First at 5:35. Lightning struck at about 5 minutes, and the rest was cake. (No, those aren't clues.)

Tada sent me this one to try out a couple of months ago. I still have no clue. The first one didn't even have a background.

You have to strain to see the background.

You were the 30th Tanga member to solve this puzzle.
Average solve time: 22 minutes and 16 seconds.

I am not posting this because of any ego issues. Rather, my solve time EQUALS the median. Cool.
Also: the author seems to have a fondness for antony.

Can't say I cared much for this one, kind of a crappy puzzle.

Are they getting desperate for puzzles?
And, I don't think truncate means what you think it means.

[16] Well, hopefully I just did it wrong and happened to get the right answer.
I had to remove letters from the front and back and truncation (especially in math) implies just from the end.
Cowbell => Cow
Given the ambiguities of these clues, I was trying to work in both directions, and _____MAN was throwing me off.
EDIT: As for my other comment, I'm not a fan of a puzzle that uses the word "poop".

I just did the puzzle but got no points. I think if it's going to stay up for two days, I should be able to get the points regardless of when I solve it! I was in the middle of solving the hypercross yesterday when the site exploded and so I didn't get any points for that either when I submitted my answers.

Just to let you know, I'm a linguistics major. I wasn't able to answer this, and the solution, although clever in the maker's mind, does not follow proper rules.
