1st! Woo Hoo!
Edit: Loved that one as a kid!
that's got me stumped
LOL @ "stumped" - since that is all that would be left after the third pic was removed!
Ack - down to 61st because of punctuation - or a lack thereof!
for the second day in a row, I don't usually have trouble with this one :o(
holy punctuation
is there punctuation?? I know this and can't get it to work!
never heard of this. clusty is my friend.
that missing punctuation messed me up too
correct spelling is a must
knowing the answer is a must, too
[11] lol, yeah that helps a lot
and is it just me or are we missing a puzzle tonight?
When I went to school, this rocked the house.
I just found out all these years, I had the 2nd word wrong. Always thought it repeats the 1st word.
BTW, that thing on the bottom is not a wooden wine bottle, it's used to row a boat!
hey! [16] that's about the ONLY thing I've gotten out of this one so far, that and the silly wabbit lol
[14] I like it!
[13] from what I have read, it was up earlier and we missed it!
[19] really? how much earlier, I've been checking the site since 8:30 and haven't seen it.
It was apparently up BRIEFLY at 9:20 Eastern
[20] I read Domino's comments on the HOWW - he didn't say when, just that he completed it, unless his comment was a red herring!
hhmm...they are timed now? that's just NOT fair!!! sniff sniff,,,I want my puzzle back!
<g>
The new hypercross came up a little after 9:00, then shortly after that, after one person completed it, it dissapeared.
This is getting to be like the products - you never know when they come or go, but if you wait a while, they come back, only cheaper!
well I'm batting 0 for 3 tonight, that is NOT good lol
(14)Scoutmom, so far was the best salt for me. Looked that up and finally found it.
[27] how did you look that up? I tried verbatim as well as combo's - no luck
What do you puzzlemakers have against correct punctuation?
You need to know what type of ship it is. Might be something you find in a bag of Tanga Trash.
I don't see how anyone would get that word from that pic, I kept saying 'shipleg', not even close. Maybe you have to figure out what the ship is full of.
[29] People complain when it is correct and when it is not correct. This one split the difference with one used and one skipped.
[31] It's what kind it is.
If you lived in the Song dynasty between 960-1270 you would have seen many of these. The English pronunciation of the word fits with [30]
:)
Okay...tried 7 different spellings and punctuations...none take....can I tanga someone please?
Ok, I've got the 'wooden wine bottle', the album, and the type of ship. Thats where my trail goes cold. Any help with pictures 1 and 3?
NVM, thanks to [39]
Great- now I'm gonna have the song stuck in my head. ;p
Very poor puzzle.
I solved it but have never heard of it.
It's not a "ship" nor is it a "leg".
The album is also virtually unknown.
Other than Bugs Bunny and the prisoner (which is also not intuitive) nothing is what it appears to be.
I solved the puzzle and through back-solving finally figured out what the leg is meant to represent. Maybe there should be an arrow pointing to the front? If it had been more obvious it would have been easier to overlook the wooden wine bottle.
fun puzzle nonetheless
Gah!
The boats and rabbit were the only part I got right off the start.
There are THREE punctuation in the correct title (according to their site)... that's 6 combos... try just the apostrophe
good salt 14
I figured it out, but still have no idea about the ship. I like the tanga trash idea better.
Thanks [41] I was getting aggravated. I think tanga should just strip all punctuation when checking the answer. That, or leave it as an option for the puzzle designer.
Thanks to [15] and [39]
This puzzle rocks!
[38] I wouldn't call this a "very poor puzzle." I didn't personally care for the ship clue, but I got the leg, "bottle," and album immediately, then backfilled the rest. There are pretty darn famous sayings and titles that we all haven't heard of, so just because you don't know it doesn't make it a bad puzzle.
This was an excellent puzzle. Brought back wonderful memories.
Wow, I thought this was a great puzzle. Good job Tintin.
Great Puzzle. Finally got it when I figured out the leg part
i don't get how it is what it is, but i got it.
okay. my husband just did it after me, and figured it out and explained what the things are. Chinese? come on. who would have known that.
again with the punctuation. if you aren't going to use the right punctuation, why use any at all?
[47] It's not a bad puzzle because I've never heard of it and it is hardly "famous". (I have also been around long enough to have heard just about everything.)
It is a bad puzzle because the clues sucked.
[solved this puzzle in 45 seconds and were the 538th Tanga member to solve ]
is that fast? took that long to say it, I think.
This puzzle puts me at 5,000. Thanks!
