errrr......

nt8a5...h?

[3] gt5, nt8... tangagram comin' your way

I suspect the rankings of Fun (5) and Difficulty (2) are currently reversed.

[5] i think you're right :)

I only had a few of them, but that was enough.

[7] I have seven solid (maybe) answers and can't turn it into anything.

salt? please?

Only 4 here...ugh!

You don't actually need to solve any of them to get the answer, but getting a few will probably lead you to the answer.

BTW, I only got 2, 50, and 206. If anyone can tell me any of the others, I'm curious as to what they are.

Heh. Nice recursion on this one.

Edit: whoops, my wry observation was a bit too helpful

How's this: plugging partials of the final answer into a crossword solver isn't going to help; you have to go elsewhere.

Any salt on the last one?

NM. Got it. Never heard of the word before. Thought it was a mistake on my part! LOL!

I might have to take back my earlier statement, this is pretty fun.

You solved this puzzle in 38 minutes and 8 seconds and were the 69th Tanga member to solve it. You earned 42 points for solving this.

[12] Google worked fine for me not knowing what they were at first.

got all of them and then realized that I didn't need to do all the work

[13]For a business, it could also be 9 D I A Z C.

[18] That did it. I couldn't stop thinking about "zucchini casserole"

thanks [18], salty indeed. Here I was decoding "Days in the life of..." and looking for a reverse solve. Fun. 8TOAT indeed!

Nice puzzle ... I love these!

I looked up the answer...and found more of these!

Anybody else remember when the original list of these was published in Games Magazine?

I honestly don't have a clue as to how to begin to solve this. :(

Huh, well, you learn something new every day. Interesting, though certainly perplexing at first.

i think i have a copy around somewhere.

Ok, I'm through the first recursion. Obviously there is another...

woot.. squeaked in for some bonus points. this was fun.

[16] helped me the most here. thanks.

I understand the concept, but really cant seem to get it...will try again tomorrow.

edit - of course as soon as I give up I figure it out. not too bad 101 st

Has anyone ever read about Ivan Denisovich?

(18) was the salt for me. thanks!

excellent puzzle

Solving the puzzle doesn't keep me from complete frustration over not being able to figure out 6 or 8.

Well, that was easy once you got the hang of it =^)

[33] For 6, check out emblems on national flags. For 8, you might want to look for salt in the ocean...

[30] I read that a long time back.

Great fun. Must back solve!

This was a good puzzle. Not only was it fun (though frustrating at first) but I learned a new word. Yay!!

[30] Was exactly the salt I needed!

Wow I kept solving it for several minutes after I had solved it, or was told I had solved it. I think I need a faster internet connection.

On the last one I was stuck thinking about a zombie corral.

[23] I remember!

I don't even know what the answer is....
I got all the clues but the last ( and 12, but I got enough of 12 ;-) and I ran through all the various possibilities till I solved it.

Always easier in the morning.

I've never heard of this style of puzzle! I liked it! It was kind of refreshing to see something new! Thanks!

That was easy... which the numbers on the right were different than the answer.

ummm, so whats the answer?
