[1] I did.
Took me a second. I should have gone with the simpler solution.
The answer was the simplest explanation of the clues.
47th cause I couldn't spell.
Once I cut through the options, it was the simplest answer!
A little bit different...
heh, if you do a search for Terry the turtle, be sure to include the author, You get a totally different answer if you don't.

3...2...1... Contact!
[7] Yeah, I noticed that too. So had to modify my google search and then took 3 shots and google for the spelling but still made 19th!
Nice puzzle, yfking. Good to see your puzzles again!
Wow [8]! Says I was 24th, too, but I used less time... Weird

had to google the phonetic result but that found it
Phew...just skimmed in under 100.
I found the pronunciation quite tricky on this one.
[10]I should have googled to begin with - I thought he was backwards.
It's always comforting to know that I'm surrounded by other dorks.. no salt, just a statement :)
I picked the wrong turtle >.<

Finally got there, but never heard of it.
[14] So did I, but when saying it out loud, the correct answer popped out, so I tried it- only getting the full reasoning while it was checking my answer.
Cool puzzle!
salt? got the words, but it doesn't make sense.
and yes i have the correct turtle :-P
new here, what is salt? I saw it on some other comments. Is it a reference to someone? or something?

Another new phrase and a spelling lesson to boot!
No Idea. Have the words but it doesn't make any sense.
LOVED this puzzle! Great job!
[21] Salt is asking for a clue to the answer without giving it away. Sometimes it's a great help and other times not. Once you get the answer and go back over the comments you'll see some very clever posts containing 'salt'.
Thank you!
[20], [23] and others. This wasn't a term I was familiar with. So if you have something that you think fits the puzzle, be sure to google it and the correct answer/ spelling might show up. It worked for me.
I couldn't sound it out either (20), but I typed what I heard into google and got it that way. The begginning letter is not what you think.
Not having any luck with the second image and on too much medicine for a painful kidney stone to figure it out. Rats.
I got Google-tripped. Wasn't familiar with this - and found at least 4 erroneous spellings. (KISS...)
it's not the swearing turtle. lol
If you think you know the title of the book just from the picture, then you might want to Google it... I got stuck on this puzzle for quite a while by thinking it had something to do with his shell not looking right.
I was just listening to an episode of This American Life and this was the title of the segment!
why is it that whenever i submit a puzzle, they tell me to change some of the references so americans can understand them, but they don't do it the other way round. makes Tanga SO much harder, especially since the pics are always too small to google anything from them. If I don't know it straight away i'm never going to know it without a little help.
just me complaining. Otherwise fun puzzle :D
I like the idea of foul mouthed turtle better.
You've got to be kidding...
Ackk!! Spelling!!!!
this principle applies to the the world of Tanga
Great puzzle.
