Not quite getting 15. Thought I had it but it doesn't fit with what I have for 3

#3 is causing me fits with #15!

Is it a body part? An emotion? An obscurity?

Is #15 the act or the person? Grrr!

same problem

[2] I'll trade you for #7...

Very cool puzzle! Reminded me of one of the puzzles in the game 7th Guest!

3 is the person, not the part
15 is actually two words

I think I have them all now, but it's not taking.

[2] If I am right, #15 is the act, and that one is more wise than the others.

Edit: OK, so 3 is just as wise as 15

Can someone take a TG. I refreshed and reenterd, but still not taking.

That's what I thought for #15, but I AM a semi-pro belly dancer, and don't recall any words right off that I was called that were "too wise" Chubby belly dancer was about it...

not taking mine...

not taking mine either :-( Am I spelling something wrong?

help on 7???

Not taking here either and I think I have them all.

[13] I beat you too this one

Also not taking mine.

[13] #7 beat and melody don't fit the theme

[13] If I'm right, Gershwin had #7.

Not taking mine either, so if someone is taking TGs to check answers I'd like to send one to them too.

I'm also not getting it, and I've checked the spelling. Either there's a puzzle error, or we're all missing the same thing.

Half of what [16] said is true.

AHA! My problem was with #12, as that can be several things.

36 completions so far.

I feel like I have everything, but it isn't taking so I am obviously wrong about something. Grrr...

[21] Pointed out my problem.

OK, so who IS #3? Should I know this person, well, personally? Ah-HA! The upraised arms threw me off. I usually see them in tents telling the future!

[21] Thanks, that's a bad clue...

yeah it is #12, one very obvious answer one very obvious answer after I bang my head. It is what she is not what she is doing

[27] That did it, thanks!

[21] Thanks!

Can someone confirm nothing's spelled wrong?

Yup, #12 was the problem.

Finally figured out what was wrong. 12 wasn't spy. Nice puzzle.

I've tried both answers for 12 and that's not it for me.

[5] I LOVED that puzzle!

aha on the theme!

I am absolutely lost on #2 and I think I have the rest of it.

can someone please take a TG from me to check my answers?

I had a glitch on #12 ... middle letter has multiple possibilities that seem to fit.

[37] TG me.

[39] Got an asist from another already. Thanks anyway!

[33] She's not sly either. And not a spy. But she is hiding from you.

let's work on a hypothetical... assume I have not already got the answer from someone just blatantly giving it... how am I to take the image for #4 and come up with the answer?

and #12 was just cruel.

I like the theme on this one, but I am at a loss on at least half of the answers...I'm not sure how to google some of these or even where one would start. 2 - 4 - 10 - 13 - 14 see? missing all of these...sigh but like I said, I DO like the theme lol

VERY nice. I enjoyed it a lot. Once you get the theme (nicely titled) it narrows down the choices. #12 was a little tricky, but once I realized what it was (compared to what I guessed) I felt a little silly. She's no secret agent!

Fun...tricky...hard but I finally stumbled on a site that gave me the last one I needed.

[42] That is a pretty recognizable theme and in the upper left it says (e.g) or for example. If you disagree with my statement of pretty recognizable then use some features specifically of the monstor in the scene. Finally if you have the other clues and not this one, try www.unscramble.net as I use this a bunch when I have trouble.

[43] Maybe I can help, but first, are you sure you have the theme, TG me

[46] pretty recognizable scene not theme, sorry I can't find the edit option today

[46] you mean the theme/scene of image #4 is pretty recognizable? then I'm dumb. All I recognized from that image was the (e.g.)... but an example of what? Roman Architecture? Body Building? Snakes on a Head?

And searching for things like "green monster snake hair red eyes" lands me at lots of sites with pictures of green monsters with snake hair and red eyes... but not the answer. But that is just my opinion. and maybe I am dumb.

No you are not dumb but on the right track. The snake hair part refers to one specific monster that is a part of greek....

[17], THANK YOU.

I still don't get the theme though.

Edit: Oh *WISE* I get it now lol. But isn't the grammar a bit off for that statement then?

[17], THANK YOU.

I still don't get the theme though.

Worst puzzle ever - not worth the time or aggravation.

I thought it was an excellent puzzle!
