Ow! My ego!
6th. This was the easiest puzzle I've seen here in a long time.
Must be nice to get it so easily. I can't remember/don't know which movies these are from.
[6] As far as I know, these aren't from movies. Everything you need is here on this page, no research required.
woo-hoo!

14- That is rather cryptic since I don't see any directions.
[15] Read it carefully. They are contained in the text. I will try to salt harder on BGG.
Nice. Had to think a while, but the connectons finally showed up.
14 did it for me

Your ego is safe from me!
I guess I'm lost without that map ?????????
Hey nice puzzle!
# It took you 2 minutes and 26 seconds to solve this puzzle.
Nice puzzle. Just don't hand him that map until you get the directions first.
Quite good!
Everyone keeps referring to boardgamegeek, but what forum is all this salt being listed? I don't see a forum dedicated to tanga and typing tanga into a forum search leads nowhere
Salt-free in 3.5 minutes ... loved it!

Also, if you don't bookmark this, it is linked on the BGG home page as the "Master Tanga Puzzle Thread" under "BGG News". For a couple of days they took it off, but put it back (I guess enough people complained)
Ohhhh, at last I get it. It really is quite a good puzzle.
Nice puzzle. Fun to do once you finally "see" the directions.
Just not seeing the directions here. I'm probably going to feel really silly if and when I get the "Aha!"
It took you 2 minutes and 21 seconds to solve this puzzle.
Cool puzzle- once you get the "Aha"
Look for commonality between the first paragraph and the second paragraph.
Heh heh, that was cool.
Woo hoo! Salt-free in 2 minutes and 25 seconds. Fun puzzle.
cute - done without my crutch (BGG is down)
The answer explanation leaves something to be desired.
[37] Agreed.
For those of you who still curious about how to solve this, the important words in the first paragraph are "beforehand", "overtime", "understand", and "afterthought". Find the words "hand", "time", "stand", and "thought" in the second paragraph, and read the words "before", "over", "under", and "after" them, respectively. That will give you the phrase "what you jump through", which is a reference to the common expression for doing something difficult -- "jumping through hoops".
