Jan 10, 2011 Hypercross Puzzle

LOVED #18! (Oops, I meant #13. Actually, it was a great puzzle!)

Loved them all!

24th. Had #1 misspelled!

You say 9, and I say 10, let's call the whole thing off! (Very funny, J.)

[1] I must have missed a few---actually I missed them all, but didn't see 18

Clever, I liked it!

[1] Yes, #18 was excellent, but they were all great! ;-)

Lotsa fun!

[5] Are you as lost as I am tonight?

[9] loster....

Nice one Jeb. I think you need a little accent to make a few of them sound right - perhaps a Canadian accent?

I like how I did the whole puzzle and never noticed the similarity between 10 and 11. I think my favorite was 13 though. I was a little too self-centered for just a second.

You solved this puzzle in 0 seconds and were the 32nd Tanga member to solve it.

That was fun.
Also, you may want to, at one point, remember what a heteronym is. Just saying.

Awesome.

I'm still confused, obviously the minority. Salt?

Took me a few minutes to see it. #2 got it for me.

I was with this one until #9

This was a FUN hyper !!

still no clue n this or the oww--bad night for me....
groan on the oww

[21]...thanks...still no joy..back in the AM

edit--ugh

Had to go back and actually read #12 after the solve... call me a glutton for masochism.

[19] Check your tg's

Whew... just made it under the wire at 99th.

This was a nice one.

Took a bit but a snap once you get the joke :) 120th. Wooo

Was pretty hard to get the theme - I am not quite sure how it connects to the title. But I got it eventually and the rest was pretty easy.

Still need some salt......thanks

[21], sent a TG...

I enjoyed this puzzle a lot. I didn't have to be from Finland to get it done.

Huh. Absolutely no clue where to even start with this one unfortunately.

Love this one! So much fun after the Aha! moment.

[28] think about how you describe something that is kinda this or kinda that...you'll get there!

[9],[10] lostest!

cant get 12 or 7

got 12

p,p&s

[29] thanks, that did it for me

#3 on crypto - best yet!!

ouch my sleepy head can't groove on this nugget

got it! had number 7 mispelled lol

Couldn't have done it with out you [29], thank you!

I was looking for the ah-ha moment, but all i can come up with is the huh? moments totally lost

Not hearing it :(

Lost. Absolutely lost. TG anyone?

[40] I'm with you, and I usually get these......TG please

Edit: Nevermind...Got it as soon as I put this up.....The difficulty of this puzzle that jeb had to publish does not diminish how foolish it made me feel, but yet, I will not help anyone because I am very selfish when it comes to rubbish like this.

Completely lost. TG please!

[41] Very entertaining salt, VinDish... I mean, VinDash.
[40][42] and anyone else lost... pay attention to what [29] asked. There's something you need to do to each clue based on the title (expounded slightly by [29]). If you can't figure it out from there, then look at what [41] said. That looks like very strange use of English to complain or maybe a fetish for words that rhyme, but s/he is telling you what you need to know to accomplish a solve. You can TG me for help if this doesn't do it.

the 267th Tanga member to solve it. You earned 20 points for solving this. Needed some help with this one, now I agree with [41].......I'm very selfish when it comes to rubbish like this.

i think i got them all but it says i dont... help?

hmm, don't know why 'painful' doesn't fit for #12.

[45] You can send me your list if you'd like.

Thanks for the salt! Now to hunker down and prepare for the snowfall that's headed toward the east coast.

[29] totally helped, thanks... but I'm mispelling something I guess. I have them all but not working. :(

FINALLY.

Very nice Jeb. Love it when an HC isn't just an exercise in googling.

#`10, 11 threw me for a bit of a loop. Wasn't quite sure I was on the right track.

*SIGH* Finally got it, thanks to all the help. It's funny how something so obvious (now) eluded me for so long. Shoulda had it without the help. :)

Ugh! I live with the biggest punster...I can't believe I didn't get this right away!!!

GREAT puzzle! I think it's my favorite Hypercross ever! Thanks, jebediehard!

Blech! nice clues, but the topic was "kinda" rubbish!

This was fun! Didn't get to it until this afternoon (I don't try to solve hypercrosses early--though I've been getting them, so maybe I should change that :) I got the basic concept (ish -- that you had to do something to each clue to make it an adjective) but was about a quarter to half the way through before I realized the rule was more consistent than that.

Last ones were #9 (I picked the wrong nursery rhyme, and had to google for the first line of the right one) and
...probably #13.

Not bad!

Wonderful puzzle!
I had a moment with #7 and thought to myself "no couldn't be...." then "oh what the heck, why not try it" and it was right.

That was the funnest puzzle I've done yet!

Felt realliy foolish at first but relished the whole thing finally

Just wanted to add a quick note, since I have been griping on jebediehard's puzzles in the last few days... I really enjoyed this one and had a great time solving it! Got a chuckle each time I typed in an answer. Nice!

i'm getting the same answer for #10 and #11, any salt here?
