Hypercross: Beware the Ides of March

ok...what's up with this one...is it supposed to do that?

huh?

Am lost

Fun! Liked it!

[4] ok, so give a little help here....

Yes please - I think I know what to do and then it all falls apart

[5] The arrow up key on your keyboard is what?

That was pretty cool!! I like a manual transmission too.

on my laptop it's the up brightness control????

Don't forget the title of the hypercross. It is relevant, now figure out why.

[9] Oh sorry in mine it's the one you use for capitals

still totally lost

[10] And don't forget to use all the information in the picture.

[12] You may have to call an audible and shift your offense...

Took me longer than it should have, but 17th.

Who had to beware the ides of March?

This is my favorite Hypercross ever. Salt might be why did they allegedly name the computer in the movie 2001:ASO what they did?

wow that was hard.

Pretty nice.

[12] the entries you wanted to put in (but as you noticed, don't fit) are correct. But you must apply a process to them before they will go in the grid.

I am so totally confused -

i still say huh?

Great puzzle!

[19] Process? define process

[19],[21] Do you know who I asked about in [15]?
(the second [19], that is....)
There is something related to him that works with the non-picture part of each clue.

ho boy, this is getting complicated - so I have all the words and now I must do something else to them to make them right?

That must have taken some time to put together. Well done.

and what I want to use for that 'process' is not even in the puzzle?

[17] Yep. This is another one for HAL 9000.

[17] Better yet...for 2001 pretend showed an IBM (with 1 <---) and called it HAL

[24] murder?

Do the words make sense after the process?

[31] I entered words in my solution.

grrr - I am totally lost then

neato o'tean

[30] think more of a code (to use on the answers you almost certainly already have)

[31] yes.

this reminds me of a time I had too much blood in my alcohol stream

Dang, Random! Well done! Very cool puzzle.

that's it - I'm done for the night - not getting an aha moment -maybe tomorrow

ok, I got the method and it's not taking my answers - the first one isn't a word I recognize

great one

[39] all the words are common. Be certain you are using the clue correctly. [29] has an example to help you.

got it!!! misspelled a source word

[39] the first one is organic

thanks all for the help - didn't have a clue til [29]

I find this very tedious. Not for me, I guess.

I really don't get the title tho and it's time for me to pretend that I'm taking the bunny's advice so I'll see you all tomorrow night ;o)

[45] google helped my find a tool to make this sort of thing less tedious

[46] Check your tangagrams...don't want to overdose on the salt by explaining it in the open here.

[48] thanks a bunch

ok i finally figured out the method. have them all but #3. any help on what/where this is?

aha NEVERMIND

Nicely done randomcyn.

I still don't understand what the title has to do with the puzzle, but I got my points, so I'm happy :)

it is so weird how these things can work out. good job.

that must have been tricky to create!

How very cool.

Clever, Clever, Clever!!!

Must have been hard to make it work.

Well Done!!

Got it, but dont get how Caesars death has anything to do with this.

[56] not his death, but something more tanga-ish associated with him. See also my [35] salt.

This was a fun puzzle, got me STU!!!

A bit tedious, but nicely crafted and interesting.

Hmm. I got the answers, using the HAL trick, but I'm not seeing how it pertains to the title/theme?

At first I cursed my Rot-n luck on having to do it by hand... then googled.

LOVED IT !! i really liked that extra step.. took a little trial / error to figure it out .. lots of fun

[60] the ides of march aludes to a famous historical figure who used this cipher.

Cooooooool!

[63] Ah, ok. I knew the person, but wasn't aware of the connection with cryptography. Wikipedia helped answer that :) Thanks!
