WOW!
Cool, wish I had been here on time! 10 second solve :)
One of those weeks where I cannot break the top 100...#111 tonight.
[2] Even on time you might have had problems. I solved it before it loaded (and I was here on the dot with no loading problems!), and still came in 14th.
[4] Me too!
AH, very nice, and fun. Thanks!
Very nice!!!
stuck on the first clue of the 2nd line
SALT anyone?
I liked the cluing, simple and to the point. It was one of those where I just said it out loud as I was getting each piece, and by the time I was done saying it I realized I had it! Thanks for making it.
First time I tried solving when this was released. Man you all are fast. Under one minute and still only 114th. but i went to the Hypocross next and broke 100. First one Woohoo. Thanks all.
[8] If you know what the picture is, what word would be on top of it?
It is the "letter math"
part of that where I am confused.
[12] the - > should be an arrow, not minus-greater than. Is that what confused you? Otherwise it is standard tanga symbology
[12] in the first row, say the direction of the arrow and then say the letters out loud. You'll get it.
A nickel for your underwear....
some folks could take you up on this offer... and still need to give you change ...
[13] Actually, the -> is often a =
Thanks Sonjahi! Keep em coming, please!
[17] Often, but not always. I have always used the -> because there's a few people who seem to get confused as to which direction to apply the substitution when an = is used. To me, the -> clears up that confusion. I'm not sure whether [12] was uncertain it was an arrow, uncertain what the arrow meant, or uncertain what they got after doing the letter substitution. Since they are a fairly regular solver, I would assume they have successfully solved cryptos of mine in the past, so I tend to assume they were just uncertain on what they were left with.
Hot dog! You solved this puzzle in 49 seconds and were the 488th Tanga member to solve it. You earned 10 points for solving this.
wow, decent. didn't see that coming!
Really liked the cluing for this one. Nice puzzle!
You solved this puzzle in 2 seconds and were the 540th Tanga member to solve it.
You solved this puzzle in 7 seconds
Make it a nickel ;)
[17] [19] There is so much general confusion about A=B that people have used it to mean both "replace A with B" and "replace B with A" and the mods have allowed BOTH types of uses! There seems to be far less confusion with using "A–>B" (or, preferably, "A→B").
[25] I've heard that before and I know that's Arnott's concern, but I can't honestly think of a puzzle where A=B has been used to mean "replace B with A". But, yes, that is why I use ->, although I'll probably start using actual arrows, just to make it look nicer.
Not sure about [12] but I thought it was fun. Thanks, sonjahi.
Honestly, I got the crypto by the first line, just saying it out loud. I finished the saying out loud, and typed it in without checking to see if the rest of the crypto matched the saying..Trying to be fast and see what number I came in at.
Only after I had solved it successfully did I look at the crypto in a whole and appreciate it.
I wondered what kind of pentagram symbol started the second line that would have an 'n' in it. I am fine with the > symbol and I agree [26] that I've never seen reverse substitution with =.
Then I sounded it out as suggested above and fixed the wrong path I was on.
Nice puzzle.
