No clue, but the question mark is in the wrong place ;)

I thought "Somersault" was a reasonable answer but not to be...

[4] That was my first guess as well

Hey mine too...otherwise, this is waaaay too vague...

[puzzle] Yes. Yes, I did say that.

Saltire isn't it either...

Perhaps you shouldn't add the ear into the answer.
soccer_ref
Posted on Sun Feb 07, 2010 07:13 PM |
My first thought was "saltier" (salt ear). Then I took the ear out of the equation and just listened.

kind of a reverse tanga thingy.
good one nocca!

running out of dictionary entries to check.....sigh
words like "somatical" aren't taking.
scoutmom
Posted on Sun Feb 07, 2010 07:20 PM |
[17] No dictionary necessary, that wouldn't add up at all.
Susie
Posted on Sun Feb 07, 2010 07:20 PM |
Is too much salt bad for your hearing? "Aid" is not it...

[19] No, they didn't teach us anything like that in Chemistry class.

[16] I would not have tried that -- thanks!
Susie
Posted on Sun Feb 07, 2010 07:34 PM |
Thanks for the help, scoutmom & ref...but this one isn't adding up for me. All I can think of is summoning seals....don't ask...

[2] No it isn't
soccer_ref
Posted on Sun Feb 07, 2010 08:06 PM |
[27] I think [2] means it should be INSIDE the quotation marks.
jpsharp
Posted on Sun Feb 07, 2010 08:19 PM |
[28] You're right. I didn't realize at first that what's in the quotes is a question. To solve the puzzle, you must NOT treat it as a question!

Sorry. I guess I just needed it spelled out for me.

Man, I had known what to do for a while, I was just really bad at it. :)
nocca
Posted on Sun Feb 07, 2010 08:39 PM |
The answer to the question is "No".
That is not what I said.
However, that is what you heard.

WOW! 2 1/2 hours in, and I made 79th. That was sum puzzle nocca.
LakeLivin
Posted on Sun Feb 07, 2010 09:42 PM |
Arrived late & still made top 100.
Disappointed that none of the following worked:
fish
clap
bark
as answers to how one would 'summon a seal'. :-)
tboof
Posted on Sun Feb 07, 2010 09:43 PM |
Wow. I made NUMBER 82! Good one nocca!

[37] Very clever. I like that.

Posted on Sun Feb 07, 2010 10:04 PM |
I have worked on this for 2 hours now... I have many different phrases worked out. trying to 'tanga' them (whatever that means, I'm still new to this) or did I 'tanga' already to get them in the first place? I am so stuck! help?
mcgeorge
Posted on Sun Feb 07, 2010 10:21 PM |
[37] I got that one too
Chrismas007
Posted on Sun Feb 07, 2010 11:44 PM |
Still missing this one... anyone got a good link on what applying "tanga" to a problem is defined as?

i have no idea... everything i thought of i noticed are in the comments as wrong answers

I think it's time to give up on this one. I've tried every wrong thing I have later read in the comments as well as so many occult words I have probably disturbed all kinds of internet demons. I guess I'm too new to Tanga to understand this.

Lost... I guess "whodat" isn't one word? My latest guess...

I was almost certain it was epsom.

You solved this puzzle in 8 minutes and 17 seconds and were the 108th Tanga member to solve it.
Wow! Over twelve hours after it was posted and I still got 108th? Sumbody must really like me!

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP ME!

[42], [44], [51]
My understanding is that 'to Tanga' is to use the code where numbers are assigned to letters (a=1, b=2, c=3,...), or vice versa, in order to solve the puzzle.
phosrik
Posted on Mon Feb 08, 2010 09:16 AM |
tried googling the phonetic phrase and got a bunch of witchcraft articles. And no the answers are not witchcraft, demonic, or satan.
LakeLivin
Posted on Mon Feb 08, 2010 09:25 AM |
[53] There's just one homophone in the clue you need to key on. Keep the Tanga thing in mind while trying to identify which word it is.

"Summon a seal"? Close? No?
Chrismas007
Posted on Mon Feb 08, 2010 10:14 AM |
10 hours, 36 minutes and 0 seconds and were the 120th Tanga
Tough one...

Man, this one is driving me nuts, been kicking it around all morning and coming up with nothing. Would've given up hours ago if the solution was posted. Aaargh!
EDIT: Finally got it, thanks to a TG from jebediehard. Didn't stand a chance on my own as I was unfamiliar with the whole 'tanga' code thing. Wish I hadn't wasted so much time on this, much prefer puzzles that don't require an obscure trick to solve.

Thanks [54]! That did it for me.
phosrik

Only got it with help from the author. Has nothing to do with summoning a seal. It's far more basic than you'd think. In fact, your 1st inclination will be to keep going after the first step but in reallity there is only one step needed.

[2] No it isn't.

Posted on Mon Feb 08, 2010 02:25 PM |
[59] Seriously. I've had the answer since last night, but I thought there were more steps, so I didn't try putting it in until just now.
newsy
Posted on Mon Feb 08, 2010 04:22 PM |
So the answer is numeric?

After I summoned a seal (Ninpo Kuchiyose) I added up my options, took stock of the total, spelt out my solution and answered directly.

Thanks to all the "salt", I finally solved this puzzle a day late. But I have to say that it left a sour taste in this horse's mouth. Naaaaaayyyyy!!!!

[63] Yes, and it's solved via the technique of this website's name (although info appears to be scarce, I had no luck finding info about it on Google).
