You are a freaking genius!!, you solved this puzzle.
You solved this puzzle in 1 minute and 37 seconds and were the 20th Tanga member to solve it. You earned 88 points for solving this.
Ugh! I was just talking about this guy today, and still couldn't figure it out right away. I guess it's been way too long since 9th grade English class (my teacher was a dead-ringer for the guy!).
I'm glad most of you are having fun with my first contribution to Daily Fun - too bad I was away yesterday and didn't know it was going to be up until this morning... I think enough salt is out there, but if you really can't get it, wait for the hints - I think they're pretty helpful.
And I now know a whole lot more than I ever wanted to about that show. Taking [25]'s salt I read all the WP pages on the show, and eventually found the answer. (Hint: it's NOT on the main page for the show, so don't bother with that one.)
I wouldn't have ever gotten it if it weren't for the background. I recognized the old man right away because of a certain time traveling Venture Bros. episode. "His head is like a melon!"
I realized who it is after a minute, but I thought JWB at first too. Do an image search on him in google, and some of the pics look a heck of a lot like the one here, hand in the coat and all.
so funny. When I saw what the picture was in the background I knew what the answer was going to be before even looking at the actual puzzle. Was still fun though.

For some reason I thought it was John Wilkes Booth at first. Here's a hint: it's not.

No one asks for the answer. Just a nudge which way to go.
[11] I should donate my points to you... that was MOST excellent salt. ;)

It is not in the form of a question. You don't need the background to solve this one.

(is this less salty?) the answer might sound familiar to people who watch the background a lot

[25] Yes, much less salty... thanks. :)

I don't hate this puzzle yet... but "random image searches without context" really suck. I have no idea who that grainy old photo is of.
