Cryptopix

Easy one.....

Never heard of it. Got it anyway.

STU with this one - Yahoo!

not seeing this one

Nice.

those first two pics are really the frosting on the cake.

Just not getting the chalked figure

Got confused by the ghost of Walt Whitman.

Any salt for that last picture? or am I just missing something really obvious?

Fun one, scoutmom!

[7] It's what was there, but isn't there any more.

[9] It's an old children's TV show, but you may know it better from your monthly bills.

[8] Shouldn't be any confusion at all, he started this whole thing!

is [6] salt or a red herring? I'm getting nowhere starting that way . . .

EDIT: Meh. Whatever. It's late and I'm sure I'm making this harder than it is. Goodnight tanga.

EDIT: Day 2. [6] is a huge red herring. That'll have you down every possible sort of rabbit trail. Also, you will want cake. And herring.

I don't get it. and the background image between the bottom two images confused me.

[13] I don't get it either, I know the last image, but that viking lady doesn't fit at all.

WHAT!! there is an image there???

Now I don't feel so bad about not getting this one, that I know you haven't either, unless you really did get it and this is just your comment on it.

Wow that is weird, if I look at my monitor at an angle I can see some bearded guy, but my eyes SUCK!!

[8] Uhhhh, who? Did he invent the Whitman Sampler?

Edit: Was I really supposed to know that was him by that background image? I didn't even see that it was there. I don't know how anyone could even tell that's who it is, unless you have really good eyes.

Who would know, can't hardly see it. Heck I never even knew it was there until monocle mentioned it, no wonder I couldn't get this puzzle. So is that a viking, is it what she is doing, yell, shout, scream, no idea on this.

I thought [8] was talking about the chalk figure all this time, like that is who was chalked around, ha.
Got it, but I never heard of that before, ever. Who ever said that??
The phantom image does not seem to matter one way or the other in solving.

[14] What is the viking lady doing?

c'mon we all should know what the fat lady does...

Wow, so after much consideration, I just typed in what I was saying out loud as a wild guess and it worked. I really appreciate the solution explanation on puzzles like this, because I had never heard of the answer before!

If there is something in the background it is not viewable, period.

A beautiful puzzle referencing something very beautiful. Thanks scoutmom, loved it.

I went with [21] and got it, but I wan't familiar with this, so I also appreciated the solution being displayed now.

I don't know about the Walt Whitman connection, but the movie Fame comes to mind.

the hints W and TTZ are so faint that I didn't even see them. solved it without but next time, Make The Hints More Noticable, Please. (just because it shows on YOUR monitor doesn't mean it shows on anyone elses)

Ah, scoutmom, what you shall assume, I shall assume.

Fantastic puzzle!

And leave the grass to me.

salt and Google were my friends

The answer is really obscure. Couldn't have done it without Google. Just type in what you see and you'll get your answer. Thanks [10] your hints did it for me.

Thank God for those Twilight Zone marathons or I may have struggled with this one.

[26] And to all who could not view the background "hints" - I actually did "test" the background on multiple monitors and tweaked it accordingly. Unfortunately, making it more noticeable for some makes it TOO obvious for others. If your monitor is optimized for gaming, you probably will miss most of the "background" images.

I actually thought the pic clues were sufficient on their own without those, they were just kind of an "added bonus" anyway.

[29] Obscure? Well, maybe not the most widely known saying, but it covers a very broad spectrum - Science Fiction, Television, Music and Classic Poetry.

WHAT background images???

I love it!

LEAVES something to be desired. :P

[34] haha, thanks!
