Sep 20, 2010 Hypercross Puzzle

Very nice theme, though I admit I didn't get it until #14!

Very, VERY, well clued.

you missed one of my favorites......SQUIRREL!

[1] Me neither although it came to me without me actually testing it on any of the words.

Good-bye pumpkin! Hello eggplant! :)

Fun..easy :-)

haha nice! didnt get it til the end, but very clever!

Low stress--tonight everyone should have low-sodium diets :) More about speed than tough puzzling. They were a little tricky in a couple spots, but it was a nice change from the tough ones lately!

Crypto: 12th
WWO: 65th
Hyper: 92nd

..just 15 minutes in! Fun night, all!

can't get 5 across...

Got the theme by #7 but there were 3 I had trouble on so I only got 109th.

couldn't get #7 until I solved #14

[8] Tea Party

ha! I got it on the 13th clue!

[8] #5 is a bit tricky, but #6 fixes the tricky spelling

[9] & [10] haha...I got #7 before I could figure the theme, but #9 had me stumped for a bit. #5 was a lot easier after I stopped trying to say "baint" :)

I think I have them all but it is not taking. Anyone care to check my answers?

Edit: Nothing like asking for help to make you spot your own typos - found out my error.
Thanks for offering [16]

[15] TG what you have and I'll check if you'd like

Edit: Glad you got it! Congrats :)

I got #5 now, but for some reason it's telling me I have the wrong answer. Everything is spelled right and seems to fit for me...

Nice one! Took a few clues to get the word but it finally dawned on me.

I just noticed I've become a Tanga potato (I think). Or maybe a Tanga rock?

i solved it and all my answers are correct, but i don't get how #1 fits the theme. can anyone help me without giving anything away to folks who haven't solved yet?

[19] TG'd

the 159th Tanga member to solve it. You earned 20 points for solving this.

I was stuck on #3. [19] It's a soap I think.

[19] i can't even get #1

[18] Yes, you're a potato! See this discussion for a list of the "fruits":

Great clues, great puzzle.

Cool concept, nicely clued, Philana.

Crypto + OWW + Hyper in less than 7 minutes. To bad I got a late start.

(This is in contrast to the 19 hours it took me to do dkbursjr's Autobot OWW on Saturday.)

You solved this puzzle in 0 seconds and were the 217th Tanga member to solve it. You earned 20 points for solving this.

Wow - zero seconds? Hyperfast...

#11 was the only one i need to figure out # 14

[edit] And I was wrong!

[26] yeah, i got the 0 seconds too. what's with that?

This was my first hypercross. Lots of fun!

AH Why can I not get #8. Can anyone give me a hint?

[29] Skull and Bones is one.

[30] THANK YOU!!! As soon as I saw your post I knew what it was. THANKS again!

[1] was all I read.. pretty much answered everything... TY

stuck on 3, 5, and 11...
