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.
You solved this puzzle in 1 minute and 56 seconds and were the 1st Tanga member to solve it. You earned 110 points for solving this.
I think that's my first first.
Dang it. I should know this stuff.
salt?
[3] Your username helps.
Sang "Hallelujah" when I finally put the pieces together.
With the "thin" reference in there, I really wanted the answer to be lovehandles (too bad it's not a single word).
Had the score in front of me in 10 seconds but did every other possible method first. Oh wells.
Rather annoying for an easy puzzle, eventually got it though.
i have the song/watever it is. i just dont kno wat to do w/ it. any more salt?
I am with you [8].
Did not enjoy.
sigh...i'm stuck.
[8] Are you looking at the verses now?
i have the verses in front of me. doesnt make sense atm
This is easier than it looks. Look for Tanga numbers. The names should lead you to some very specific numbers.
The placement of the examples is more important than their content.
[12],[13] Don't think chapters and verses - think verses and refrains. In four-part harmony.
I've almost got a "grip" on this. I know the work and the verse numbers (all from Part I). but applying those 4 numbers, gives "htht" (will edit if too salty). Where am I going wrong?
That was easy??
still nothing here. agree w/ [17] tanga letters arent making sense
ive tried several ways already n im not getting words.
[17] Apply to something more general than what the puzzle contains.
My first top 100...thanks
[21] For example, the title of the work? It would need to include the artist's name to have enough letters.
Is the answer only 4 letters?
bah...do I have to be religious to get this??? I already know I'm going to hell, I don't need a puzzle to remind me :(
[23] For example, something you usually apply TNs to. Not specific to this puzzle theme or content.
Yes, 4 letters.
[25] If the TNs apply to something unrelated to the puzzle, then it doesn't make a very good puzzle does it? I'm just not finding the "general" key to which you refer.
ok, music and religion, neither are my forte
[24] funny! :)
[24] - meet you there! This all depended on where you got your score. I worked with 6,8,11,3 for a long time. Didn't work too well with those numbers!
[27] Really just music. The religion is a bonus... :O If you can figure out what the song names have in common, you might still be able to Score big points...
[29] ok... good to know. so now the puzzle is finding the right web site... awesome.
I've stared at this for an hour, I give up. don't know where to apply the numbers to get anything useful.
To those having difficulty with the numbers, please refer to the use of Tanga Numbers in this FAQ: http://www.tanga.com/forum/blogs/980_PUZZLER_FAQS
I'm not sure what else to say since the entire method is pretty much spelled out in this thread. Good luck!
I knew my copy of this would come in handy someday. I just didn't know I would be using it to solve a puzzle.
[34] I didn't know I'd be using it to make one!
HA! I can rest now:
You solved this puzzle in 6 hours, 33 minutes and 6 seconds and were the 138th Tanga member to solve it.
Thanks for the FAQ, my salt is get the numbers tha close this window if your stuck... too much noise here
I can sing all the alto parts noted here in my sleep.
Finally solved after 12 hours. I really hated this puzzle. There are way too many versions of the score out there to find the proper Tanga Numbers. And then the key really has nothing to do with the puzzle which is a little misleading. It's solvable, but just a little too inconsistent for my tastes.
I understand what to do with TNs. too many options. not enough knowledge of music. I'll pass on this one. thanks though.
4 minutes 14 seconds.
And the congratulations screen called me a "freaking genius" XD What's all that about?
once I got a handle on the clues this wasn't too hard. It took some sleeping on.
As a former choirgirl, I recognized these right away. It would DEFINITELY be harder for someone who doesn't sing or go to Christmas concerts.
I got the song, the composer, and I think the numbers. Using the numbers on the song and composer don't seem to help. Salt on BGG anyone?
Yes, it was easy, even though I didn't know the source beforehand. A few quick googles pointed me in the right direction, and the actual solve method was the first one I thought of. It still took me 23 minutes, though, because I stopped to listen to a few youtube clips...
