Hypercross: Welcome Monsieur...Entree

Some of those were a bit of a stretch. Tough, but fair.

Stuck on the tennis guy and the ers.

Tennis salt, please. [2] There's a bunch of ers.

Never mind. It's not who the player is but what he is doing.

I'm stuck on the pillow and coin. Any help?

[4] It's a slang term for the coin.

[2] [3] It's a type of shot in tennis. I still don't know how the guy fits, though.

[2], [3] He's not serving...

[2] Guy not important, what he is doing IS.
How are the "ers" presented?

[4] Try another name for that coin.

[3] Think of a specific tennis action.

[4] The arrow points to what you should focus on on the pillow. And that's a specific currency.

Thanks [5] and [7] and [8], but I got it before I saw your salt, as it turned out. You've salted all the other requests as well or better than I can.

[2][3] It's not a smash.

[4] Tough nickname to know for those not using The Queen's currency.

But I agree with [1]. Some were a stretch, but they still work.

Salt on the chick in the wax museum and the 'er'???

Got the chick - now I need the lonely 'er'

Well done.

[11] Not the lonely 'er', what about they others that are all together?

Though the 'er's are inside of a circle, I wouldn't say that they're in a ring, or a field for that matter.

Does the vocalist's identity matter?

Ah, sure. I never watched that.

[15] the character's identity does.

Salt on wax girl?

Good puzzle - left me hungry for more.

[14] Ha! Nice clue for the mathematically inclined. *g*

salt on the last pic with the canal?

salt on the nails?

[21] The canal is in the city Dear to my heart.

[23] ahhh..got it...so close yet so far away...thanks!

[22] The Egyptian's off a bit phonetically, but that clue should include a t-shirt.

The nails are also not perfectly phonetic, but maybe if you say it SLOWLY... with butter.

What is the first picture?

help with the ers in the yellow circle?

[19] Yeah, especially the second to last one! Yum!

[26] i'm stuck on that one too

[25] do you mean it should be a jewish religious leader and a t-shirt.
I figured out who the egyptian god is.

Ok, the letters in nails need to be re-arranged. Or you could just look at the shape that the two make together but together they are plural and the answer is singular....

Of course the gal talking on the phone isn't singular.....its verizon, alltel or one of a half dozen they sell.

[26] The stringed instrument is the largest in its class.

Didn't like the "ER" clue, but the rest were pretty good.

Nice hypercross.

[30] I was referring to Tanga's habit of including a t-shirt when selling the game associated with that Egyptian. It's been too long since I've tried to salt. Ignore me.

stuck on tennis player and bald dude

can someone give me some salt about the man in the suit infront of the US flag? not american so kinda at a loss

stil cant get the "er" clue

[25] If you're having problems with the clues, how about the fork?

[34] Guy spent time in the white house, but not as president
I'm really frustrated, this is the first hypercross that I got right away, all except the er one. It's killing me.

any salt on the pound?

or the tennis player?

I'm right there with you on the ers...

Good thing my wife is smart... all those ers are together.

[34] He's not Jack Kennedy; I'll tell you that. (too salty?)

[41] No, too salty would be to say....never mind I googled it and it was too salty

[42] LOL.. So many wonderful memories... and to think I'd almost forgotten about the man -- thank heaven for this puzzle to bring them flooding back!

I didn't care for the mix of Norman and Saxon terminology, but that aside, I thought it was a good puzzle.

[40] that did it for me, dont know why though, guess the circle was throwing me off.

Dude in front of the flag. one word: tomatoe

Tennis player: where is that ball going to go? whats the beard guy doing?

Pillow and coin: says "one pound" on the coin. any other names for it?

Finished...got it...my head hurts...I'm going to go lie down now. To the people with "er" problems, there are a couple of schools of thought for that one.

I just went to bed and it came to me. I had to come back out here and finish it. I feel really foolish that I didn't get it. I apparently wasn't paying attention in school.

[41] It wasn't too salty until [42] posted...haha

Who the heck is singing?

Completely stumped on the first clue with the stringed instrument. I think I have everything else.

Your kidding!! People actually eat that?

[49] It's like the 1st day of Christmas

[50] There's one in every rock band (is that too salty?)

I agree that several of these were a stretch. I enjoyed the puzzle still.

Sigh, I am still clueless on the ERs. I know they are together, but so...?

I still don't get the singer at all.
Edit: Got the singer thanks to [52] There should be a rule against using photos from shows that went off the air 40 years ago as clues...

[53] Starting with the Er's in the circle, try describing the picture aloud.
[14] Thanks for the salt on the Er's

You solved this puzzle in 0 seconds and were the 202nd Tanga member to solve it. You earned 20 points for solving this.

I'm pretty sure it took me longer than 0 seconds....

I need some salt for the tennis one. I have no clue what so ever! That is my only one left!! can someone help?!!!

got all but the first one...the pic highlights the letter, but the answer seems to start with a different letter, am I reading that wrong?

stuck on the tennis one and the tall/short one.

[56][58] google tennis shots
[57] Say the letter in the picture out loud

Got all but including the first one and I have no idea how you get the answer out of the first one, I still liked it though

[60] You have to know what the instrument is in the pic. It is as much at home in an orchestra as in a jazz group.

All I need is the tall/short one.

the last ones finally clicked for me. good puzzle

[62] Think of different things the short one would be called that fit in with the theme of the puzzle.

I got the "exotic" answers first, so I got stuck and couldn't get the simple ones (short girl and piece of wood) right away.

[61] I referenced the wrong first one. I met the first accross one with the mannequin and the girl. i think I have the girl reference.

Ugh,
Have all of them pretty easily, but still getting nixed on the completion. Are there any strange spellings in any of the answers?

Nevermind - found the problem

the only one I need is the thrid one, and i'm stumped.

[69] I'll trade you the third one for the first one!

The "er" one stumped me for a while, but I took a break, got some lunch, let it run around in my brain for a while, and then it hit me like a big ugly fish.

BINGO!!!!!!!!

Got it. yea.

So, what does the fifteenth one taste like?

[59] thank you so much, that was what I needed...got it finally!!

[74] Chicken, of course.

[74] It's a bit tough and chewy.

The first picture doesn't really follow the rest of the answers... for the rest, you need to sound out what you see... with that one you need to actually know how to spell it correct, because how it sounds doesn't help.

[64] Dwarf? Midget? Shorty?

[79] "jumbo xxxxxx" is an oxymoron.

Loved the hat; er's were a bunch of pains. Can't for the life of me figure out the tennis swing or what baldy is doing.

Must... resist... urge... to... scream. Or even hit the ball hard. Sounds more French than anything else.

[71] Thank you so much for that. It finally got it for me!

Guess I'm a little late - but got'em. Whew!

I guess I am the only one who thought the circle er clue was one of the better ones.

[85] Agreed: my favorite 'AHA' of the bunch. The short female answer could have been clued better...
