I should've gotten here at 10 on the dot. :-P

Any salt for those of us not so fortunate to be geniuses?
I've officially overused excel :)

I worry that I'm staring at the smoke-and-mirrors problem here, i.e. that there are just so many things that one *could* do, I don't know what one *should* do.

[7] Yes, but the numbers on the ticket range from 1 to 34. That's a clue for where to use them.

Didn't expect to still be Top Ten. Sweet.

Clever idea spam...

I have a six letter word which isn't the answer... is there yet another step to apply?

[11] My six letter word worked. Try again.
[8] was all I needed. I need to learn to count more often. :)

[8] did it for me, too.

I also went the way of Smoke and Mirrors. You should see my artwork...

The most rewarding puzzles are ones that leave little marks from all the head scratching. Thanks [8].

Hey! I'm a lemon!

Very nice. Once I got how to use the numbers, it all clicked.

Yep, [8] got it for me as well.

That was a good puzzle - lots of indexing but I was happy that it didn't send me on a wild goose chase.

Well, if anyone else gets the obscure word THAWERS, I know where you went wrong.

I typically dislike cryptos, so trying to ignore that -- this one was ok.

I just kept thinking ... there.

That was fun - apt answer too!

spamwise - you're just on a roll tonight, aren't you?!

wow, very nice puzzle.

Very fun. [8] is a big dose of salt.

Wow. Everyone is getting it due to [8], and I'm just not getting it. What are there 34 of? Not letters, not cards in a deck. What?

Spamwise

MARVELOUS!!!

I am a great fan of the "hlookup" function in excel...

are you on BGG?
I'll put some seasoning over there...

[17] A wild what chase? ;)

Man, I am *this close* to getting this one...

i liked that one, had to think but not too hard.

Nice puzzle! Once I got the aha, it all fell into place!

"Be sure to drink your Ovaltine..."

Well done puzzle tonight!

Well, I too got THAWERS as an answer [18], but found my error (I think). Still stumped on this one though... More salt????

send me a GM (pbleadfoot) with what you have so far and I'll send a nudge in your direction

nice!
