Hypercross: I got your number! Vol 2

Awesome one!

Finally a number puzzle I can solve! Thanks!

The Chicago clue is weak, other than that it was a fun puzzle.

I got the shaft. This puzzle came up late and I mistook last night's puzzle for tonight's.

Yee-hah. Good puzzle.

[2] Yeah, the Chicago clue only works if you force a conversion to a number, although that's what I thought was actually in the song when I first heard it.

The pic in the 11th clue is poorly cropped.

A lot of fun! Thanks!

Any help on the Baker Street one?

You solved this puzzle in 0 seconds and were the 96th Tanga member to solve it. You earned 23 points for solving this.

GREAT puzzle!

[8] google it; maybe you can deduce what it is from there :)

I don't know who the guy with the gun is. Any salt? I recognize him but don't have a name... he reminds me of Fred MacMurray.

[10] tried that...guess I'll look again

Baker Street was the home of a fictional famous detective.

And apparently I've never called information...

[11] EDIT: Wrong clue. Sorry! When you try and figure out the guy with the gun, I hope you don't run out of hours in the day!

[15] Thanks, knew I'd seen him somewhere.

ok. I don't know how to make the Chicago one work. Any salt for me?

[17] Did you try googling the line of the song? I often also type "lyrics" or something like that.

Two I'm still not sure about: 1K RAM and information #.

I even looked it up in the phone book. I might not know this because I don't have a real phone. :)

Thanks [10], [13]

For the life of me, I couldn't remember the old number for "information", so 125th.

Salt, please? [19]. I've been searching and haven't found anything.

[20]: try converting the number - the answer bites

[24]-- that was for the 1K Ram, right? I *think* I got that one... still stuck on information #. It's not available anywhere, not even for ready money.

There are 2 numbers for information - I am presuming you need the non-traffic related number.

I found the traffic-related one, :) but that doesn't seem to work.

Hmmm, I think I have everything except #2 (the girl with the gun) Tried all combos for her and still nothing. Seemed to be rather straightforward. I have the Chicago clue - played that one at high school basketball games. Has anyone seen one of the Qs with more than one possible answer?

The girl with the gun is from the same show as the guy with the shoe.

Thanks HistorySteph. Unfortunately, I'm still blocked =^/

Do you know the show?

My mom used to watch it-- that's how I knew it. :) Never seen it myself.

dingo, did you get the number for information?

the girl with the gun and the guy with the shoe certainly weren't becoming dumb...

grr... now I have all the answers, but it's not accepting. I looked up most of these, so I don't see what could be wrong.

I think I have everything right, but no luck. Is it right that a word is dropped from the Chicago one?

[35] Jinx!

Donimo, I sent you a TG

[36] That one really bugged me too... two words dropped, actually. "To" != 2 :/

I will forgive because it is the best Chicago song evah.

[40] NO WAI! It's got to be "If You Leave Me Now," no question!

wohoo just crossed the 2k mark of tanga points.
get it 2K......tonights clue was 1K.....wow tough crowd.

Cool puzzle. Everything but the song lyric and the baker steret one seemed to fit. Never know what to do with the extra words in the song one, or the extra letter in the baker street one.

[42] I might applaud if you had 46 more points.

[44] huh?

edit- doh! now I get it. nice :)

Hm... I can't figure which one I got wrong and would appreciate some help.

Very cool puzzle and appealed to some of us that are a little longer in the tooth!

[46] What do you need? I solved it, so send me a TG.

[44] giggle
any salt on the guy in 4?

oops. or THX?

[18] Thanks, but I know the lyric (I've been a Chicago fan for over 20 years now). I just don't know which mutation will get me to "freaking genius." I've tried all numbers. I've tried numbers and letters. Not pleased.

ok, now I seem to have all the answers and it still says I'm wrong, anyone want to check mine for me? please?

[52] I've had the same problem since 10:30 last night. I'm not pleased.

I believe that [53] that is why I am asking outright instead of just giving up...there are some great folks here and they seem to always be willing to help out, if I let them know what I need, at least.

[33] Hi Steph,
Had to take off last night. Got the numbers, but am still struggling with which one is incorrect.

[52][53][55] Tangagrams sent.

I can't see where I'm making my mistake, but the puzzle says I'm wrong...

[57] I... am... your singing Tangagram! *BANG!* Ok, I didn't sing, but I did send you one.

Can't figure out what I have wrong...how can I find out what is right or wrong??? I am thinking maybe I have the Information one wrong...maybe the RAM one??? I am frustrated...any help? I really thought they were all right...

[59] Puzzle help line here... In other words, check your Tangagrams :P

Thanks for the help, Blah. Information and Assistance are definitely 2 different numbers <g>

Thanks, BlahMcBlah! It was the gun that got me in the end!

I too think I have them right, but it says I'm wrong. Any help out there still?

still very stuck on the Chicago one

M*A*S*H? Is there a number that goes with it?

[64] try this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSOaoPDO16Y

{editor's note: ironic what comment number triggered this}

what unit was mash? [65]

Hardest point I've ever earned. F*** Chicago:)

The Chicago clue is tough. Even knowing the lyrics instantly hasn't helped.
