    Didn't really care for this one.

  2. FileStrawberryUofIKappaDelta on Jan 02, 2008 07:08 PM

    grrr. Hate it....and can't get it

  3. FilePancakesjmcintyre on Jan 02, 2008 07:08 PM

    I can't tell what the middle image in the bottom row is supposed to be, and my brain isn't connecting the pieces around it :/

  4. FileAppleABBAbear on Jan 02, 2008 07:09 PM

    Grrr. I can't get the bottom line

  5. FileStrawberryUofIKappaDelta on Jan 02, 2008 07:10 PM

    me neither Abba. I think I'm stuck with the last photo. Everything I'm trying isn't giving me a word

  6. Avatar_profileWatermelonnervousone on Jan 02, 2008 07:10 PM

    What the hell is that supposed to be in the top left and the bottom middle?!?

  7. FileAppleABBAbear on Jan 02, 2008 07:11 PM

    [3] and what IS that middle image supposed to be?

  8. FileGarlicmartinp13 on Jan 02, 2008 07:11 PM

    I don't even know what the first thing is. :)

  9. FileBananamanowarplayer on Jan 02, 2008 07:11 PM

    What is that first image supposed to be?

  10. Avatar_profileRadishbork on Jan 02, 2008 07:12 PM

    [8], [9] i'm guessing it's a small mountain... have no idea about the middle bottom though

  11. FileStrawberryUofIKappaDelta on Jan 02, 2008 07:12 PM

    you guys are really making a mountain out of a molehill.

  12. AvatarDuckiesteph_frolin on Jan 02, 2008 07:14 PM

    Clever, if not obvious enough. Google is your friend on the bottom middle

  13. FileBananamanowarplayer on Jan 02, 2008 07:14 PM

    Well, I think I have it, but it's not liking the spelling I think.

  14. FileStrawberryUofIKappaDelta on Jan 02, 2008 07:15 PM

    what in the world would you google to figure that one out???

  15. FileAppleABBAbear on Jan 02, 2008 07:17 PM

    Finally!!!

    I had already considered the correct answer for bottom middle, but it was the last one that I wasn't getting. It is a bit of a stretch on the last one, you have to make an assumption. But it works in the end.

  16. FilePotatoDoomDahDoomDoom on Jan 02, 2008 07:19 PM

    Whee! A top 100.

  17. FileSailboatESQuire on Jan 02, 2008 07:23 PM

    The middle of the bottom row: Are those 2 letters?

  18. FileRocketYollege on Jan 02, 2008 07:23 PM

    Ack. That stupid bottom-middle picture has got me lost...

  19. FileBananamanowarplayer on Jan 02, 2008 07:24 PM

    Ok. Im officially stumped. I think I have the answer too. Tangagram anyone?

  20. Avatar_profileApplemispri2 on Jan 02, 2008 07:25 PM

    I think the bottom middle is pretty much spelled out; although not as neatly as the top middle

  21. FileBananamanowarplayer on Jan 02, 2008 07:27 PM

    [18] I think the bottom middle and top middle mean the same thing.

  22. FilePancakesArnott (Tanga Admin) on Jan 02, 2008 07:27 PM

    Ugh. The bottom middle is also "uh." And even though the top is a "first" the answer is not a "first."

  23. FileBananamanowarplayer on Jan 02, 2008 07:32 PM

    [22] Well then I don't have it. I thought it was a 1st.

  24. Bunny91Garlicheatherlouwho on Jan 02, 2008 07:32 PM

    OMG! My first 100! WOOT!

  25. Avatar_profileApplekswitz on Jan 02, 2008 07:33 PM

    not getting it. Got all the pix except possibly the last one, and can't figure out an answer that seems to work with what I have...

  26. FileCheeseburgerQurqirishDragon on Jan 02, 2008 07:35 PM

    I got it, although it seems more like Bill should be the answer... :-)

  27. FileGarlicmartinp13 on Jan 02, 2008 07:38 PM

    [25] Same here

  28. FileClockJewelia on Jan 02, 2008 07:38 PM

    [26] LOL!

