First to "post" ツ Very clever!
tricky!
Once again, jeb delivers!
OK, I'll say it: It's not 'potato'.
simple but elegant. good work!
I have the answer but it is not taking it
Just can't get past "ottffs"
edit---aha!! Nice puzzle!
[6] Then you maybe don't have the answer..?
Lovely.
Nice Puzzle
Now that took some thinking! Very clever indeed!
[8] or perhaps it really IS the answer (but to something else). :-)
I don't even have that!
Nice! I remember they gave this puzzle (the middle step) to one of the Apollo space crews. Shows my age, I guess.
You solved this puzzle in 10 minutes and 0 seconds and were the 55th Tanga member to solve it. You earned 56 points.
Duh. I almost had it about 9 1/2 minutes ago, then left to do other things when it dawned on me. Oh well, points is points.
Nice aha moment. Fun puzzle.
It took a moment to realize what the missing letters represented.
Oof. Not quite 'butter'....
Oh, my gosh. Puzzles like this always get me. Good job, jeb. Very nice.
Okay, I know what the foursome is? Can't figure out how to make them fast.
[19] Try a wash, rinse, *reverse* methodology.
[19] They don't need to be fast. If you know what they are and you don't know the answer, then you probably don't have the correct foursome.
Does air mail still exist?
[22] NO.
Edit: Well, not what we meant by "air mail". Most of the mail is moved via airplane now, but there is no such thing as "air mail rate" any longer.
Nor is there any "special delivery".
Well dang, this is just not my night!
Totally lost on this one
[23] Too bad. I remember when the Post Office could make money. Something to do with service...
Very clever!!! :-)
[23] sent you a tg. I'm really stuck tonight. Rarely have this much trouble.
Oddly, somebody at work posted a "basic" version of this brain teaser today.
What a great puzzle....but I got here really late tonight. (not salt)
Salt Pleaseeeeee. I have [7]
[31] When I was at the point [7] was at, pondering [16] was what got me there. I really don't think anyone can say more without giving it all away. So think about what those letters could represent.
I was with [7] and couldn't get off "ottffs" and I too had an "aha" moment. Great puzzle
1 min 36 sec. I could have been in the top 100 if I'd been here last night. :-)
I got step 2 quickly enough but then took a disappointingly long time to read the directions to get step 3. (Ahhh... "ollowing").
Can someone please TG me some salt? I have tried everything I can think of to no avail! I have tried using the numerical value of the missing letter, the letters "following" the missing letter, the "four" ellipses following the statement. I am running out of ideas!
[35] You need to concentrate on the missing letters themselves. They represent something else. Once you see what they are, I think you'll know what they are.
For example, if I had the letters MTWTFSS, you'd know what those are, right? Similar thing here.
Thank you [36] !!
I finally figured out what the missing numbers represent. Now what? What I thought would come next is not the answer.
Thank you [36]
[38] What does the solve method tell you to do? Do it in the same manner as those missing letters.
Well Done!
