Jun 29, 2011 Hypercross Puzzle

Nice! I got first!

I say the same thing to you, jargonista! Great job!

Stuck on #10 and since I don't get the theme... I don't have a clue. :)

Any salt for 10? Not really sure on 7,either.

[4] - Ah, thanks! Now it makes sense, although I think I would have clued that one way differently (sorry, jargonista). And #7 was kind of a stretch. But fun puzzle.

[2] [3] on 10: Use these to follow the thing that left them.

Ok, got #10 but something's wrong. Can someone check my answers?

Yeah, 7 and 10...they're not crossing right. I must have one or both wrong. I think I know 7, but it doesn't fit. Pretty sure on 10.

Edit: got the theme, now i think 10 is wrong. hmmm...

Finally got it. I couldn't get the wrong word for #10 out of my head.

[2] It's something a recipe can help with :)

EDIT: the theme, I mean

As usual a really dumb spelling error cost me many minutes (and points). Nice puzzle though.

I'm still trying to work out #2. I think I have the rest.

edit: got it. Was going the entirely wrong direction on that clue from the start. Tried making a certain term for male deer fit into it.

[5] I can check

Nice, I got 3rd solver, and had to come back after the OWW and figure out what the theme was...clever.

My day... just got a little better: 11th here, 3rd on the OWW!

[10] Thanks for the check. Went from a potential top 20 to 81st... Feel silly!

Still don't get the theme though.

Good puzzle! Thanks!

[13] Can't say as I do either... LOL

[13], [14], me either...

#2 is a real head scratcher. I think I have everything else though.

Edit: Oh wow. Ok. It's a parent to son interaction. I see.

The obvious answer to 7 obviously doesn't fit... what am I missing?

Can someone explain the theme to me? I can't seem to get 6 and 13, and it seems like it might help.

Just can't get #2, #6 and #10. Appreciate any salt.

Thanks for the TG on the theme! Consider what goes after the title when spoken by a certain bad a**. See if you can get it from there. That next phrase has a piece that can go with each of these.

[17] Go with a homonym for the word you get instead.
[16] What do parents give their children every week for chores they've done?

Finally got the theme after 20 minutes.....groan.

#6 - you basically subtract the entire second word from her name.
#10 - see comment [4]
#13 - Dude? Where were you in the 60's? _____, not war!

is it me or is #7 usually spelled different? possibly I'm looking at the wrong thing.

edit: it is until you actually "get" the theme.

[4] - thanks I finally got it.
Still did not get the theme.

UGH...12 is not "notes".....still no clue on the theme, but I don't care anymore, I don't care anymore....

edit: think I have the theme, but kind of loose...never heard it for 6 e.g.

[24] Yes - they clued a homonym. I assume it was deliberate.

Can't get #2...or the theme.

[27] Did you see my salt for #2 in [20]? (Responding to [16])

[27] It's what kids get on Saturdays if they have done their chores....but it's the plural.

[23] Yes, #7 is a homonym... it took me a while to figure that one out too...

Thanks [28], I hadn't seen that. Of course now that means i have #12 wrong.

Wow, P&S. I was trying every slang term I could think of instead of the obvious.

I cannot get #10. I've read [4] and still don't get it. I'm dense.

Got it, finally.

This is the first time Ive finished a hyper without understanding the theme. Someone mind TG'ing me the theme?

Thanks Sonjahi for [20] ... #7 would have been easier if I had not been stuck on "prints" for #10

I think #12 would have been better clued if they were not all $100 bills

I have solved the hyper, but still don't get what the theme is, can somebody send me a TG?

Thanks, Dana

Finished the puzzle but no idea as to the theme. Can someone please TG me with it? I'm lost.....

Glad I wasn't the only one who had #12 wrong initially.

I also didn't get the theme without salt. I figured the 2 words that were separated from the hyper had special meaning in terms of figuring out the theme, but I guess they just didn't fit. But that's weird, because I can see a place where they'd fit.

[36] TG sent

#8 isnt a pack of lions grrr

I'm stuck on #12 as well and do not get the theme. Could someone toss me a TG too?

[40] #12 is really pretty simple. It's the most general term for what you see. Maybe it would have been clearer if they hadn't all been the same denomination. Imagine that there are $1, $5, and $20 bills too and maybe some coins and some foreign bills too. What are all those things called?

I'll send you a TG on the theme.

I still do not get the theme. Got them all but have no idea how they fit together. Could someone TG me.

Can someone check my answers? It's not taking.

Also, some help understanding the theme would be nice.

Thanks

EDIT: Got it! #4 isn't "water". Still don't get the theme though...

The theme is "Make...". If anybody thinks that's too much you can flag it, but I don't think the clue to the theme is very strong here.

Help! I still don't get #7?!

#12 is not notes, as in C-notes!

337th isn't bad for my first time!

OMG OMG, I actually solved a puzzle........ I'm in shock!! Thank You....
