).

[5] My spelling problem was on #6 but that's just because I guessed.

BTW, other folks, the fact that some of the double clues are spelled differently from each other doesn't matter. When you have two of a kind, you have a ...

[edit] ok, never mind!

[14] seems a little over-salty.
[20] is waaay too much!

IMO.

Awesome puzzle, Chupper!

[14] Thank you. I wish I got the theme earlier then I would have made STU today. Now it will have to wait until Monday.

well done, i wish i could solve two of these

OMG that was kinda tough, but outstanding Chupper!!!!!!

Well, I certainly feel stupid!

However, after nearly 40 minutes, I was still 79th so I must be keeping good company.

Excellent puzzle!

And thanks [14] for the little push I needed to see the theme properly.

Well, it took me a while, but that was a brilliant puzzle!!! Nicely done!

once i got the theme i was doing just fine... but #8 is killing me! i know the animal but it doesnt make a word. (and yes i have the right animal - found her cute little pic on google)

Grrrrr got the theme and I think I have answers for everything but something not taking...

Nice one. Thanks!

Outstanding puzzle! Perfect clues - after the aha moment, of course.

[28] think in more general terms . . .

Thanks gang, I had fun with this one! And thanks to Arnott for modding with a touch from M'doc

[28] the guards on the castle walls might have those pix with them

nice one

still not getting the theme - I mean it is obvious what each picture has in common but that isn't getting me anywhere.

Aha! Had an alternate spelling for number 13, but credit to Chuppers, the alternate spelling didn't cross correctly. My favorite Hyper in a good while!

HEY I made STU tonite by working old HCs, 5 points at a time so [22]mcroe316 there's still hope for you too.

thank you [32] & [33]! as i was trying to figure it out a friend of mine came along and saw the answer quickly!!! typical... great puzzle chupper!

[14] two of a kind, working on a full house? LOL
Cool puzzle, a real brain twister for a while! Thanx. :)

I'm not getting 9. Am I over-thinking it? Anyone still around to help?

nevermind, got it

9 has me stumped. I might need more coffee.

Re #9: What might you call well known sentences such as these?

this one made my brain cry

A fun and logical puzzle. I only wish I didn't need salt to get started.

This would have been easier if only I were a Tanga Cadet.

Nice one. Fun solve. The 2 "piers" did it for me.

Seven days after joining I find out you can't check your answers on less than a complete puzzle! Now to go back and do all the ones I thought I had no clue about.

the 298th Tanga member to solve it. Brilliant, but needed [14]'s salt....
