Yes, the clues mean what they say: you'll have to think outside your usual tanga methods.

I'm glad someone's laughing. Between this, Dancing With The Stars, and the stock market, what a disaster! :)

Nothing there but that lonely landscape. And yet, it seems fitting.

Sure you are, but you have to get beyond seeing only snow.

Simply put....all that's there is the frozen surface beneath the snow.

I live in the desert. Is this a word I'm supposed to know?
Edit: Thanks for the help!

[29] No, I googled "seems fitting" and the first item is a YouTube clip named that. ;)
Oh, and this is really just an icky puzzle. Saying "adjective" is very misleading, since you just don't use that word as an adjective (unless you're in Monty Python). It's more a pun than a puzzle. :(

scoutmom and soccer_ref have some sprinkled some, so here's my grain of salt: this puzzle was almost a crytopix because the answer is exactly what you see in the picture. The words and file name are only there to help you toward the goal.
If it makes you feel better, today's HOWW has me stumped.

If you take the directions literally, you come across a listing at the top of the search list that would be a perfect answer for this puzzle. Unfortunately, it's not the one the author chose. I do like this sort of puzzle though. DON'T OVER THINK IT!

I've been overthinking it, underthinking it, leftthinking it, rightthinking it, and now my brain feels like a pretzel. Apparently, an unsalted one.

After some deliberation, I've decided that [32] is good salt.

Finally clicked.
IMO, while it's creative, this is a guessing game, not a puzzle.
Good graphics, though.

[39] To get the file name right click & save the picture. I hate when people put clues there, as it's really not just the visual then. But at least they let you know it this time.

You solved this puzzle in 2 minutes and 21 seconds and were the 73rd Tanga member to solve it. You earned 38 points for solving this.
The Nike reference did it for me [16] [17]

[44] I only put salt in the file name. You should be able to solve the puzzle without it, but it may tell you you are going in the right direction.
For those looking for salt, I like [8]. [20] and [32], taken together, almost give it away.

[13] Sorry, 'permafrost' is not correct. Please try again.
[52] If you think this puzzle is "almost given away" by those comments, you need a reality check. Luckily, I don't lose sleep over unreasonable puzzles.

[54] Ain't that the truth! But making a fuss is the American way, or at least, the Tanga way!

hehe - my AHA moment came after about 3 hours sleep. I did not rush to the PC to plug in the answer - but had a quiet, smug moment as I drifted back to sleep knowing yet another Tanga victory was awaiting me...

After a lot of salt, I finally got it, but...wow, I *really* misinterpreted the last line. I took the initial "no" to mean "Absolutely no salt" was INcorrect. I spent hours trying to work in all *sorts* of adjectives related to salt and salt water: salt and salty and saline and brackish and marine and...well, none of them were necessary. That last ambiguity absolutely killed me.

Posted on Tue Sep 30, 2008 01:48 PM |
[55] Now I get it! You've saved me again, jewelia.
[59] I agree that the last line seems to be a monster of a red herring.
