oh boy!
[1] oh boy is right!
edit: think I have the order/placement but can't make sense of it..had the order wrong, and not recognizing the answer word didn't help....
[1] LOL
Well, it isn't potato...
Seriously though, this was a very nice puzzle. Granted I really like logic puzzles, so this was kind of right up my alley. Thanks a ton for making it!
(Every time I see a TangaAl puzzle I'm just going to try "potato" as an answer immediately and hope that I'm correct!)
Edit: Yeah, just like [5], in the spirit I got 6th! Oh and was the 4th to comment...
Awesome puzzle! I like these a lot! And in the spirit of the puzzle, I got 8th and I'm the [5]th to comment.
MrPlow99 placed 11th and was the 6th commenter.
[5] Heh, see we had the same idea for our comments. There's probably going to be a lot of that going around tonight.
j15bell placed 9th and was the 7th Tanga member to comment.
Wow! Those fry my brain - great puzzle :)
I love these puzzles! I am pretty good at them!
gwk1967 placed 20th and was the 10th to comment.
That was very fun.
A puzzly puzzle! I like it.
Very nice and satisfying!
Just a thought (or should I say comment) - relieved that the puzzle was not made more grueling with points earned thrown in the equation to derive position (rather than position clues).
This gave me some trouble, got 61st.

You solved this puzzle in 24 minutes and 7 seconds and were the 62nd Tanga member to solve it. Haven't done logic puzzles in a while...
one of my most favorite things is "who's on first". just sayin.
My brains got a work-out but it was worth it. Thanks for a great puzzle!
hate these with a white-hot passion!
okay, finished the table... now what?
Whee fun!! love logic puzzles. 17 minutes and 26 seconds and were the 77th Tanga member to solve it. Much of that was setting up the spreadsheet ;)
Wow - really late and still got me some points. Good puzzle!
[19] Time to Tanga! (Which means to extract letters).
I was pleased with my 33rd place finish considering I started over 7 minutes late, had to get out of the bed of the truck and fetch a tiny pad of paper and a pen, then renavigate to the page because the phone misinterpreted the brush of my finger, and then work it out in the dark in said truck bed with 3 children impatiently waiting for the fireworks to begin.
I also should have been comment 5 or 6 but the phone wasn't really interested in posting the comment for me. :)
Very nicely done, Al. :)
[16] Naturally.
Got here really late but loved the puzzle. Thanks.
Took me 12 minutes and 14 seconds to solve this. Nice one, TangaAl!! More of these, please! Just wish I could have gotten on-line sooner.... started almost 3 hours after puzzles posted, and was the 106th solver on this one.
Sorry, I hate these kinds of puzzles. I may try in the morning when I'm fresh...but probably not. :)
Yeah me! I don't think I ever placed in the top 10 before.
BTW: Awesome puzzle. I like when people use formats that aren't frequently seen here but which are easy to understand.
OK i am officially at a loss here. I just cannot get any order that makes sense. Can someone TG me some salt?
PS. Got it. Thanks for all the TGs.
I solved it without solving the logic puzzle, just by knowledge of Tanga methodology
[29] Yeah, but what fun is that? Brute force trial and error vs. solving an awesome logic puzzle?! :)
edit: actually, there could be some interesting logic involved in figuring out what order would result in a reasonable answer... still too much ambiguity and trial and error for my taste. But I'll concede it could be interesting.
actually, wasn't as tough a logic puzzle as I thought when I first glanced at it last night.. )
A sweet puzzle instead of a "blah" one!!!! : )
I hate these until I get them, but I can't leave them alone...then I seemed to solve this puzzle somewhat backwards, so much for logic. Alas, once I get them, I love them!
[28] i can't come up with an order that makes sense either. i'm almost positive i have the table correct and it's my tanga-ing that's flawed, that i'm not extracting the right letters. but maybe i am just totally wrong to begin with. i hate to give up, but i am just too frustrated by now. if anyone wants to tg me, i would appreciate it.
EDIT: finally got it! TangaAl offered to look at what i had, so i put it in a table in word, got ready to send, double checked my answers, and then i suddenly figured out what to do! thanks TangaAl!
and even after all my frustration, i really did like this one!
