Thanks for the cookie! (Not salt)
Very interesting! I enjoyed this puzzle.
Veni tardus, vidi, vici tertius.
Edit: This is your first puzzle? Awesome!!
Nice puzzle
It certainly helped to have been in the military!
Awesome twist! I knew where to get started and thought that's where I was going, but no... I had to find the key before I could finish. Great first puzzle, hash_mcallister!
I am amazed that this puzzle not only made sense to you guys but you also solved it so quickly. I cannot figure out the structure to save my life.
recognize the words as a ham radio person, but after that....nada.
EDIT: Found the key and now I'm flying high...thanks for the salt...very shifty!
got the military and the key, but still no sense....hmmm
[8] You need to find the KEY to the puzzle.
November India Charlie Echo!!!
[9] Did you do what the key instructed you to do?
[13] perhaps yet another of shakespeare's plays would nudge you a little further? I suggest Julius Ceasar.
Great first puzzle, Hash!
Damn it, had it from a guess but was a letter shy...
lol! Thanks for the cookie! (Not salt).
[13] Don't include the letters from the key.
Nice salt [14]! I just got it from [10] but your salt should help anyone still trying to get this.
Fun solve! Nice graphics! Very enjoyable (especially impressive for a first puzzle)...!
WOW I just guessed & got it - I mean I found the 1st step but had no idea what it meant or what to do with it, so I started guessing. Then when I solved it I found out how smart hash_ really is!!! And a 1st puzzle too - AWESOME dude!!! Solver #46, a personal best for me. YAY!
[13] You need to edit your post - you may not realize it, but it is too salty

my first puzzle in the top 100, hoorah
[19] Hmmm... I solved the puzzle and I still don't get [14]'s salt... *shrug*
edit - understand now. Thanks, dduensing! It is very clever salt if you are familiar with such things.
good puzzle, thanks
Finally solved it with all the salt - though I did not know anything about the subject matter to start out with.
Great puzzle though it assumed familiarity with what I think is a pretty uncommon set of information. Enjoyed it thoroughly anyway.
[26] It's actually a lot more common than you think.
[27] I suppose. The problem could be me. Either way, every now and then someone picks subject matter which I probably am more familiar with than others so it is just par for the course. It was a fun puzzle and that is what really matters.
Plus the best puzzles are those where you actually learn something new.
Outstanding puzzle, especially for a first! Keep at it.
Over and out.
You solved this puzzle in 5 minutes and 7 seconds and were the 136th Tanga member to solve it.
Sure wished I was able to be here two and a half hours ago.
This was an excellent puzzle...thank you for sharing.
no clue - I have letters, but . . .
[32] Now you need to look for the key and use it to convert all those letters to something else.
You solved this puzzle in 7 minutes and 53 seconds and were the 191st Tanga member to solve it. You earned 10 points for solving this.
Mmmmm ... cookie! (no salt)
Former military helps, even if I was shifted from country to country.
good one
Kilo is for Kookie! Good enough for me
Geesh, I'm such a dope! I've got the letters, I see the key, but . . . nothing! This one has me completely bumfuzzled.
I'm hoping for a post and solve (but didn't happen this morning).
YES, post & solve!!!! It only took me 10 hours and 57 minutes! I feel vindicated now!
P.S. Thanks to [33] for trying to bump me along.
Thanks for the compliments!
Im glad you had as much fun solving as I did creating! There will be more to come. :)
: >>> I don't get it, I just dont get the key, got all this letters and no idea : (
Update---Aghhh so frustrating, I got it,
It took me forever to figure out what you all were talking about with the key thing.
I was looking but not seeing.
You actually meant a real life key.
From there it was easy :)
It only took me 19 hours 31 minutes and 17 seconds to get my cookie and it tastes oh so satisfying! Not like the cake which is a lie!
That was... Hotel Alpha Romeo Delta!! ;-)
Who would waste so much time on this?
