    As a freaking genius, I offer this salt...

    Wow... some of those were tough.

  3. FileRadishThosw on Wed Nov 28, 2007 07:26 PM

    Not that it has any bearing on the puzzle, but the skeleton is of the dodo.

  4. FilePlumicyplatypus on Wed Nov 28, 2007 07:29 PM

    A man, a plan, a canal, Panama.

  5. FileEggplantouredman on Wed Nov 28, 2007 07:29 PM

    [1] great link

  6. FilePotatoDandelion_Wine on Wed Nov 28, 2007 07:42 PM

    Wow - you can say that again md [2]!

  7. FileRaspberryMarkel on Wed Nov 28, 2007 07:43 PM

    I think an even better list is at:
    http://www.palindromelist.com

  8. Avatar_profileRocketdaw65 on Wed Nov 28, 2007 07:45 PM

    [7] I ended up using that list, and I'm filled in, but something's not correct. And I can't figure out what.

    the girl ones stump me and the flight school... is this part of puzzlethon?

    ...got it

  10. FileRaspberryMarkel on Wed Nov 28, 2007 07:48 PM

    I found two "answers" to the flight school clue, but the answer that is accepted fits the clue better than the one with "Bob" in it.

  11. Avatar_profileRocketdaw65 on Wed Nov 28, 2007 07:59 PM

    [10] Ah, thank you sir.

    Edit: Er, or miss? Sorry, I shouldn't presume.

  12. FileAcegameczar on Wed Nov 28, 2007 07:59 PM

    I am stumped by quadratic and flight.

  13. Avatar_profileRocketdaw65 on Wed Nov 28, 2007 08:00 PM

    [12] I found link in [7] very useful.

  14. FileBananaethnosax on Wed Nov 28, 2007 08:09 PM

    Like the knock-knock one I did a little bit ago, I figured on this one, everybody will know at least a couple right off the bat, and then there are countless websites that should give you the rest. Glad to see some of those have already been mentioned, and glad people seem to be enjoying this puzzle.

    For the ones with the girls talking--the answer is a way that the other girl might respond to what's being said. I know that doesn't help much, but maybe it'll be a decent nudge for someone.

  15. FileApplepahool on Wed Nov 28, 2007 08:23 PM

    I'm with [12]. Those two are killing me

  16. FileApplepahool on Wed Nov 28, 2007 08:25 PM

    sorry. duplicate post...

  17. FilePepperdajagr on Wed Nov 28, 2007 08:49 PM

    [1] Unfortunately, the sound quality for the YouTube link just isn't doing it for me. *sigh*

    If I had a hi-fi...

    Sweet, biblical boobies!

  20. FilePepperdajagr on Thu Nov 29, 2007 12:26 AM

    Seib oobla cilbib't eews?

  21. FilePlumhobobot on Thu Nov 29, 2007 05:39 AM

    any salt for the first one with eve?

  22. FileAppleLegomancer on Thu Nov 29, 2007 05:52 AM

    I, too, have always loved the quadratic formula, despite my avatar.

  23. FileBananaethnosax on Thu Nov 29, 2007 07:57 AM

    [22] Fantastic salt! :)

    [21] That is what I would consider the most well-known of all the classics (although if you don't know it, that comment just makes you feel dumb). Think about how Eve's hubbie would introduce himself, in exactly the format that Eve used.

    And if anyone is still having difficulties with the girls talking, here's a bit more salt. The answer on the math one starts (and ends) with i; the one about Ed starts (and ends) with e. I know there are alphabetical lists of these online, so if you find those, you're on your way.

  24. FilePotato2bites on Thu Nov 29, 2007 08:02 AM

    Loved it and was easier than I figured it was when I first started it. Thank you.

  25. FilePlumsjlee on Thu Nov 29, 2007 08:05 AM

    [21] What's the dude's name? How would he introduce himself to her?

  26. FilePlumsjlee on Thu Nov 29, 2007 08:16 AM

    I finally got them all. The quadratic formula one was tough because the girl's question doesn't really make you think of the answer.

  27. FileSailboatIlta on Thu Nov 29, 2007 09:20 AM

    [26] i had trouble with that, too, but some googling for the general term and a bit of brute force did it.

  28. FilePotatoDevin8r on Thu Nov 29, 2007 09:22 AM

    Great puzzle. Ditto [26] on the quadratic clue. I'm a big fan of sigma, myself.

    Tender animals slam in a red net.

  29. Avatar_profileAppleMacBeth on Thu Nov 29, 2007 09:29 AM

    The link from [1] was the only way I could get most of them. Some of the clues, espicially the math clue, are a stretch.

  30. Avatar_profilePearKillians1978 on Thu Nov 29, 2007 09:46 AM

    [7] saw me through a few of them, but it's amazing how once you get rolling with palindromes, it just kinda of picks up steam and gets much easier.

  31. FileGrapesdantan98 on Thu Nov 29, 2007 09:53 AM

    I think anyone who solves this should get a plush "Tanga Gnat" ;-]

    It took me forever to get the MASH one. I didn't see that arrow for the longest time and couldn't think of what could POSSIBLY be put there. (*cuckoo*)

  32. Avatar_profileBananaDJKuulA on Thu Nov 29, 2007 09:54 AM

    That math clue was awful. The answer doesn't have a formula in it. What makes it more awful is that it could just as easily *not* have been awful!

    Otherwise a cool puzzle.

  33. FileApplepahool on Thu Nov 29, 2007 10:07 AM

    Thanks [22] that got me through.

  34. FilePotatorevchewie on Thu Nov 29, 2007 10:37 AM

    100% agreement there. A perfect sprinkle of salt, [22].

  35. Avatar_profilePeargrailwolf on Thu Nov 29, 2007 11:04 AM

    Had good answers for everything, but something was still wrong. Can't figure out what. Wish you could find out what you got right and wrong. :(

  36. SmalloldvelvetnoseRocketsdharing on Thu Nov 29, 2007 02:43 PM

    Got it. Never would have done it without all the helpful comments, though. Thanks, everybody.

  37. Rudyard040731bAppleradiotalent on Thu Nov 29, 2007 03:44 PM

    Without [7] I'd have been lost...[22] is pretty funny once you get the joke.

  38. English_d_betterApplemrdehate on Thu Nov 29, 2007 05:18 PM

    I sure am glad palindromes start and end with the same letter...

  39. English_d_betterApplemrdehate on Thu Nov 29, 2007 05:18 PM

    hah, and solving this puzzle gets me 1001 Tanga points...how classic!

  40. Avatar_profilePeachweasel75 on Thu Nov 29, 2007 06:04 PM

    I've got everything! Except for the dodo skeleton. Any clues?

  41. FilePeartimotab on Fri Nov 30, 2007 06:15 PM

    avian bone? :)
