Oct 13, 2011 Hypercross Puzzle

Gosh, I loved clue #7 in particular. That was awesome!

Nicely done, armyknife!

Cute! Thanks, armyknife!

woohoo

#3 might be obscure for some.... He's apparently a jerk?

[5] Huh?

Easy and fun.

[5] There's enough there to google.

[8] No, I know who the guy is, I just don't understand the comment on it.

Oh, must have missed that episode...

Other people were awfully fast!
(I have seen this or something awfully close to this in an old puzzle.)

#3 was really obscure (albeit searchable). I probably would've gone with a former president instead, or maybe a Cheers bartender if you wanted to keep the D.
And then I got stuck on #12 not realizing that it was just asking for the overall theme. Not a good night for me.

Could someone explain 12 to me? NM

[9] I was responding to [5] as well, not to you.

Great puzzle! This was really fun! The theme clicked for me on #5.

Wicked cute! (Except maybe for the spelling of #4.) I love the set/environment notation in #12, too!

One little beef.

#11 is not one of those despite everyone's insistence to want to stick the word on the end of it.

[15] The spelling for #4 is correct - it's a name brand. I once made a OWW using candy and I spelled this particular one with a Y, and wanted to use the Y in the answer too. The mod pointed out I had the spelling wrong (they were right - I checked!).

I suspect the crossing on that last letter was very deliberate since you and I are probably not the only ones that try to misspell it. (Although I no longer do, thanks to that puzzle. ;)

[16] Will you send me a TG explaining? I looked up the animal in Wikipedia and it looks like the one clued and it named what the puzzle is going for... so... I trust your judgement on Australia more than Wikipedia's, I'm just curious.

Apparently, I am really thick and need some NaCL for 12, even with two letters I cannot fathom what they are looking for. Thanks

I am stuck on #1 and #12. Can anyone give me some salt please.

I guessed at 12 based on the theme, but I don't get it

ahhhhhhh have an answer for all, but still not right??? #1 and #12 not making 100% sense...

Technically #9 is "Reverse Warrior" But there wasn't enough spaces for it.

Those not getting #12 or the theme. Think of a jungle book song .

[18] check the wiki article under names ...

[18] I think what [16] means is that the answer to #11 technically doesn't fit the theme, not that the picture in #11 doesn't correspond to the answer for #11.

It's tough for me to explain without being salty.

You are a freaking genius!! You solved this puzzle.

No idea how #12 was clued, got lucky

This has been frustrating me all day. I feel like I have theme, all the answers and everything spelled correctly but it is not taking. It is probably something silly I'm missing but it is driving me crazy.

[28] I second that, have come back to this 3 times.... just cant see whats wrong
