stuck on 11 here.
6 seemed obvious to me; I'm not sure how to help without just giving away the whole thing.

Any hint on 6?

It's obviously not the biblical phrase..... so what is it?
AHA! It's not about the person!!!

Got 6... had to go elsewhere and then it just dawned on me... I wasn't paying attention to all the details in the picture.
Still stuck on 11.

for #6: what are the two main objects (the person, and his focus)?
I'm still missing 9 & 11.

on number 9, don't bother counting... the point is there are a lot of them

any solvers out there have a hint on 11?

9 and 11 seem to be tough. I'm glad its not just me

For #6, the person's profession is important.

[14] Thanks. That was it. I was stuck on what they were doing.

[15] 11 was a song by the BeeGees, not sure that will help.

Got it. There are no waves or ripples in #11.

I'm stuck on #10, but I have a feeling it's because I've never heard of it.
Edit: Nevermind, vaguely remember hearing it at some point.

6 and 8 have me stuck still

[32] #6 he has a job to do but he shouldn't do it without looking past the surface.
racheal0101
Posted on Fri Aug 22, 2008 07:48 PM |
#8 it might not be his for long

Posted on Fri Aug 22, 2008 07:49 PM |
yes...duh........thanks [33]...now on to 8 (which no one seems to have had trouble with)
jgf
Posted on Fri Aug 22, 2008 07:56 PM |
[35] #8: Hmmm... hard to salt without giving it away. I think it would be easier to read if the picture were flipped so the jester is on the left and the cash is on the right and slip a & between them. That get you any closer?
racheal0101
Posted on Fri Aug 22, 2008 07:53 PM |
[35] What he is and what is his are important then look at [34]

[36] good idea. I hadn't thought of that

Wow...I'm totally stuck on 11. Any more help?
jgf

[41] Did you see [22], [27], and [30]? You get 2 words from the picture, and the answer is 2 words.
comishcraig
Posted on Fri Aug 22, 2008 09:47 PM |
[42] I just don't know what what the words are supposed to be I guess.

#9 #11 no clue, no hope ...
===
nm. got it via P 'n S
"the 89th Tanga member to solve it. You earned 32 points "
Wow, this was tough on some although all are common.
#11 the 'phrase word' is plural, not the 'clued word' needed.
there's two ways to say that one.
#9 those hands aren't 'clapping' but they are busy.
and there's a lot of them.

Wow... great idea, with clues that were excellent visually as well as functionally. I'm still stuck on #2, but I love the puzzle anyway.
EDIT: Got it, thanks to my sweetie... I can't believe I didn't get that one myself.
