Mar 09, 2008 Hypercross Puzzle

Is it possible the last clue's name is misspelled? I have the puzzle completed and am pretty sure I have this person's name correct, but there's one too many spaces on the puzzle! Help?

[1] It all worked for me.

I just double checked it. It looks correct to me. Tangagram me and I can tell you if it's right or not.

Check the first

You got it! But we're not going to save your answer.

What does this mean?

Any salt for those '70s looking guys?

[5] Absolutely nothing. You still got the points, still got the fame and recognition.

wow. Neat puzzle.

[6] 70's looking guys? They are staying alive, you know.

[6] look like brothers.

[11] Yeah...brothers born on the same day

Thanks for the info. It's the first time I got that message, and I was afraid.

As for the puzzle itself, I impressed myself. I knew all but 3 of them directly, and for those 3, I knew what two of them were- just didn't know the names.

Good one, BDD!

Any help on the second last picture?

[10] Thanks. I had the theme, but never know what any musicians look like so I was stuck on them for awhile.

[15] Think of the zodiac. They have names, individually.

[15] have you googled the names of the zodiac for gemini twins?

[12] and in this case the fact that they are brothers factors in to who they are "together"

Great puzzle!

Any salt on the women of achievement?

[18] or seen a certain movie directed by the greatest action director of all time?

[19] Yup! That's how I designed the puzzle, anyway. Glad you recognized it!!

[20] Thanks Philana!!!

[17][18] That did it. Thanks!

[21] Have you ever written a letter to a newspaper column asking for salt on a realtionship?

Thank you!

[6] think disco

Could someone spell check me? I've got answers, they all look right. But, of course, it's not taking it.

TG me if you can help, please.

great job! Love the theme and how it worked out.

[28] check your TG

[28] Check your spelling on the 7th clue. That's what tripped me up.

[31] Yup, that was it. I didn't even look that one up. I've always thought the two names rhymed perfectly, not just kinda-sorta.

Thanks!

Stuck on the wrestlers. The rest were pretty easy.

To expand on my earlier "great puzzle" comment... What makes this puzzle so good is that the composer selected pictures that provide clueful context. One set of twins is clearly conjoined, another two are obviously astronauts, another two are obviously gymnasts, the trio is from the disco era, etc. So even if a solver didn't recognize a particular set of twins, it should be relatively easy to search for them. All puzzles should be so thoughtfully constructed!

Nice Hypercross. I enjoyed it.

This was my favorite hypercross yet! Great theme...a little history, a little sports, a little starwatching...too cool!

I liked this puzzle, it was fun!

Not getting the wrestlers, or gymnasts, or whatever they are.
Google is no help.

[39] I googled the theme word followed by "gymnasts" and it was the first one to come up. They were also on Ninja Warrior.

Edit: tried it with a more generic term and then "gymnasts" and it was still the first hit.

[40] that did it. I never heard of them or what they do ... but now I've got all the puzzles done tonight. thanks. (the '70's looking guys' were the easiest for me - maybe because I used to Disco Dance the night away.)(Also, the Ladies of Achievement were E-A-S-Y since one looks Just Like Her Picture in the Paper.)

Very fun. Thanks
