One Word Wonder

I think this is the weirdest puzzle I've ever seen on Tanga.

[1] Yes, except for butter and popcorn

these puzzles are not loading tonight. anyone else having the same problem?

A little scattered, themewise, but the first segment was very interesting. Nice to see something a little different.

double post

triple post. grrrrrrrr..........

[5], nope.

[6], nope.

[3] Actually, tonight they loaded faster than normal for me.

Wow... NEVER heard of this! I think I must be living in a cave...

[4] I agree that the originality (of the first two parts) is nice to see!

must be my connection. :(
can see the comments and the top of the puzzle.

Nice one!

too weird to try now

geez....finally got it!

Never heard it either.

wow sammy! that second clue is a little tricky you trickster!

I'm getting it all but the last clue, which is causing me problems.

Edit: Finally got it. I think I'd tried just about every word I could find related to the topic but the right one.

I had no idea what the first section was about... got it from the rest.

wow, love the math aspect, clear & adds a good challenge!

Satisfyingly tricky.

My only complaint is that the bar in the second clue looks like it should be interpreted as "over".

Wow, I thought I had it, but that answer doesn't work. Now I'm completely lost.

edit: Nevermind I got it. I'm so out of practice that I thought the last clue was simply "number" which led me to something completely different.

Is this puzzle missing an equation?

What are "standard 'Tanga' numbers"?
