If you ever have problems with your order, we'll do everything we can to make it right.
As a small company (8 of us total), we aim to treat you like family. We know we’re in business because of you.
hmmmm...
the obvious doesn't work.
All right! Top 2!!! It pays to not put my kids to bed right at 8:00.
1st top 10! Yay for me. Oh. It's the easy one. Never mind!
[2] Actually, it does in a way.
[3] You are actually number 1...
[5] Sweet! It's the easy one, but I'll take it!
is the color significant?
[7] Nope, it's not.
It took you 2 minutes and 49 seconds to solve this puzzle.
You were the 11th Tanga member to solve this puzzle.
LOL I can't believe I got this right. Cute.
# It took you 30 minutes and 11 seconds to solve this puzzle.
# You were the 14th Tanga member to solve this puzzle.
Well, it's top 10 in base 14. :P
Rule number one for the easy puzzle: Don't overthink it. In fact...
Weak... that is not a picture of the object the answer refers to; that is a pushpin.
Great. This easy one is the only one stumping me.
[11]'s comment concerns me. When the obvious answer brings up the image in a google search, I have to wonder what the author was actually looking for.
Yeah, that's a pushpin. Thumbtack (which it's not) doesn't work either.
Image was found here:

okay, someone is seriously messed up in the head.
Most of the "easier" puzzles have been harder than the "tougher" puzzles!
I got the hard one today, but still have no clue on this one!
wow. that was... um... tacky?
Just say what you see out loud and I'm sure you'll here... I mean hear it.
is this another butter puzzle??
[18] That would work if it was an actual picture of the answer instead of what was used.
Yeah, it's kind of a "margarine" puzzle.
[19] Not quite that bad.
[21] "margarine" is a good way to put it!
I'm wondering if what to call the object is a regional thing... Intellectually I know it's a pushpin, but I'd call it something different (and more appropriate for the puzzle) in general conversation.
it's not a butter puzzle. the answer isn't a pun. it's straightforward.
i agree that a better picture could have been used. but it's not like we have to assault the poor puzzle designer with killer tomatoes, is it?
[25] Maybe.... I'm clueless. Well, I have a clue (the blue pushpin), but it doesn't help me.
I agree - it's not A butter puzzle
and I feel fortunate that it came to me pretty quickly tonight (I needed a break after the hypercross and the OWW)!
So, by definition, (I guess) I liked it.
The answer is MUCH simpler than "the blue pushpin"
and the color is irrevelant
Technically this is a pushpin but I grew up hearing it called the other thing too since essentially you do the same thing with both (like the way you push it in and likely, what you use to do that with). That's probably why I tried the answer right away; I wasn't hung up on whether it was a-this or a-that. ;-)
So if you need to, close your eyes and pretend it's a brass thing with a flathead.
[27] Glad you got it, leadfoot, and you didn't have to bang your head as much as I did yesterday on the easy one. I'm surprised all of these came to me so easily tonight after my struggles the last couple of nights!
technically, yes it is a pushpin, but we always used the words "pushpin" and "thumbtack" interchangably in our house; i actually thought "well, it's a blue tack" when i first saw the puzzle.

Some nights are easier than others for others and some
edit: I *think* that makes sense...
got in the car to go play some poker and said to my husband "maybe the answer is _____". Then had to wait until I got home to see if I was right... and i was. Yay!
wow, i had actually thought of the answer, but kept dismissing it telling myself that was silly...oops.
It took you 1 hour, 56 minutes and 23 seconds to solve this puzzle.
Talk about being thick in the head tonight. sheesh.
wow...after reading 34 messages here I still have no idea what this is...
[35] I think it's late enough to be salty. Thanks to the messages here, I found out what the item was supposed to be called. Put an indefinite article in front of it and listen for a homonym.
The size is also not relevant.
I am sorry if you guys are having problems with this. I didn't mean to cause any headaches. This photo was obtained by searching google images for thumbtack, and it happened to be the first hit. I realize most people here are viewing the image as a pushpin, but that is the wrong angle to solve this one.
I am thinking this must be a regional thing, and most people don't also refer to pushpins as thumbtacks.
Again, I am sorry for choosing a sub-optimal image.

Hey! that's why it is called a "puzzle" :-)
Thanks for making it in the first place!
groan....
[36] Thanks, that's what I needed.
Yeah, wouldn't have gotten that without salt. Never, ever have I called that thing anything other than a pushpin. You won't get one of these if you ask for it by that name.
ridiculous.
I did laugh, though.
[27] I can't believe it's not a butter puzzle.

It's better than butter
to answer the question in the solution - yes.
