    It was with great honor that I accepted Arnott's invitation to create an end-of-year triptych. I hope you enjoy all 3 puzzles. See also:

    Loved the last clue!

  6. FileTomatoRagspur on Dec 28, 2010 07:09 PM

    Hard but fun!

  7. FileEggplantJohnS43 on Dec 28, 2010 07:10 PM

    Woo-hoo! 24th! Surprised I remembered all of these from H.S. chemistry (in the '60s!)

    Hey, that was fun! After the hypercross yesterday, it was nice to have one that I know something about.

  10. Avatar_profilePotatomarius20 on Dec 28, 2010 07:12 PM

    Liked that one. Thanks!

  11. FileClockJewelia on Dec 28, 2010 07:13 PM

    Very clever grid and final clue!

  12. FileGarlictwofalls on Dec 28, 2010 07:15 PM

    Very clever, especially the last clue! Thanks, jebediehard, and Happy New Year!

  13. MarkerryanCarrotryanker on Dec 28, 2010 07:21 PM

    75th here. Now to go back and try to figure out the last OWW step.

  14. OctopusPeppercomishcraig on Dec 28, 2010 07:38 PM

    OK...I admit it. I need help with the last clue. I've been looking at the chart and I don't see anything that fits the them of the puzzle. Salt?

    [15] Thanks. I got it. But I still don't know why.

  15. 6-9-06Xylophonehouck on Dec 28, 2010 07:30 PM

    teehee, the comment above me is one of the best ever! (please don't erase or flag it)

    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    79th! Yippiee my best ever (ok not really)

    but What a wonderful puzzle!! Thanks jebediehard. Loved it.

  16. BjDuckiedrlaura92 on Dec 28, 2010 07:33 PM

    Stuck on #15. Need help!

    Never mind. Post and solved. Managed 99! Under 100 on all three puzzles.

  17. TangaCarrotFalala on Dec 28, 2010 07:27 PM

    Anyone willing to check my answers? It's not taking.

  18. PompBananalosdisp on Dec 28, 2010 07:29 PM

    Hmm. I'm pretty sure I've got all these right but it's not taking. And yes, I'm also pretty sure I got the last one.

  19. 6-9-06Xylophonehouck on Dec 28, 2010 07:31 PM

    I'll check answers

    (I'm just watching some silly American football game on tv)

  20. TangaCarrotFalala on Dec 28, 2010 07:33 PM

    [19] Thanks, I just sent mine. Hope the game is a good one.

  21. PompBananalosdisp on Dec 28, 2010 07:34 PM

    There we go, I put the answers in again and I was right. Thanks for the offer though, [19].

  22. Oregon_ducksKiwiChrystyA on Dec 28, 2010 07:36 PM

    Dang - 102 - So close!! Fun puzzle!

  23. 100_1703Eggsonjahi on Dec 28, 2010 07:40 PM

    Gotta agree with [15]. [14] is great! :)

  24. FileTomatotlmitch7 on Dec 28, 2010 07:48 PM

    [19] Would you check mine as well, everything crosses, but it won't take.

    Edit: Nevermind, thanks [27] I realized what I had wrong.

  25. Bp3Eggendel3 on Dec 28, 2010 07:42 PM

    Nice puzzle!!!

  26. Avatar_profileOrangemsmtam on Dec 28, 2010 07:43 PM

    I can't get them to work. Pretty sure they are all right

  27. FilePotatoDandelion_Wine on Dec 28, 2010 07:43 PM

    DOH! Thanks to houck [19] for checking my answers. I had the final box wrong (thanks [14] for the hint - I was stuck on it) because I took it one step TOO far.

  28. 07310099PancakesLakeLivin on Dec 28, 2010 08:05 PM

    Agree with all the others, that last clue is great!

    Nice set of puzzles Jeb!

  29. FileCarrotmmene on Dec 28, 2010 08:05 PM

    awesome puzzle. great job.

  30. Avatar_profileKiwiKayAnders on Dec 28, 2010 08:07 PM

    I swear I have every one right and no typos, but it keeps telling me I'm wrong. D'oh!

  31. Avatar_959_jpg100_200x200RaspberryRocketeer on Dec 28, 2010 08:26 PM

    ! Excellent as always !

  32. Avatar_profileApplesteved on Dec 28, 2010 08:32 PM

    Very clever. Well done!

  33. ZipperAcejknauss72 on Dec 28, 2010 08:47 PM

    This has got to be my favorite hypercross ever. Well done!

  34. FilePumpkinRickj4029 on Dec 28, 2010 08:50 PM

    HYPERS THAT DON'T HAVE LETTERS OR THAT DON'T FORM REAL WORDS ARE A WASTE OF TIME!

    WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO GOOGLE PERIODIC TABLE SYMBOLS JUST TO COMPLETE A NONSENSE PUZZLE?

    NOT GONNA DO IT!!

  35. Avatar_profileGrapeshokiecat on Dec 28, 2010 08:58 PM

    Awesome!!! It is great to put that high school chemistry to work.

  36. Avatar_profileGrapeshokiecat on Dec 28, 2010 08:58 PM

    [34] Haters gotta hate

  37. Avatar_profileCherriesOwlThatGlitters on Dec 28, 2010 09:18 PM

    Help! I'm stuck on the last clue. Could someone give me a hint, please? Thanks!

  38. Panda-flyGarlicpandapal on Dec 28, 2010 09:54 PM

    Great!!!!!

  39. 986375337_mSailboatStereoMike on Dec 28, 2010 10:14 PM

    [37] There is a clue in the grid itself if you have the answers correct...

    Have to say I loved this most excellent challenge! Well done!

  40. FilePumpkinRickj4029 on Dec 28, 2010 10:32 PM

    [36] Got nothing to do with hating, just common sense.

  41. Avatar_profilePlumegates on Dec 29, 2010 12:48 AM

    I'm missing something here. I see the elements that go with each clue, but can't make them fit the grid. Any salt?

  42. ToothAppleplacidfury on Dec 29, 2010 01:19 AM

    [41] Sent you a TG.

  43. Avatar_profilePlumegates on Dec 29, 2010 01:37 AM

    Thank you Angie!! [42] That last clue was a bit of an understatement for me. Maybe it's because it's 1:30 in the morning...now I can sleep.

  44. ToothAppleplacidfury on Dec 29, 2010 02:27 AM

    Have to agree with [40] on this one.
    I always assume the answers are going to be real words, unless stated otherwise. The last clue was super clever but the climax was less than what it could have been because I was so done with the insanely repetitive referencing and initial first two hours of ,"Huh?"
    Keep'em comin' though, Jeb. Working on figuring out your style.

  45. FileCarrotbaristabob on Dec 29, 2010 05:54 AM

    very well done!

  46. AnguseyeaCarrotbamar on Dec 29, 2010 06:44 AM

    Loved it all but particularly the last one. It was so....tanga.

  47. Avatar_profileRocketslyreptile on Dec 29, 2010 06:50 AM

    meh...not sure it was worth my time, but ptable.com is pretty slick!

  48. 100_1703Eggsonjahi on Dec 29, 2010 11:41 AM

    Hmmm... Guess it's a matter of one's familiarity with the periodic table... I didn't have to google any of them and found it all quite enjoyable. They were all common elements. It's not like he asked for Rutherforium or Berkelium or something. *shrug* Thanks again for the great puzzle, jeb!

  49. MarkerryanCarrotryanker on Dec 29, 2010 01:37 PM

    Reminds me of this... http://xkcd.com/18/

  50. Dsc00625Grapesmilncoln on Dec 29, 2010 02:15 PM

    can someone tg me some please, not sure what to do here, i figured out all the elements but they don't fit in the spaces

  51. FilePotatoMihmoos on Dec 29, 2010 02:47 PM

    [50] TG sent

  52. Avatar_profileLemonxxunluv3dlizxx on Dec 29, 2010 04:34 PM

    I don't understand how to do these puzzles, i looked in the faqs and i'm pretty sure i understand what the clues mean but they don't fit.

    anyone willing to give me a hint to understand these things? lol

  53. KittylolxRocketjohanna on Dec 29, 2010 05:20 PM

    oh whimper. I know all the elements and their symbols but not getting the Ah Ha moment of how to use them. Post and the Ah Ha arrives. Oh DUH!

  54. FilePancakesArnott (Tanga Admin) on Dec 29, 2010 05:50 PM

    [53] When you typed Ah Ha like that - separated into two words, and with caps - I immediately though, "Oh... what elements are those?"

  55. Christopher_david_ryan_-_eyeGarlickc6201 on Dec 29, 2010 06:53 PM

    Nice puzzle, and the last one was very clever!

  56. YodaRocketstpitner on Dec 29, 2010 06:58 PM

    I thought for sure the last one was sodium chloride...

  57. Avatar_profileKiwiKayAnders on Jan 03, 2011 06:54 PM

    I did this the other day and it didn't work. I triple checked everything for typos, even cleaned it out and started it over, and it would not work. I gave up and a walked away, just did it with the *exact* same answers and it worked! Computer weirdness!

  58. Diana___wwAppleWonderGeekWoman on Jan 07, 2011 02:41 PM

    ooo, i love this one!! very fun!
