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.

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?
Posted on Tue Feb 05, 2008 07:33 PM |
NM. Got it. Never heard of the word before. Thought it was a mistake on my part! LOL!
Posted on Tue Feb 05, 2008 07:45 PM |
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.

[13]For a business, it could also be 9 D I A Z C.
Posted on Tue Feb 05, 2008 07:37 PM |
[18] That did it. I couldn't stop thinking about "zucchini casserole"
Posted on Tue Feb 05, 2008 07:38 PM |
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!
Posted on Tue Feb 05, 2008 07:46 PM |
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.

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 =^)
Posted on Tue Feb 05, 2008 09:02 PM |
[33] For 6, check out emblems on national flags. For 8, you might want to look for salt in the ocean...

[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.
Posted on Wed Feb 06, 2008 09:11 AM |
[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.
