Most puzzles have a background that adds a little salt, but are not absolutely essential to solving the puzzle.
That is not the case here. In this puzzle you cannot perform the second step without it. You'll need to figure out something very specific about the red dots to get this one.
[11] I don't think you need to understand the background to figure out that last step... the background is intended to be a clue for what the three pictures have in common, but you can figure that out without the background.
[15] Yeah ... you're right on the three things in common. I was just focused on getting the first step that I didn't do well on seeing that connection for a while.

You solved this puzzle in 1 minute and 25 seconds and were the 2nd Tanga member to solve it. You earned 109 points for solving this.
My best ever!
I was missing the second step. I should have known better, since it's a Murdoctor puzzle!

What is in the background under the (6)? Is it important? Can't see it if it is.

Found the word for the first step...still trying to figure out the second.
Lather, rinse, repeat doesn't work.

red dots don't mean earthquakes, fault lines or anything like that.

[12] Not mountains or volcanoes either....there are 3 major ones in Hawaii and only 2 red dots.
Finally got it. I hate it when an easy puzzle turns into a 45 minute Google session.
You can solve it without the background if you realize what the 3 pictures have in common....but you'll still probably need Google afterward.

Not easy, but still a good puzzle. That last photo is wholly unnatural.
[4] Thanks for the salt.
For the first photo, not only the animal is important!

This could have been a moderately-difficult hard instead of an easy. Just changing "6" to "6th" would have helped a lot.

Not at all easy!
Lots of Google searches for this one, which would be OK if it was posted as a "hard" puzzle.
