Yeah! My first top 100!!
Really couldn't figure out the spelling also......
I got all the letters, I think, but having trouble with next step. any salt?
[2] Yeah, me too.

I didn't know "cap", but got it from the rest of them.

I coul dnot figure out the screw or the jacket.... but got it from the other letters.
Nice puzzle Philana!
83rd . . . over-thought it a bit.
I was looking for a short guy in a funny hat, not a murderous one trying to avoid his fate!
Uggh! I tried the almost-answer (without the 2nd step) over 10 minutes ago. Squeezed in at 99th. :)
Nice! Made it at 94th. Thanks for the lesson on eponyms! I really liked the answer, as I learned something new!
Great job, Philana!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh, *just* missed top 100. :-(
Whoo Hoo...I made the top 100!
You are a freaking genius!! You solved this puzzle.

Got everything but the cap. Couldn't give us a picture for the cap?
[13] 8 words, 8 pictures, it's there.
Good puzzle Philana!
There's some ambiguity here that really threw me off.
The person in the upper right has nothing to do with the cap ... his pic goes with jacket while the blue thing goes with cap and the color is not important.
I'm clearly missing something. I've got eight letters (one I think might be wrong) but I'm getting nothing that seems like a word...
P & S....had it pretty much from the beginning, but when it didn't take what I had, I went off on a tangent.
I forgot that vowels are sometimes silent...
Oops, kind of gave away the answer there. I was on the right track, just needed another step. I've never heard of the jacket. Finally got the screw by a successful Google search. Had the wrong complex and code until I figured out the pictures. Overall, kind of a tough puzzle.

how does the second step go?
VERY difficult!
Sometimes that pointy cap has the word written on it.
Not a bellhop's jacket. ....once you get the other letters, just go with what makes sense
Then don't forget the theme of the puzzle....
Got the letters. Now stumped.

My first one!
When i was looking at that guy i was thinking.... he looks awful familiar (love that movie)
I got all the clues, then did what I thought was the second step but my answer isn,t correct. So I,m stumped.
edit:
Nm. P&s. But I've got a real problem with the answer. The answer was not in fact the eponym which is what I couldn,t get to take. Finally I decided to try something else and it worked. So don,t waste the time that I did. The answer is not the eponym.
Great educational puzzle.
Took some thinking, but worth the effort. Great puzzle
I'm too young (41) to know the jacket dude. Saw the movie when I was like 12. I'm dog-tired and going to bed now.
i don't understand why my answer is not taking i am almost positive i have the right answers = can some one check them and let me know which one i have screwed up.
thanks
Final answer should have definitely been the eponym. The slight difference would have ensured the extra step. Final answer is a weak link after an overall fun puzzle.
i was missing the last step - duh. You solved this puzzle in 2 hours, 32 minutes and 18 seconds and were the 334th Tanga member to solve it. You earned 10 points for solving this.
The 331st Tanga member to solve it! :) Thanks to Philana for helping me find what I had wrong and then I was able to solve it. This puzzle gave me a "complex"!
I expected the "1st letter" clue and the answer to be reversed. This was a tricky one! Thanks!
I suck! I even shook the tree for answers and I can't get it.
