The clues for this puzzle were supposed to be in a very specific order, but the hypercross system kept rearranging them. Sorry everybody!

The order is pretty clear when you get it. I'm only missing the baby, and I know part of the answer

Nice!! Loved #3 - perhaps the funniest word in the English language.

The order should be:
#1 - Baby on the couch
#2 - The additions
#3 - The tax forms
#4 - The other mathy one (not the additions)
#5 - The oddly shaped building
#6 - The coin
#7 - The guys in suits
#8 - The dumbbells
#9 - The dog
#10 - The screwdriver
Hope that helps!

Again, the order is pretty straightforward, but I am truly stuck on the infant.

Any salt on the baby I got the rest I think

The baby one is probably easier if you've had your own kids. That's my daughter BTW. :)

Got them without the listing - Once I got a few answers, the theming was obvious, although the baby had to wait for last (since I had to see what was missing).
For the baby, perhaps the first round of jacks might be a better clue?

I was stumped without the order. With it, it all fell into place.

Any salt on #10, the screwdriver?

#10 is a verb
any salt on #1?

any help on #5? I have the theme and all the rest but I also seem to have a mental block

I got tripped up because of the way the last 3 deviated from the pattern established by the first 7. Just goes to show ya what happens when you assume...

I got them all but they don't like my answer. Any thoughts on where a potential misspelling might be?

2 is killing me! I mean, clue #1...
So I suppose death IS involved!

[21] also a tooth

"#8 - The dumbbells" is just killing me! I am sure I will slap my forehead. :(
Okay, got that one right after posting (of course) but something else must be amiss.

Posted on Thu Apr 03, 2008 07:29 PM |
[31] what else are they called - generically?

Finally finished it, with LOTS of head-slapping moments. (I particularly liked answer #3.) Fun puzzle!

stuck on 10... have the rest though... can't see how it fits in
snork

[33] Clue #1 doesn't really have a "math" answer.
Clue #5 does. (Never thought college algebra would come in handy again!) We spent lots of time figuring these out.
Clue #6 - What's another name for a combo like this?

I now finally have them all, but it won't take my answers, this always seems to happen to me.
NM: got it
comishcraig

[36] Thanks...got them all now. I wasn't focused on what kind #5 was.

Posted on Thu Apr 03, 2008 07:41 PM |
Humm... I had the baby down as "unique" I thought that's a much better answer :)

[37] then ignore the TG :o)

Hows about a little salt on #5 for us poor math impaired folk?
jeep
Posted on Thu Apr 03, 2008 07:52 PM |
I think I have them all, but something must be off... what's the most likely misspelling?
Edit: I see others have had problems too, so what did y'all find?

Meh. Should have all used the same form of the theme, rather than switching, as between the baby and the building.
Nice idea, but it needed more development to unify around the theme.

I have all the answers (I think) but it won't take it. I would never have gotten the baby... bachelors don't deal with stuff like that. Only the jacks answer saved me (but I might have misspelled it).

[47] TG me if you want someone to check your spelling. I'll be up a little longer.

Stuck on the baby and the coin. I think I have the rest.
I still have -b plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4 a c all over 2 a memorized.

Gah. I'd never heard of the baby one before.
BetaPrime
Posted on Thu Apr 03, 2008 10:07 PM |
[49] For the coin, google what you see on the coin and what you think should be in that word.
wmshub
Posted on Thu Apr 03, 2008 10:15 PM |
[50] Yeah, it's a word I'd probably used or heard only a few times in my life. Then I had kids, and for a while used it several times a day. Now my youngest is 3, so I don't use it any more, but I still remember it!
hwango

I've got the theme and I'm pretty sure about most of my answers, but I still can't figure out anything for the coin.

Very nice puzzle.
cherylo
Posted on Fri Apr 04, 2008 09:10 AM |
boo, hiss. I like the theming, but the execution has so many styles of numerals that it was really hard where there were alternates that fit. For example, I had 'unique' as well. It fit the grid, clue and theme. Perhaps if the grid had been chosen to exclude that otherwise fitting answer, I might have been in the bonus.
wmshub
Posted on Fri Apr 04, 2008 09:42 AM |
Yeah, sorry about "unique", I didn't realize it fit until somebody brought it up here. I tried to make sure there wasn't much ambiguity - note all the intersections in the center of the puzzle - but this one snuck in.
As for the different styles, there are really only two, although some answers fit both styles so that is like a third style. Probably I should have stuck with one or the other.

Still need help on Baby.

Posted on Fri Apr 04, 2008 12:36 PM |
#1 with the additions has me stumped.
I know it's the second answer if arranged in sequence, but can't think of what fits.
Salt please?
Thanks
---------------------
Edit: Geepers... the answer for #1 just popped into my head.
seasidebruin

[60]
** It's NOT:
the baby
the couch
what's above the baby
what's below the baby
what's to the left of the baby
what's to the right of the baby
what's infront of the baby
what's behind the baby
what's in the baby
what the baby is doing
what the baby is not doing
what the baby is sensing (seeing/smelling)
what the baby is not sensing (seeing/smelling)
What's left?
But its visible in the picture.

[60] To be even more clear: Imagine that the baby is a fashion model. When you look at a fashion model, what are you supposed to be paying attention to?
