Yay! I'm finally getting the hang of this!
You solved this puzzle in 2 minutes and 58 seconds and were the 45th Tanga member to solve it.
Was only able to get the 3rd, 4th, and 5th ones at first. Finally the 2nd one popped into my head and was able to guess correctly from there!
Clever. It took me a couple minutes to get on the right track. Nice puzzle!
Got stuck on the first one. Nice puzzle.
knew my metal head would pay off!!!!!
Nice puzzle :)
Yay!! 79th! My first top 100! Woot Woot!!!!
Nice puzzle Philana. Just got hung up on the first one.
Got stuck on 1st and last but managed eventually to get it without them. Nicely done!
[9] I was also 79th ... strange!
If these don't pop into your head (like mine) your sunk! Not fair!
Nice puzzle!
I got the individual words except for the last one, and know the theme, but just can't figure out what to do with it
no idea... i'm really starting to hate oww's lol
That rocks!
[13] You're never "sunk" if you know how to use the internet. For this puzzle, try http://onelook.com/ .
[13] I had the same problem, there were a couple I've never heard of but there are also a couple everyone should know, after that I had to guess at the theme and use google a bit to figure out the others.
I got the first level quickly. now what?
You solved this puzzle in 11 minutes and 50 seconds and were the 107th Tanga member to solve it. You earned 10 points for solving this.
GOT IT!!!!
having trouble with the first and last... any help???
[20] lather, rinse, repeat.
Awesome puzzle, very nicely thought out theme.
[22] The first is historical. The last has to do with a sport.
completely lost on the last one.....
[26] D-fence ::clap clap:: D-fence...
I know its sports related, but no word is coming to me..... :(
{22} Sounds like you could use a message from God and five for fighting...
[28] Would it help to find the band who sings "If Today Was Your Last Day?". Their name is the same as the key player in this defense.
[11] Yeah, the two end ones were the hardest. Just had to list all the possibilities I could think until the ahas came. Then I almost forgot what came after lathering and rinsing.
The last one is particularly tricky if you don't know (American) Football.
51 minutes and 34 seconds and were the 157th Tanga member to solve it! I want to thank those that came to my "defense". Never heard of that.....I'm not real big in sports.....but come-on how well known is this? Also had to think a minute about lather-rinse-repeat. :)
I had never heard of the last one, but using the background (even though I am not a fan of metal) I was able to figure out the word, which goes nicely with the answer.
Living in America's oldest seaport an old Clam Digger like me got kinda stuck. Then I lathered again and realized the error of my ways. But the last clue took all the salt I could get and then some. Considered "basic" but never heard of it. Loved the puzzle and theme except for last clue. So I have to put it back on myself before I criticize and I guess "bag" would be kinda not in good taste. So I think it was the best.
[31] I looked at possibilities and when I couldn't settle on any, I took what I had to a crossword solver, which gave me just a few matches, one of which I recognized right away as a candidate for lather, rinse, repeat. Either way, I guess we got the job done. :)
wow, didn't notice the marked spaces. Would have been SO much easier if I had noticed.
[36] ya it's probably hard to spot on a black and white monitor! (lol)
Great puzzle, Philana! Thanks!
29 seconds. too bad I went out to dinner with the hubby. Mmmm, Stinking Rose.... Hhhhhhhhhiiiii!!!!
\m/ \m/
I believe I have all the answers and the final answer makes sense. However, Tanga keeps telling me I'm wrong... Guess I'll have to wait and see..
[41] you might need to do one more step to make it fit with the puzzle
Nice!
[41] You need to do to the answer what was done to the clues. Otherwise known on Tanga as rinse and repeat.
