ARGH!
Hopefully someone will post it again.

Could we get a little salt Raymond? Maybe a description of what we should be seeing? :)
Any link? Like before?

Never saw the puzzle
Nice quality assurance, guys...
Any chance someone can post this as a jpg.
I thought that was how they were to be submitted.
[14] Exactlly. Puzzle never loaded, but I was able to solve it anyways. I feel so dirty.
Nope. Can't see any puzzle.
"Broken" isn't the answer.
Maybe the puzzle is the broken link...
Yep no graphics needed for this one.

[18] I absolutely feel dirty as well. But, after that last puzzle of the puzzlethon, I feel like getting a little dirty is warranted.
Doesn't apply anymore since puzzle has been put restored (like the new filename though :))
EDIT: Link no longer needed since the image has been fixed.
jeez, i had no clue looking at the image (using Safari on the Mac). The hint that you could solve it without seeing it worked though. Not a single clue how to get that from the real image yet, however.
Yes. I was 4th, and I still haven't seen the puzzle.
Okay, now that the link has been posted, I don't feel as dirty... I solved it that way, too.
No, really, I still feel dirty.
Hey... too much salt... that's not cool.
That is freakin' hilarious!
TR
Funny. I got it the "right" way from the image (thanks techgirl). But now I see...
Thanks [25] and [27]!
magicode, that is way too much salt. You really should edit that comment.
Now that I've seen the image, I realize it's a clever puzzle.
Guess this just ain't my day *sigh*
You worked so hard on the puzzle too... ah well, you had a couple fun ones in the puzzlethon.
okay, now to backsolve....!???
Well - dirty girl too - solved but not solved.
That's too bad. Puzzle was quite clever.
Groan - visual pun
Very clever. I got it from the picture that wasposted, because I didn't even think to look at the [dirty clue]
Here's a link to the original image:

Don't forget to count...
it's a cute puzzle. let us give you a virtual hug for the effort. *DoMi*
im putting in what i think is the easy right answer and it isn't it?????
Forget it. An anvil just landed and I'm ok now.
OOPS. The puzzle is there now.
You are welcome.
Aaron.
From the mouths of babes. My four year old daughter asked me the perfect questions to give me the aha moment.

You people say theres too much salt but i dont see any
i'm with you [53]. i assume it has to do with the massively repeated word in this blog, but that didn't give me anything. and i've tried putting in every form of capital punishment i could think of and that got me nowhere. and i tried thinking outside the box and that didn't work. any hints? counted and nothing.
There's some salt in [46]; the reference to too much salt was before they fixed the puzzle.
well its not tennis... or chevy s-10.. any more hints?
ok i got the first step.
google gives me nothing.
That did it for me.. hfd, you are getting close
so i got it but it was pure luck.
could someone please tell me how they got the answer without even seeing the picture? I would think you would at least need to see the title or something!
[56] highfloydelity: You're 2/3 there ... just need to take the big-picture shape into consideration.
You have already solved this puzzle.
It took you 12 minutes and 33 seconds.
You are the 124th fastest Tanga member to solve this puzzle.
You were the 163rd Tanga member to solve this puzzle.
[46] definitely helped ... thanks!
Okay, this is killing me. Does the "Capital Punishment?!?" have anything to do with the answer, or is that just a clever title? I understand the state the letters are in, but no variation on that has been the correct answer.
Well... I got the obvious answer, but...
nevermind.. got it.. ouch
[62] Russish
Yes the title is very important to solving the puzzle, but you don't have to die to solve it.
still don't know what 'dirty' has to do with anything... and how in the hell could someone solve without the puzzle? just guess random words until one works?
I think it's "PUN"ishment. And the other word is useful too.
[65] highfloydelity
when the puzzle was first posted, it didn't show up as a picture, but as a filename. The answer was part of the filename.
[66] John
yes! I couldn't figure just what to say there!
Ugh. Finally got it. I thought of that possibility really early on, but immediately dismissed it without trying it because I had reversed a couple of key definitions of some similar words, if'n you know what I mean.
Wow. I didn't mean to sound cheeky when I said I got it! I just assumed that since I could see it, it meant that they'd fixed it! Apparently, it was just serendipity that I happened to be on from an iMac that was capable of displaying the Photoshop file.
that took me longer than it should - but then both my wife and son having been interrupting me the entire time I started.
Well gosh, that's a long time to leave [2] sitting there with the http://SALT.SALT.SALT.SALT.SALT.SALT.jpg in it.
No wonder people who didn't see the picture solved it faster than the ones who got the picture.
Ray -- that was a real groaner. I loved it!
Ugh...finally got it after almost a year.
Count the S letters, then add the larger letter and it should give you a one in 50 shot of solving step 1......
Now, after you have that, read the title of the puzzle again, and narrow down the location for the final answer (step 2).
[74] Glad you posted that. I was frustrated, thinking, "How is this NOT 10- _ _ _ _ _ ?
