Nov 13, 2010 Hypercross Puzzle

9th!

Stuck on 2, 3, 9, and 12---maybe more...

Don't overlook 3. 9 is magnified a bit. 12 is a cartoon.

2?

[3]..oops...missing 2 too, sorry...

[3]...great 3 salt!!!...still no joy on the others...

[2] #9 got me stuck for a minute, until I realized that #4 is not "denim".

[2][3] #2 is the last one I got... and only got it from seeing the other letters in the grid. The picture is a VERY poor representation... considering how many pictures there must be to choose from.

... and it's almost timely (though if you ask the malls, it's practically here already)...

(The same goes for #3... though it's timeliness is a few months off...)

[5]...thanks that did it for me!
edit--[6], agree....

#2 was taken at night....it is supposed to be green. (and seasonal)

(poor, poor picture..... to me it looked like some kind of fabric.)

I appreciate the job the mods do, but someone slipped up in letting the picture for #2 through. That made it an unfair puzzle, imho.

#2 would have been impossible without salt from [6]. It looks nothing like it at all.

Oh, good Lord - thank you! Actually, I guess the thanks go to Murdoctor. I had the same problem as [5] and I never, ever, ever would have gotten #2 without the salt. Definitely could have used a better pic.

But the rest of the puzzle was great - I got the rest without salt. Had to use the crossings for #3. EDIT: I lied. I needed the salt that told me #4 wasn't denim too.

[10] agree x2

#2 pop right out to me probably because i live so close to DC. but #3 is killing

[5] I did the same thing!

I don't know why you guys had trouble with #2. I didn't even need to think about it. Does it appear really dark to you or something? It's not really a version you'd have in your home. More like a large outdoors version you'd find in a town square.

[13] If the salt in [3] is not enough, then all I can say is "good luck."

Thank you [8] I had tried every four letter word I could think of but never even considered that. And salt from [3] was wonderful.

[13] I only got #3 because of the crossing. It's super magnified.

35th. Well i pieced together #3. and actually found the exact image on google. Looking back on salt from [3], i still dont get it. Thanks!

I got #2 from [6] alone. Even now that I know the answer, the pic STILL doesn't look like an example of the word. :-/

Salt for #7 please.

NM just got it with an AHA!!!

I agree with everyone about pic for #2. I thought it was either fabric or some weird representation of outer space! Guess we need a challenge on every puzzle and that was it. Nice clues otherwise. :)

Sorry about pic #2, guys! This was my first published hyper. [21], I see what you mean about it looking like fabric. That's what it looks like to me now, and I found the pic! : )

I'll be more discerning in the future.

Everything was pretty easy except #2. [6] gave great salt for it, thanks!

TangaAl, good job!

#2 took me forever. [6] had great salt that helped me get it though.

Thanks johninc [3], I now have that song stuck in my head! But I didn't get clue #3 until I read Erich's comment [15]. At first, I thought you were being mean and then the Aha hit me!

#3 had me stuck, but i got lucky

Maybe Günter can help you with #9.

Bah. Post and solve... nice.

Had no problem at all with #2. Needed the "not denim" salt to get #9. Fun puzzle. Sorry I was out of town during the release.

the 182nd Tanga member to solve it. You earned 5 points for solving this.

Had problems with #4 & #9, but it finally clicked. Thanks to TangaAl.

I am so confused where everyone is getting salt???
