Feb 22, 2007 One Word Wonder Puzzle

Welcome newcomers –
For all the newbies here tonight:
There is another website that the Tangans use to share questions and answers about the Tanga puzzles and to post more blatant hints than you will find on this blog.

This has a separate Ze puzzle discussion.
The first post for tonight's Ze puzzle starts at:

Don’t forget to go check to see if there is a “next” page.

Also, if you are interested in the definition of some tangaisms you may encounter here (e.g. the use of the word “salt”) please check out the first post of

Damn slow internet connection, the videos took too long to load!

t'was an easy one.

Looks like another lonely night for the BGG Ze Frank thread :-)

It took me over 5 minutes because I had no freakin' clue what in the world the "1st of 5th" meant, and thought it referenced the descriptions. I R SMRT.

At least I was in the top...uh...30.

Can I get some salt please

So I did this first by ignoring the first reference and got jumbled letters for "woman." It made sense but wrong answer. Got it though.

[removed-left this in the wrong thread]

I am lost. is there some salt available?

Dont' you know how to dance correctly? It just take a little TLC.

Definitely a necessity for proper dancing :)

Too easy, could we get more thinky puzzles and less scavenger hunts through ze frank's page?

pretty standard tanga

Took me longer to find the proper location than to flip back and forth between here and there to solve the puzzle. No salt needed on this one folks.

[19] I expected all the Ze Puzzles to be based on Ze's site.

help the newbie guys.

You're not a real ZeFrank fan if you don't know where to look for this one.

You were the 90th Tanga member to solve this puzzle

Remember People, "necessity for proper dancing " Without this you would be at a loss.

(19) is all the salt you should need

* It took you 5 minutes and 7 seconds to solve this puzzle.
* You were the 88th Tanga member to solve this puzzle.
* Average solve time: 4 minutes and 46 seconds.
* Median solve time: 3 minutes and 10 seconds.
* 68.750% of Tanga members that have attempted this puzzle have solved it.

Yeesh. Guess I shoulda "passed the trash" and did this first. I also got easily distracted...So VERY amusing. Mmm...witch's brew. :)

[19] I think these puzzles are supposed to be less thinky and more hunty.

never heard of frank... till a few days ago.

I knew immediately what it was referring to, but how do we find the word? o.O

I found where I was suppose to be on Ze's site and ended up with jiperish

The "salt" so far in this thread has only succeeded in making me feel even more stupid.

[30] I know the feeling

watch and learn

You gotta pay attention to the instructor, guys.

[29] I end up with jiperish all the time. I think they sell a cream for it.

Edit: I finally got it. I still feel stupid, but not as stupid as I felt while reading this thread. Sometimes you have to watch instead of read.

the puzzle tells you where to use it.

in which the feet remain planted and the hands remain clasped.

yeah, i get that part, but still getting gibberish.

Watch out [35], if you add too much salt, it'll get ruined.

oh wait, i was using it on the wrong part... duh.

my first one without salt!

[36] Actually the puzzle does not tell you exactly where to use it, and is in fact quite misleading in that regard.

[35] Keep trying and trust that there is actually a set of words on which it will work.

Sorry if that was too salty. I noticed that Tanga-folks seem to need help on the Ze-bits, while Ze-folks seem to need help on the Tanga-bits.

Trust me when I tell you that Ze-folks do not need any help finding the correct page to which this puzzle applies. They do need a little help figuring out how to apply the tanga-bit to that page.

can't stop watching him dance..........

[42] I never said exactly. I just meant that there's more there to tell you where than one might notice at first, but then [37] twisted the top off the shaker.

PS: I use it everyplace I get the chance (especially the one 'in which...")

Luckily i read the wiki article about Ze today, otherwise i wouldn't have got it.

"How do you work this think? i've tried and tried and tried, but how do you work this thing"

EDIT: Oh duh I got it.

O.k. Ze!!! Give us something to move those neurons. How about something about the show. We're down to the last month - what are we ever going to do without you in the primaries.

That puzzle is tight! Oh, wait...

Am I the only one who is REALLY ANNOYED when people post the stats on how quickly they solved the puzzle?

Just wondering.

It took me blah blah minutes and blah blah seconds to solve this puzzle.
...

punk,
I've heard it said that the time it took to solve the puzzle can be a clue as well, i.e. if a lot of people get it really quickly, then the convoluted path your on might be worth deserting.

this is as much salt as I'm going to give:

note to punnkgenius, blah blah is not a number

Finally, I don't feel like a complete moron amongst the Tanga chapter of MENSA! Does anybody else feel like throwing things when they can't find a starting point on some of these puzzles, or am I becoming a self-loathing Hard-Charger?

Nice to see I was spot on on the HTML:

happy hunting!!!

oh gee i was looking at the wrong thing this entire time >_<

I am finally getting into the groove!

The day after I posted that I'm puzzle stupid, this one comes in and makes me feel good about myself. To all those saying this was too easy - easy is just my style!

I just looked at that particular feature on his sight a few days ago! Of course, the first time I tried to answer it I used the wrong method and got an anagram for Woman which I thought could be a possible answer - so I wasted some time there until I figured out what I was doing wrong.

Is it possible that I am looking at the wrong section of the site concerning watching someone dance for over 8 hours now?

[60] giersch

i'm getting TFTAR.... what the hell?!

help me please!

I got it first try and salt free! Whoo hoo!

For help I'll post something on the other board for you. :)

[68] Thanks. These old puzzles that direct to zefrank are pretty frustrating.
