Oh, man, this is HeatherLou's salt post all over the place!
You solved this puzzle in 1 minute and 32 seconds and were the 6th Tanga member to solve it. You earned 105 points for solving this.
guessed it based on the pics in the background.
got it from a guess - no idea on the actual solve method
I guessed as well, but cannot figure out intended method
Nicely done!
Got it on a guess, too.
Ummm?
Hey guessers - TG me what you used for your guess, I'm two curious.
No salt here
Another guesser here ... used the background pictures (as [2] suggested).
I can't make much out in the background, it is hard to see for me.
I have no idea what the background pictures are.
I know three of the four..... still nothing...
The upper right one really helps, especially if you know his early work...
*goes to make lots and lots of popcorn*
[12] all i needed was the bottom right pic. when u say this word, u usually come up with him. (dont forget, there are multiple ppl)
Got it on a background guess, but looking back, there is a method.
[15] care to enlighten me on the method with a TG? i can see why the answer is 8 letters long, but thats all i can get...
Guessed based on background.
I can't see the pictures well enough to make any use of them
I, too, guessed, but I just figured out the solve method. You're evil, Steph, but I say that in a good way.
[14] The right word was one of the first I checked. But I did not pluralize!
[16] You can count on the answer to be hidden in the clues.
[21] spills the salt
Guessed twice on the background after reading these comments, but could only identify the bottom right photo. Got the answer on the 2nd guess which was more than one (my first guess) since there are 4 pictured. I'll stare at it a while longer to see if I can work out any other way to determine/deduce the answer from the text.
[14] DANGIT!! That was my first guess except without the plural.
[24] Me too. GEEZ!
I just figured out the solve method, too. BRILLIANT(s), Steph! I wish I'd used it instead of guessing from the background!
I had a different background originally, but testers found this one to be more on topic. Too on topic apparently.
Hee hee hee...very nice solve method.
Heh.. Yeah, I liked that one.
So, fess up.. who here got it *without* guessing based on the background?
I agree with [26] -the backsolve was more fun! However, being one to rarely guess (from a picture or not)correctly, I do take some satifaction from a successful guess...although I did read the posts, so it wasn't a blind guess... :) Good one, Steph_frolin!
[29] Me.
I got it guessing based on these posts :)
But I totally see how it should be solved. Nice.
Very clever puzzle - well done steph!
Got it from the images also - but it backsolves beautifully!
I still have no idea what the right solve method is. I see nothing.
GAH! I was mis-spelling it!
I tried guessing and got nothing but finally found the solve method. Very clever technique!
[21] is right on. Some English teachers tell you how long your essay needs to be based upon this. Now you have what is referenced in the first tip.
I got it, but I have NO idea how. lol Guess I'm some sort of freaking genius... or at least that's what TANGA says. I tend to disagree.
[13] One of my favorite movies.
Very tricky for an "easy" puzzle... I guessed based on the background, then backsolved it. I like the method, though.
EDIT: What's funny is your "four example" turned out to be a "FALSE SOLVE METHOD" for me.
[13] and [14] were super salty for me. Thanks Mitch and Chris.
[38] Oh, Murdoctor, you should have asked for salt, first. Then Steph would have been reminded of his "signs that your puzzle is in trouble" list, and he would have had a good chuckle! :)
Nice puzzle.
IT would have been alot more fun without the background images. The solve method is pretty cool. Good job.
Thanx 14, that was what i needed for a coorect guess...
Guessed based on the salt, but still don't see the solve method. I think I tried a lot of the things [38] was trying too.
Don't like solving puzzles by guesses and would rather they weren't "guessable" like that. Don't feel like I earned my points (though I put in more than enough time...)
[14] I was so caught up in the other two puzzles I actually forgot I had not done this one!!! I looked and looked and and tried the singular, never thought of there being more than one person then tried that and there it was! thanks
[41] I would be interested in the solve method, as I really didn't use one.
