wow...lost!
Anyone?
Salt?
only finished step one.... still searching
NM....got it....didn't go far enough
I've got the ?, but I can't figure what to do with it.
[1] [2] After you get each clue answer, re-read them as 2 words each.
[3] What is she trying to do??
[3], [5], agree, got the 1st step, but not what to do next....don't get the "2 words each" salt....
Don't solve for the ? along with the other clues. Do that when you answer the bottom question.
[4] I got sidetracked on what I thought fit the
obvious pattern, but it was a red herring.
First top 100!
OK, it's not her "contractor".....
Nice. I was in Arlington about a month ago, it was a cool day, but what a place! Condolences on your loss, and your great way to turn it around!
Finally got it. Very clever trick with the misleading "obvious" answer for the ?
Very clever puzzle :)
You are a wonderful person. Thank you for sharing that with us.
Wow, off night none of the salt is helping. :(
I can't believe I can't get it....wow...

Thanks soccer_ref, although I wasn't actually asking for help -- I was responding to your question... :)
TG please!
[38] oh. oops
I have the answers to the 4 questions, but I still don't get it...
TUVM 35 nice to meet u all
47 minutes in and STILL top 100!
thank you soccer_ref!
You still up, SoccerRef? If so, a little salt would be appreciated.
Or from anyone else for that matter...
Thanks, Jebe!
Man, if anyone is still around, please tg me another hint - got the top part easily, i *thought*, but then [13] makes me think i fell for a trap and i'm not seeing anything else to hang my hat on....
nm, got it - the clues make sense in hindsight, i guess... I just got it through what seemed like desperate guessing and surprised myself
okay, I am guessing the pictures play big a part. I have the four words after the pictures, but seem to be stumped now.
what the ?? ab c de????
[48] It's just *so* tempting to put a "c" in there, isn't it? But it's a dead end. That doesn't spell anything.
nevermind???
answer is a bit sexust
Its almost heresy that the answer doesn't line up with the first four clues...
use google, then it all makes sense, just go in order
For any stuck latecomers, the key is realizing that you are not trying to complete the beginning of the alphabet, but a word.
Nice puzzle! I understand it, but I had to go thru all the letters till I found it. :)
here is the funny part. answered this with help from another tanganite. then son sees this one. he gave me the answer right away. he remembered the group of animated disney movies from the late 90's
did the red herring answer for the ? and then remembered a song from that movie about the protagonist.
pffttt!
[52] , you are wrong. That is what the ? mark is for. That's the place.
Good puzzle....and, so nice to see a glimpse of who other tanganites are. Thanks.
