20th on a guess
[1] Same with me - counted the letters and gave it a shot. 32nd
This really is a neat puzzle. Seems to kind of defeat the purpose of doing them if it's just a guess-fest.
I am not getting this one - first names, last names?
NM - Post and solve
[4] It doesn't specify to only use one or the other....full name
[4] How would you normally refer to them? Perhaps a fuller approach?
Nice threesome tonight soccer ref! I enjoyed them all.
[7] Thank you. I had fun making them.
ok, no idea how to get the others, i have 2 of them but can't get the others. and are 2 the same answer?
[9] No, all different people. Try googling the title.
[10] did that i knew the two i got without looking that up. and without knowing they are different the last two could be the same
[11] Each clue applies to one person. Yes, there is one who could apply to more than one clue, but use the clue that they are most famous for.
[11] TG me what you've got so far and I'll give you a nudge in the right direction.
Cool, I enjoyed this one. Only one that I didn't get from the clue, and it was enough to get the answer around that one.
(Hey, anyone remember when answers weren't posted until the day after, so you had to try to backsolve if you got partial answers?)
[14] My, my...ancient history?? LOL Yes, I remember.
the 88th Tanga member to solve it......makes 3 top 100s today
nm my wife who is wonderful and awesome and oh-so-smart got it from the first and the last letter that I had.
Had a list of words I figured would work, after getting the last letter wrong once I got it right the second time and it all fit in my head.
92nd on a guess...
Add me to the "guessers"... I had the first letter and got it from that. Thanks soccer_ref, good one :)
Nice one Ref! I got here late and still put a few points in my yankee doodle cap.
[21] Thanks, Rocketeer! Figure some folks are just getting back from the fireworks (at least on the East Coast) and doing the puzzles.
Got enough to guess the word, but I thought a couple of the clues were way too vague. Something like 20+ of them were attorneys, weren't they? How many were authors?
[23] Did you try googling the title? There are only 7 who are considered the main ones. Based on that, I figured matching them up to the clues wouldn't be that hard.
[24] Yes, I did google - I just skipped over the part that called out 7 main ones. My fault. :(
Thanks [24], never knew there were 7 'main' ones.
[26] And that really messed up the puzzle as originally planned. Because the one I was using to get a specific letter wasn't one of the seven. :( Had to rework the whole thing. *sigh*
they were pretty much all Attorneys, weren't they?
Got it after 2 answers, and they weren't the first and last.
lame