  29. Avatar_profileRadishrmcelroy on Jan 02, 2008 07:38 PM

    Ugh. Weak.

  30. FileGarlicHope2002 on Jan 02, 2008 07:38 PM

    People are pretty liberal with the vowel sounds in these.

  31. FileBananamanowarplayer on Jan 02, 2008 07:42 PM

    Well, what I have makes sense, unless I have the wrong word for the past pic... any salt?

  32. Avatar_profileAceGertSoB on Jan 02, 2008 07:42 PM

    Who's the woman on the top right?

  33. FileBananaukkonen on Jan 02, 2008 07:44 PM

    i had the bottom row almost right away. kept thinking of a star trek movie

  34. SouthparkPepperTahnan on Jan 02, 2008 07:45 PM

    That was terrible. The extreme stretch in vowels ("Chelsea" seemed awfully likely), the first name/last name lack of parallelism, the fact that the second line isn't a particularly accurate clue...feh.

  35. FileRocketPhantaCComics on Jan 02, 2008 07:45 PM

    ah, that bottom middle pic I was seeing as "un" but I had the rest. That was throwing me waaaay off base.

  36. FileGarlicmartinp13 on Jan 02, 2008 07:46 PM

    Sorry, but lame. The answer should be the OTHER half, to match the puzzle (which I tried 30 minutes ago). And I agree with [30]... if the vowel sounds aren't right, it makes solving a lot harder. Not everyone speaks the same way, even within the US.

  37. FilePepperpepperhead on Jan 02, 2008 07:46 PM

    got the answer, still do not see the connection

  38. FileBananamanowarplayer on Jan 02, 2008 07:53 PM

    GAH! forget it.

  39. Avatar_profileAceGertSoB on Jan 02, 2008 07:55 PM

    Frustrating that I got all the other ones - was 20th or so for both the hard one-word and the hypercross - but can't get this one.

  40. Avatar_profileApplekswitz on Jan 02, 2008 07:56 PM

    Ok..got it....but you have to think very specifically about the last pic in the bottom row. Where does she fit in the family dynamic?

  41. FileRadishmhuber on Jan 02, 2008 08:00 PM

    [33] THANK YOU!! Once I checked out the Star Trek movies I figured out what the bottom was REALLY saying!

  42. FileCarrotpitamuffin on Jan 02, 2008 08:07 PM

    [41] Yep, that did it for me, too. So thank you [33]!

  43. FileStrawberrymasterminx on Jan 02, 2008 08:10 PM

    [33] That saved me. I liked that movie least of the series. Bleh.

    This was pretty weak, and certainly takes liberties with strategies and opposition.

  44. Avatar_profileAceGertSoB on Jan 02, 2008 08:27 PM

    OK, I finally got it, with help from [33],[41],[42] and [43], and once I had that I figured out who the woman at the top right is. But the vowels are *really* screwed up. There's no way I would have got it without the ST hint, no matter how many times I sounded it out. And then once I got it there were so many answers to choose from!

  45. FilePotatorevchewie on Jan 02, 2008 09:24 PM

    And the trend continues. What is **up** with these hard "easy" puzzles?

  46. FilePotatorevchewie on Jan 02, 2008 09:27 PM

    Funny!!! I went to look at the "hard" and the ad to the right of the puzzle is "Hillary for 2008".

  47. Avatar_profileStrawberrydalmuti on Jan 02, 2008 09:27 PM

    Tried a random answer, loosely based on the top pictures, and got it. I still have no idea what the bottom three images are.

  48. FileStrawberrysmilingra on Jan 03, 2008 12:25 AM

    Lousy puzzle - I don't see how the bottom right picture helps with the star trek movie reference.

