Apparently you can't...
Fun one!
ummmmm, not so much
[1], [3],exactly!
ummmm.....no, you can't.....at least not yet. sigh.
Just like James Taylor, I've seen fire and I've seen rain.....
but not an answer to be found. (not salt...just a little desperation)
ok, at least 6 solves, which means that it is solvable, but I am not seeing a pattern here.
nothing here either! Any Salt?
OK, now you can!
Whew! tough one!
is there a gramma anna involved in this one?
Newspapers have roughly the same relationship to life as fortune-tellers to metaphysics.
this is a pretty straightforward Tanga puzzle method. I had trouble divining the clouds in the last row, but it was easy enough to figure out what I needed without that one.
It's nice that we can always count on a puzzle maker to come up with different solve method.
[13] I hope the Brady Bunch isn't involved in the solve method
(the tic tac toe grid)
still no clue - and no good hints yet?
[14] you and me both! Nor Hollywood Squares!
I thought the answer might be overpaid for being wrong all the time, but this is a OWW.
well, it's none of the nine letter gods of weather i've found on google so far.
[14] [16] No. No tic-tac-toe. Quite straightforward. A certain Sesame Street character would LOVE this puzzle.
so basic tanga and fun. good one gusssr!
gotta love me sum google
bleh
[19] thanks - 58th after 31 minutes - enough points to hit 20k!
I struggled trying to find words for these pictures, but that character you speak of doesn't care about words.
[5] thanks, but meh and no joy still....
not a clue of how the eighth picture fits...great puzzle/solve method, but 8th picture not very clear to the intent, in fact looks like one cloud and only one cloud.....
As a meteorologist, it seems like this would come easy for me...nothing yet.
and no joy
and no salt. that i can understand, if some's been sprinkled.
[26] How many crystals do you want?
Hrmm..
I have a word (a great word!) but it's not the answer. No clue where to turn next; is there a second step?
Mike says, it's as easy as 1, 2, 3.
[19][23] Ah, yas. I vont to thank you both very much.
Hah! I can't count. Gus, take a look at what you get if the second picture is one less...
Terrific puzzle!
You solved this puzzle in 7 minutes and 5 seconds and were the 74th Tanga member to solve it.
an hour, and still in the top 100. tough one tonight.
[12] i agree... the cloud pic doesn't look like it should.
for those still needing salt, there sure are a lot of things in some of those pics.
oops.. double posted. sorry. =)
[32] is what did the trick for me; thanks.
I guess I'll just have to take the author's word for it on the 8th picture. I'm not seeing what he's seeing.
You solved this puzzle in 1 hour, 7 minutes and 7 seconds and were the 82nd Tanga member to solve it. You earned 29 points for solving this. :)
I had about given up, but went back to [29] & [32] and AHA!
It's possible to solve it!
Couldn't get this faster....Because I Got High
Hmmm... gotta agree about clue #8. Turns out I had all of them right except that one. When the word I got didn't work, I started second guessing all sorts of things. Arrows, circles, spaces between circles, numbers? Love the idea - really great one! Just wish the clouds hadn't been so... cloudy. :)
Wow!!! Still top 100! [36] Is that why I can't count?
Wow - came way late, and still got a few extra points - kewl!
Can I tg someone who has the answer what I have so far, and see if I'm at least on the right track?
[40] Sure!
I actually didn't have any problem with #8. I just saw that it looked a lot like the cloud in #2, but duplicated. My problem was I thought there was something more to #1, and I tried to take a short-cut for counting #9 that left me off by one. I just think I had problems counting, in general. Still got 66th though... Good puzzle!

Oh yeah for that extra point!!!
Aww, just 1 outside of the top 100... :[ In my excitement at realizing what the answer was, I mistyped it like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 times... (Ah ah ah ah!)
confused (still) about the solve method
You solved this puzzle in 11 minutes and 57 seconds and were the 133rd Tanga member to solve it. You earned 10 points for solving this.
math teacher and i counted wrong 3 times- ugh!
Thanks for the salt. #8 does not appear to be the right picture.
Got it with the 3rd hint, but never would have figured this one out.....
