Is there a theme?

[11] i just had an AHA moment on the theme. There is one but kind of subtle.

[9] for #6, just write out what it is
for the theme, remember that we're in August, not March.

I think #5 is a desert, but it's not taking my answers.

Anyone offering clues here on #5? I see a lot of people asking, but no hope of any salt yet....

For #5 I just googled the name of the continent with the type of feature that is pictured, and the answer popped right out.

I take that back. Thanks [17]... Stay on that track.

Ah, now I see the theme - and that I had #10 wrong.
Beware the theme... At least in March.

I'd establish the theme first to make great strides in finding a guide suitable for solving this puzzle.

I know the theme, I thought I had all the answers but it's not taking them. All my answers fit the theme.

[33] for 5, see above, for 6, that is the answer, in the Caesarian section...

I see the salt for #5 but I am just not finding it and 6 is still stumping me.

So, that seems to have been harder than I expected. (Maybe we should have held it until March after all?) Hope people enjoyed it, mostly; sorry if the African geographic feature proved too hard.

somehow, i found the bubble picture the hardetst - missed the blurb at the bottom.
For #5, don't call it a "Bush" - I got the whole answer immediately once I got the theme.

I learned that the color of a bubble is an accurate measure of the thickness of the soap film. Fascinating...

[50] I think that #6 might be an abbreviation for something. . . (i.e. e.g., et al., etc.)

Nice puzzle Tahnan!
[12] you are right... the theme is very subtle... took me awhile to see it
