cool. good nite for me.
Edit: Finally got this one. Thanks, [58], that was indeed the salt I needed. I usually don't like it when people bash on puzzles, but this one was a bit obscure. Mildly clever yes, but that was frustrating for me to work through.
[24] I remember using a typewriter very much like this one for high school and college papers. Each key stroke was loud, you had to use correction tape (or worse, white out) to fix errors, and heaven help you if you had to re-insert the paper and try to align the type again. Yeah, those were the days...
[57] As others have said, a thesaurus is very helpful. You don't want to look up what you believe is missing, as that would be the answer. So what other word in the puzzle might you want to reference?
[65] 1. look for wats missing on the key board.
2. wat other word in the puzzle seems important.
3. try to apply 1. to 2. use a thesaurus if u need one
Definitely a puzzle that needed work. For example, there's more than one thing missing from that typewriter. Granted, they are the same thing, but it's not a plural that they're looking for. Plus, technically they aren't missing...

Looking at the original picture this image came from and can see at least three things missing, but none of them are coming up correct.

[4] Yes, the typewriter. It's the only thing in the picture (unless the missing elephant is what I'm looking for). :)

[11] LAZY is very important. there r two things that really stand out that r missing, but only one if them is used in the answer.

Posted on Wed Jan 16, 2008 07:24 PM |
So, the answer isn't really what is missing.

I had no idea that's what that meant. And it's not the caret that's missing.

206. The answer isn't what's missing, it's how you might describe an object that is missing that.

I'm still lost. I don't see any keys missing from the typewriter, so I'm not sure where else to look.

[50]Not salty enough for me. :( I see the shift and the caret seem to be missing but entering in either one isn't it.

Finally got it... use a thesaurus and the answer will jump out at you from the list of synonyms. It is not a word I know.
