Jan 09, 2008 Hypercross Puzzle

Hurray, my first 1st. :) I think I'll go have a cow!

Missing two

oops

That was surprisingly fun. Nice puzzle!

First pass, didn't get a single one. This is a load of bull.

I am totally lost. Throw me some salt please.

Any salt at all?

All the pictures have something in common. Figure out how to use it, if you're able.

Who was culpable for this puzzle? Loved the puzzle and theme. Thumbs up. My wife loves the last one.

[8] I see that they all have something in common. My beef is that I don't know how to use it.

[5] You stole my line

This one is unbearable.

Anybody have any salt for the New York Volunteers?

Never mind...

Absolutely incredible

awesome! i actually made a one word wonder puzzle that followed the same principle for the last one, only it used a ball instead of a bull. Your picture was vastly superior to my final version - which caused many tanganites trouble.

Didn't know this was going to be published tonight... thanks to all!

[16] I actually ran across a few other Picasso pictures that I was dying to use in this puzzle, but I told myself they all had to be stylistically different.

For me, the ripped zebra one needs some salt. Anybody?

ugh, never mind

[21] That's pretty salty.

They are all real words.

Nicely created clues! All hypercross should be like this: a little "what the?" at the beginning, but then everything just clicking into place once the theme is established!

Great job! 5 stars on fun!

I'm still stuck on the New York Volunteers picture. Any salt?

[24] Half the battle is figuring out what our four-hooved friend was involved in.

[24] The author could've chosen any picture of soldiers and added a male cow.

got it - thx

I stuck on the last picture.. and then the one that crosses only the last pictures line.

[28] Your first question: Where is the explosive, relative to the bovine?

[28] With a face like that, he could really go places.

[29] click click boom! got it. duh.

[30] *I* resisted that answer for a long time... it deviates from the rest.

good puzzle though. thanks.

[1] Congratulations!

[16] I solved that puzzle of yours just last month, and I remembered it when I saw the last clue. It helped me get this one faster. Thanks.

I enjoyed this puzzle. Only needed to look up the Simpsons character. I never pay attention when my son's watching it. :)

So far it's been fun... I really like the last one.

EDIT: Nevermind the first request... I'm removing it. Maybe too salty.

I still want help with the soldiers, though...

-JEEP

And got it after the edit. Fun puzzle.

Aaargh. I just can't get that last one!

need salt on the dance one, please

[35] What's that in the cloud? And what is it in?

And here I thought, except for the number of letters, that my answer to the leftmost down was suitable.

Ok, I think I have all but the Latin dance looking one, and I can come up with two plausible answers for that, so I'm satisfied. Anyone willing to Tangagram the Latin dance one to me, or provide salt?

remarkable puzzle!!!

[39] not the dance...the girl

I still don't get the girl dancing one, unless my cards one is wrong, will someone Tangagram me the second letter of the girl dancing one?

?

Really fun!!

This was unbullievably fun!

the first and second ones are still stubbornly stumping me. The rest were pretty easy.

You just need the genre of the dancing girl picture

Terrific puzzle. Best in a long time.

[46] I was lost on the first one as well, then remembered to look at EVERYTHING in the picture, even the background.

Fun one with nice, tangible clues. ;)

[46] For the second one, see [26], and I will add that it could be soldiers from different "sides" shooting at one another. I think this clue could have been better if the caption was left off. It made me try to find something specific to the unit mentioned; I needed help to think more generic.

Edit: still like the puzzle though - it was manageable (are we sick of these puns yet? :-)

Once you get the theme, this puzzle is actually fairly easy. The two tough ones were the one with the soldiers and the wooden tile. I think the wooden tile one is a bit of a stretch as it does not follow the "pattern" of the other answers.

I love the last one. That's hilarious. Good puzzle.

Great puzzle!!
Nice "aha" moment

Especially liked the last one!

Ok, thanks for all the help...I Thought I had them all right, I still think I have them all right, but it is telling me it is not correct! aarrgg...I like this one - but it bugs me not to know which one might be spelled wrong or whatever sigh

[55] I agree, it would be really nice know which ones are wrong.

[47] Thanks, your salt plus reading the fine print finally did it for me. Never would have got that otherwise.

That was fun! Best puzzle I've done on here so far!

well, guess that's it for this puzzle...they are correctly spelled and everything else I can think of and it is still wrong...not going to spend more time on it.

The caption on the soldiers one definitely sends you in a different direction, especially if you read up on the unit in question:
http://www.spanamwar.com/65thNewYork.htm

Why can't I get the cards one? It's not suitable or bullets.
What am I missing here?

Nevermind, I got it. Now I have to figure out what the dance one is since it isn't tangible.

And I've got the puzzle now.
Next time I shouldn't be so quick to ask for help.

I'm still having a cow over the last one. Nothing is clicking....

feh, i'm totally stuck on the picasso image
can someone TM me the first letter or something, please?

p.s. really love the puzzle, just having a total brain cramp on the last clue :-0

What a bunch of bull. I loved it! Fantastic idea and a great execution.

[63] [64] You have a bomb and were is it? First letter is "a"

Must have something else wrong

[67] Tangagram sent.

thanks must67, Got the bull one now. Unfortuntaly, it means other ones are not correct =^/

The second ones got me stumped.

[70] Capkincaid, A little birdie told me the answer

You solved this puzzle in 0 seconds and were the 296th Tanga member to solve it.
Zero seconds... HA!

I wish a little birdie would tell me.

[72] Tweeeet. Check your Tangagram.

How do you tangagram someone? Would someone look at what I've got and help me figure out where I went wrong?

[74] You can send them to me. Go to my profile and under my avatar is the "send a tangagram" option.

Thought I had it. must have a misspelling.

okay I sent it.

fixed it.

[77] OK, I responded. Look up near the top of the page under your notifications.

[72] I wish a little birdie would tell me as well, I have them all, it should be right, but it isn't. I am just a WEE bit frustrated! lol Oh well, can't get them all.

Fantastic.
