Dec 14, 2007 Cryptopix Puzzle

Second! My highest finish since we started getting points for finishing sooner.

well they left out someones name but im still lost....salt?

Thought for sure it was 'seven card draw'

Hope that's not one of those inadvertently salty comments... I haven't solved yet

Graffy, you're giving so much salt, there's nothing else I could add. Once you get it, you'll probably want to edit your comment.

Thanks yendi lmao i finally got it. yes i will edit

does case matter?

Woot my first top 100!

a tiny grain of salt pls - I must be missing something

is the identity of the person at the pencil tip important?

I'm 99% sure it is but my answers that make sense to me don't work :(

[9] You bet.

Good one!

Oh man, I groaned when I finally got this one. I am such a slowpoke.

[13] if youre a slowpoke, what am I? I still ahve no idea, even though I knew right off the bat the name thats missing.

Definite groan on this one!

oh...geez...that was over the top

I still don't get it

I'm with you. Know the missing person, and throwing out as much relevant words as I can and still nothing...

say it out loud that helped me

ok... i dunno if you can say this on the thread or not... but is the missing name the same as the pencil-pointed guy?

I tried the name of that little racecar...no luck there

Say it out loud to someone else. That's what got it for us.

They're looking at me funny, and I still am no closer :)

[23] same here. She just looked at me like I was crazy and asked for his 'nickname' in the movie... I gave up on her.

This is an action and a guy

[26] I got that... just not getting anything out of it. Thanks though.

When you say it out loud, pretend you are using an Australian accent.

For any stragglers, note that even though there's an easel, the hand doesn't have a brush. Therefore the word represented is not "paint".

AAARRRGGGGHHHHHHH 'nuff said

I tried the accent... I'm still an idiot... still nothing.

Funny thing is that the easel threw me and caused me to take so long (no salt in this statement).

Long enough with the australian accent finally got the right inflection... thanks [28] If you wouldn't have said that I would have never got it... Really had to manipulate my pronunciation...

[33] Thanks cagedsoul. Kept saying it ove rand over, but the Australian accent hit it right away.

*laugh* Okay, that was actually a really cool puzzle.

Thanks for the accent comment! I got it now!

But is he ...? :-)

You guys are making me look like a fool. Sitting here saying the action and the guy's name over and over with a bad Australian accent. I have no idea.

[37] me too. I'm not even sure I have the right action. I can't get it to sound like anything other than what it is. and that makes so sense with the guy's name.

dang... it just hit me. clever.

thanks [26]...... I actually have several items with this phrase on it and it still took me a while.

well done

the final answer does not include the actual action, but the action is used to get the answer (is this too much salt?)

only 16 hours, 5 minutes and 31 seconds later, woot! Saying it out loud did the trick.

saying it out loud in an Australian accent is the ultimate salt for this one...

Is the guy being pointed to have the name of a Christmas tradition? Been saying things that sound good, but they are not working.

Was making that one way too hard!

[2] and [4] are probably too much salt.
