[1] I believe it's House, from the show by the same name, but since I've misplaced my glasses, I can't be sure!

AAAGH!
I can't make any House quotes fit. And what's with Stephen Colbert?

[1][2] It is House.
But I cant figure out the clue. I have the rest of the puzzle and have seen plenty of episodes of House.

[3] I have never watched the show, but at least I knew who it was. I assume Stephen Colbert is the dude with the flag? Never watched him either. Argh! Stuck on those two!

Got 'em all except the House one. The main (only?) one (that I can think of) is "Everybody Lies" but it doesn't fit.

[3] I believe Colbert's has to do with veracity. Now I gotta go google me some House.

[6] exactly. What else does he say ever?

Yes, everything is clear but for House. The obvious answer (given by Arnott in 6) doesn't work and there aren't that many catchphrases from that show.

Got everything but house - and yes, "everybody lies" SHOULD be it, but....

Ditto. Seen every episode of House, and no idea what that bottom one is.

Any hints on the Back to the Future one?
Edit: NM, I got it. So now like everyone else, I'm stuck on the House one.

[16] So do we need to start a fresh Hypercross?
Arnott
Posted on Sun Feb 17, 2008 07:21 PM |
Refresh your window.

OK, there are 10 unknown letters in the house quote, which means there are 26^10 possible combinations. That's 141,167,095,653,376 possibilities. Let's get to it!
Arnot's change made it 11 unknown letters, bringing it to 3,670,344,486,987,776 possibilities...

I'm going to argue that the quote for our bro Anderw Meyer is a typo.

You solved this puzzle in 0 seconds and were the 14th Tanga member to solve it. You earned 107 points for solving this.
Wee! One top 20 and one top 100 tonight.

[18] Yes. It was a puzzlemaker typo. It's now correct to make the grid work more than the quote, though the quote is close enough to the "correct" one (and may even be used as much on the show) to be perfectably acceptable.
And don't forget to redo your "fun" and "difficulty" ratings, if you think you should (I did - a typo is unfortunate, but shouldn't really count as a major strike against a puzzle, I think).

EVERYONE should be able to get the House one now.
Arnott
Posted on Sun Feb 17, 2008 07:27 PM |
[25] Yeah, could be. I had to try it both ways.

Arnott

[34] Ref, you may need to try a different spelling on the Andrew Meyer one.

On the Andrew Meyer one... don't forget to try alternate spellings ;)

Once House was fixed - sort of - I believe the typo is with the UF student. Should be an "s" not a "z" in the phrase.

Thanks for helping to clear things up, Arnott. And yeah, typo aside, it was a really good puzzle.

[38] I solved it with z in the UF student one.

Two things wrong in this puzzle :(

[38] Thank you!
Ugh, double whammy on the errors in the puzzle.
Arnott
Posted on Sun Feb 17, 2008 07:35 PM |
[38] While I agree with you, there's are LOTS of valid sources that use the other spelling. Meaning: I don't think this one's "wrong."
That said, I prolly wouldn't have used it in the first place, just because of that ambiguity.
Philana
Posted on Sun Feb 17, 2008 07:33 PM |
I agree that there were two errors in the puzzle. It's a shame, because it was a fun one.

Still can't get the House quote to fit. Had the rest, easily. Not worth the effort.

[27] One typo maybe shouldn't count heavily (though it's arguable), but two should.
