Wow. How am I supposed to answer the door to all these trick-or-treaters AND wade through all of this?
I got both jobs done. Good puzzle.
Woo-hoo! What a fun ride!!
Somewhere on the first line I realized I better start writing stuff down. Then I tried what I got. THEN I got it right (even spelled it right). Over 2 minutes and got 11th. Wow! :) What's really funny is that I just told someone that this type of solve method for a crypto is really more of a multi-word wonder and probably wouldn't fly. And maybe it wouldn't on a regular night but it seems so appropriate for Trick or Treat night!
This was very tedious, which allowed me to get 28th place.
Why did I wait so long to try that? Dang.
I kept making mistakes though...I even misread the doggie's tail as a subtraction sign!
got the answer but it's not taking. do I need the second step? if so, who is it, anyway?
[6] Try Google.
[6] Google is your friend.
What's up with the spelling? I have the answer but I can't get it to take.
Didn't realize there was an additional step :-( cost me top 100.
Lots of tricks tonight. Where are the treats?!
Nicely clued :)
Great cluing! Very nice!
At first I thought this puzzle sucked. Then I went back and wrote everything out and realized it was great clue-ing. Thanks!
This was NICE!
Fun change of pace, coupongirl.....I gave up and did the hyper and then came back
Gah, ive figured it out but I cant find out what to put in there.
[9] Are you trying to spell what you decoded? If so, you need to perform another step because that's not the answer. If you've performed the second step, see [7] or [8].
Not a true Cryptopix
[7] [8] [10] tried google, but getting lots of random answers regardless of whether I look at the movie, the legend, or the game. Frustrating.
nvm: finally found it--should have remembered that from school (about a million years ago).
[18] Well, it all started with a book. And the answer is the main character of that book. I'll send you a TG with the name of the actor that played him in the movie (really big name for anyone that sees this later and wish they had my TG). I tried Google, just to see, and it is actually a little hard to dig up if you aren't already familiar with the answer.
[17] True. But days like Halloween and April Fool's Day, things can get a little loose around here. ;)
thanks [6] for bumping my thinking!
[20] you're welcome. Glad I could help someone else. It took me long enough!
[17] next up: OWWs with two word answers....
The "F minus, greater than K" made no sense to me. Finally realized that's supposed to look like an arrow. Would have preferred an actual arrow, or even an =.
Tried short cuts, didn't work, had to write everything out and still needed Google..
Nice one.. looking forward to the next.
[23] good point, I'll keep that in mind.
How is this still a cryptopix?
this is NOT a cryptopix....it is a TWO WORD WONDER puzzle
This isn't a Cryptopix -- it's a TWW. Bah. However, I _do_ agree that it's very nicely clued for Halloween.
Edit: I see that in the time it took me to solve and comment, others prepeated my comment.
[28] And here I thought you were saying "Bah!" at [27], not the puzzle! lol
This can't really be a cryptopix can it? This is not how they are typically clued.
[30] No, it's not a cryptopix.
It is a cryptopix to get the 'Question'.... (and the cluing fun is a Treat!).... with a second step for the 'Answer', thus the Trick. Yes, unusal, but fun IMHO.
Not your regular cryptopix. Seems appropriate, though, for a "trick". Wonder if the OWW will be a "treat". ;)
You are a freaking genius!! You solved this puzzle.
You solved this puzzle in 3 minutes and 45 seconds and were the 205th Tanga member to solve it. You earned 10 points for solving this.
OUCH!!! NICE!
[28] "prepeat" I love it!
And I don't know... it says Cryptopix at the top of the page... so this must be a Cryptopix, right?
I see "Cryptopix" at the top .. no reason it cant have a second step .. but it through me off at first too, no biggie.for me.. it was fun !
[32] thats the 'spirit' !! lol
You solved this puzzle in 6 minutes and 4 seconds and were the 269th Tanga member to solve it.

I liked it. Yes, this WAS a Cryptopix. We just had to take another step to get to the solution. It was a fun trail to follow.
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet, this is my second solved puzzle and I love it!
Wow, I really got stuck on this, believing it to be a OWW. No matter how hard I tried, my answer word would NOT take. NOT a OWW, NOT a OWW.... :P
iffy, because he wasn't a true [last word] more of a target I mean all the other [last word] are dead ; he's not
I did like the movie cause he[answer] was a good deal handsomer than I envisioned from the reading lol
[43] Definitely cuter than the illustrations in the book I read in school. :)
[43][44], I agree, watching him was a real 'treat'! ;)
I know I have the correct answer and it will not take it.
[46] TG sent.
Um. It was my understanding that there would be no math.
