    Nice one!!

  2. Christopher_david_ryan_-_eyeGarlickc6201 on Dec 31, 2010 07:09 PM

    You solved this puzzle in 6 minutes and 53 seconds and were the 29th Tanga member to solve it.

    I got the answer without actually figuring out the last step, but it makes sense now that I've read the solution. Nice one! At first I was lead down the wrong track due to the last word being very close to another word that is a synonym.

    This was fun!

  4. FileCheeseburgerErich on Dec 31, 2010 07:09 PM

    Nice a-ha moment. Happy new year!

    Great puzzle!

    Clever, I liked it.

    kool .. straight foward puzzle

    Nice 'aha', fun puzzle sonjahi. I wish I had stayed with this one instead of switching to the HC before solving this!

  9. Ted_doggRaspberrydmlafrance on Dec 31, 2010 07:16 PM

    Nice puzzle, Sonjahi!!

    Happy New Year!!!

    I usually suck at these, but I actually got it tonight. Challenging but not too obscure. Good set of puzzles, thank you!

  11. Img_0189Egggst on Dec 31, 2010 07:17 PM

    Aggghh! So close, and just couldn't see it...

    Very nice set.

  12. FileGarlictwofalls on Dec 31, 2010 07:21 PM

    Another one for your D'oh! nut collection! Good one tonight. Thanks!

  13. BjDuckiedrlaura92 on Dec 31, 2010 07:23 PM

    I have the other puzzles done, but stuck here. Any salt?

  14. FileCarrotmmene on Dec 31, 2010 07:25 PM

    This is the only one I seem to be stuck on too, got the others easily enough.

  15. 07310099PancakesLakeLivin on Dec 31, 2010 07:27 PM

    This has such a nice 'aha'. Please don't go too heavy on the salt & give it away.

    A sprinkling: read the first sentence very carefully.

  16. Try_4Sailboatsnork on Dec 31, 2010 07:29 PM

    My a-ha moment took me through the first part but I admit that a leap of faith got me to the end of the puzzle. ("OK, I solved this one but I'm not sure how I did it.") Thank goodness for the printed solution!

  17. MarkerryanCarrotryanker on Dec 31, 2010 07:31 PM

    If I'm ding it right, does step 1 have a non-pattern-following element to it?

  18. FileGarlicgdhs22 on Dec 31, 2010 07:31 PM

    If you get a word that's not a word, there's a second step. You'll figure it out in the end.

  19. MarkerryanCarrotryanker on Dec 31, 2010 07:42 PM

    EDIT: Rot13'ed question to hide it a bit.

  20. FileBananabeckyfogey on Dec 31, 2010 07:44 PM

    Got the first step, but I don't know what to do now :(

    Edit: Post and Solve

  21. AnguseyeaCarrotbamar on Dec 31, 2010 07:36 PM

    Very elegantly done.

  22. 07310099PancakesLakeLivin on Dec 31, 2010 07:39 PM

    [19] Yep.

  23. BjDuckiedrlaura92 on Dec 31, 2010 07:45 PM

    Finally, the aha moment. I was starting to give up hope. Still finished 93rd. Under 100 on all three puzzles.

  24. Garage-grrls-chainsaw-sally-7Eggplantgertrudethemutilator on Dec 31, 2010 07:45 PM

    Can someone share if this is a common English word or a proper name?

  25. BjDuckiedrlaura92 on Dec 31, 2010 07:47 PM

    [24] common word.

  26. Untitled-1PumpkinAdamMcD on Dec 31, 2010 07:48 PM

    Wow ... I showed up 45 minutes late and still made the top 100.
    (Everyone must be partying new year's eve style)
    This was a very cute puzzle!

  27. MarkerryanCarrotryanker on Dec 31, 2010 08:20 PM

    Still groping about blindly for step 2...

    Is anagramming needed?

    Never mind... P&S. And now I feel stupid for not seeing it earlier. 103rd here. But 19th on the Crypto and 63rd on the Hyper. for an average of 61.7th. :-)

    Overall, a great set of puzzles sonjahi, even if (or maybe especially because) they make me feel dumb.

    Fun one, Sonjahi!

    104th.. so close, yet so far :) still, that close after over an hour... everyone must be partying it up tonight! happy new year all!

  29. Avatar_profileCarrotmuffinhead80 on Dec 31, 2010 08:43 PM

    Awesome OWW. Thank you, sonjahi. Happy New Year to all!

  30. FileCarrotmmene on Dec 31, 2010 08:53 PM

    Well duh, that was easy enough, don't know why it took me so long. Or actually the first step was easy. But looking at the letters from the first step along with the picture was enough for me to make a good wild guess for the answer.

  31. MarkerryanCarrotryanker on Dec 31, 2010 09:34 PM

    [2] & [30] how do you do that without having a good reason for coming up with a specific word???

  32. 8grg3zbpu691mpv38q2nRaspberryjebediehard on Dec 31, 2010 09:45 PM

    Really nice puzzle, sonjahi! Happy New Year!

  33. Avatar_profileApplelhaldane on Dec 31, 2010 11:42 PM

    I loved that game!

  34. OctopusPeppercomishcraig on Jan 01, 2011 08:12 AM

    I get the first step, but no clue what to do the get the final answer.

  35. Old_couplePotatodimples33 on Jan 01, 2011 09:25 AM

    Love the DOH moment - thanks for the great triple treat!

  36. Img_0538smallPeachCherokeeGypsy44 on Jan 01, 2011 10:18 AM

    not a clue! got the first letters then hit a brick wall!

  37. AssetsKiwizomad on Jan 01, 2011 12:23 PM

    I'm usually terrible at these! Thanks for making one that made sense to me!

  38. Avatar_profileWatermelondhubtroy on Jan 01, 2011 03:21 PM

    aw, I loved that game

  39. 100_1703Eggsonjahi on Jan 01, 2011 03:50 PM

    [34][36] You basically do the opposite of what you did in the first step.

  40. Fence_squarePlumcarolee999 on Jan 01, 2011 05:46 PM

    That was very clever!

  41. Dudley_do_rightWatermelondforchilli on Jan 01, 2011 06:23 PM

    [36 thanks Sonjahi for hitting me in the side of the head..now i see it DUH ..greatpuzzle

  42. Garage-grrls-chainsaw-sally-7Eggplantgertrudethemutilator on Jan 01, 2011 07:00 PM

    You solved this puzzle in 23 hours, 51 minutes and 0 seconds and were the 240th Tanga member to solve it.
    Ha, went to sleep last night, came back early tonight and had that forehead slapping moment.