  49. FilePumpkinJohn on Jan 03, 2008 02:48 AM

    salt: female sibling

  50. FileSailboatcmg528 on Jan 03, 2008 04:30 AM

    I kept trying to find a way to type in what the puzzle said, not thinking to type in the answer to the puzzle ..grrr

  51. FileGrapesStexe on Jan 03, 2008 04:48 AM

    This puzzle is one word? What?

  52. FileGrapesStexe on Jan 03, 2008 04:54 AM

    Wow, finally got it... it is just stupid. I got the 2nd part easily after a few clues but kept thinking it was related to StarTrek (it isn't in any way). Plus, the person on the far left really has nothing to do with the sound...

  53. FileAppleRicochet on Jan 03, 2008 06:25 AM

    Lousy puzzle. Standard crossword puzzle logic: a clue containing a "plural" refers to a plural answer. Likewise, a first-name clue *should* refer to a first-name answer. I had the correct answer straight off, then wasted 30 mins playing out-guess the puzzler, before realizing that it was poorly constructed.

  54. FileBananaBobcat on Jan 03, 2008 06:43 AM

    Ouch. Yes, it is stupid.

    For those needing some serious salting, you are not looking for the word, you are looking for a *clue*.

  55. FilePepperChupper on Jan 03, 2008 06:49 AM

    Thanks John [49], that got it for me. Boo.

  56. Avatar_profilePeachdave619 on Jan 03, 2008 07:05 AM

    I got it finally but I still dont know what the black and white thing is.

  57. FilePumpkinJohn on Jan 03, 2008 10:10 AM

    [56] It's another UH. Substitute it with another picture of the idiot president if that helps.

  58. Dave5Grapessaintomer on Jan 03, 2008 10:21 AM

    I got it, but I still don't get the last line.

  59. Avatar_profilePlumfnord on Jan 03, 2008 10:30 AM

    Okay, with enough help from the nicely salty comments, I got the clue. But, I still got nothing from there. Way too many options, from what Google's telling me.

  60. FileBananaejcarter9 on Jan 03, 2008 11:12 AM

    Getting better. Sure, it took 4 and a half minutes, but got there in the end.

  61. FileSailboattrumanj on Jan 03, 2008 12:18 PM

    so i got the riddle part but i keep typing her personality and its not accepting it...

  62. FileAppleRicochet on Jan 03, 2008 12:28 PM

    [61] LOL! Yeah, sooo many to choose from...

    When I put the 'clue' into Google, it returned: "Results 1 - 10 of about 30,000" ;-)

  63. FileAppledlandon2000 on Jan 03, 2008 02:37 PM

    For all those who have figured out the clue but not the answer think short term and in the current context. No need to think of past events or possible future ones...

  64. Avatar_profileKiwiampherion on Jan 03, 2008 05:07 PM

    Did it, don't agree with the hints, and it definitely takes liberties on the sound fragments. I specifically didn't like the last frame, as it wasn't specific enough. The relationship mentioned only works from one perspective.

  65. FilePancakeshatemachine on Jan 03, 2008 05:26 PM

    I hated it til I figured it out. I like it jewelia.

  66. AvatarDuckiesteph_frolin on Jan 03, 2008 05:37 PM

    I'm missing a lot of the meanings vowel comments. Of all the puzzles I've tried to sound things out or say them aloud, this is the first one that ever really fit. The top is clear and the bottom left may be a slight stretch but I can't think of another way to present it. And the bottom right was easy based on another puzzle looking for the name of a lung disease.

  67. FileClockJewelia on Jan 04, 2008 05:53 AM

    [65] Thanks. Perhaps it makes more sense now, at least in Iowa. ;-)

  68. Avatar_profilePearratattak on Jan 08, 2008 09:54 PM

    rotten filth.

  69. FractalTomatodduensing on Oct 14, 2009 11:23 PM

    For those solving this puzzle after 2008, this puzzle refers to people who ran against each other during the democratic presidential primary races.

    As of 2009, both people now have federal jobs.
