That one's different from the others -- it's a clue to a clue, rather than directly leading to a name.

Hmm... having trouble with the socks. And I think one of the answers is duplicated.
Edit:Got the socks. Now to figure out which of these duplicates isn't correct.

That goat is a bit misleading. Not bad. Just misleading.

it can't be as bad as the LAST goat that was here...
oh!

I'm scratching my head on the key/scissors one. The goat, while at first I thought was exceedingly ridiculous, was what finally keyed me into the theme.

What is this guy doing in the one that says "job".. total blank. I can think of all sorts of things that fit the theme, and have done some fine reaearch, but I'm not coming up with it. Also, is it generic or specific?

It's funny...before I knew the theme I guessed the first laughter one correctly. Then never having heard of that particular thing, I scrapped it then spent half an hour agonizing over it!

My problem too, I figure what the goat one might break down to for the final answer but I'm not coming up with anything not being sure what that first image is.
Also, I'm stumped on the "Vernon Wayne Howell" clue.

hmm, i'm missing the vertical laughing one. at least, i think that's the one i'm missing. i guess that means i'm not going anywhere for a while.

I've googled the name, but even knowing that doesn't really help me, maybe I don't know this one, much like one of the laughter ones, never heard of it before tonight.
Nevermind, got it. I thought I knew what that thing above his pic was and I was right, but I couldn't make it into anything. It just fell into place.

the boat one is not about the boat...
The tree one, was my favorite, once I got it. Hmmm, would Annette Funicello help?
working on salt for laughs softly...
sprinkled some seasoning at BGG
gilby123
Posted on Wed Jun 06, 2007 09:02 PM |
[41] I realize that about the boat one and know what it wants me to do, but what's left doesn't register as a word to me.
And the tree one, I only know her for being in beach movies and that she advertised some kinda peanutbutter at some point. Otherwise, before my time.
EDIT: Ugh...got them with some BGG salt. *GROAN*

Ohhh....thanks for the salt. I actually had the right answer, but I had one of the others misspelled! Thanks for making me go back and check the others!

I can't figure out what the last item is in the one with the convict, and it seems to be an answer that I'm not familiar with, because I can't backsolve it in with the first two...

the object of the first picture is not the convict but the location...
PhantaCComics

[45]
Probably VERY salty
Where is the convict? Prison or Jail? Those totes, mayhaps they are bins? Put it all together, slur your words a bit, you might realize you know these thing after all. I know a certain bunny that comes once a year leaves these hidden in little plastic eggs a lot.

[46] Well, technically, I was having trouble with the colorful things, but reëvaluating the location managed to get it to gel. So to speak.

Another fun hypercross today. A bit harder than the past few (especially the scissors clue), but I was able to figure it all out. Sweet!

Didn't like this one as much as the previous Hypercrosses. The misspelling of one entry, the mixture of brand names with generic names, etc. And the AWFUL pronunciation stretches required just weren't fun. Surely there was a better clue than the tree to get the first part of that answer.

That goat clue was no good, Mr. renfurdson.

Posted on Thu Jun 07, 2007 08:10 AM |
Wow, took me a while to get this one. I got the theme, but I agree with [55]... mixing brand names with generics made it confusing... plus the pronunciation stretches... ugh.
[55] I don't think it's really misspelled, but rather it is technically incorrect. I think if anyone tries to look it up on Wiki, they'll see what we mean.
With the goat one, I actually think the first picture was the problem... too ambiguous. I had to go to BGG to get salt to figure it out. Maybe a picture of a certain 80s band would have been better used?
The two laughing ones were confusing at first, but using Dictionary.com and Thesaurus.com helped straighten them out.

I've never heard of the "Laughs softly" clue as it fits the theme.
I needed BGG salt from lead for an alternate clue.

[58] For the correct entry into the puzzle, PATTY should have been spelled PATTIE. You put the character name in the puzzle rather than the candy name.
