Quiet in here.
At least it was until everyone solved it while I was typing!

I should've gotten here at 10 on the dot. :-P

Any salt for those of us not so fortunate to be geniuses?
I've officially overused excel :)

[7] Yes, but the numbers on the ticket range from 1 to 34. That's a clue for where to use them.

I have a six letter word which isn't the answer... is there yet another step to apply?

[11] My six letter word worked. Try again.
[8] was all I needed. I need to learn to count more often. :)

[8] did it for me, too.

I also went the way of Smoke and Mirrors. You should see my artwork...
The most rewarding puzzles are ones that leave little marks from all the head scratching. Thanks [8].
Hey! I'm a lemon!

Very nice. Once I got how to use the numbers, it all clicked.

Yep, [8] got it for me as well.

That was a good puzzle - lots of indexing but I was happy that it didn't send me on a wild goose chase.

Well, if anyone else gets the obscure word THAWERS, I know where you went wrong.
I typically dislike cryptos, so trying to ignore that -- this one was ok.

Very fun. [8] is a big dose of salt.

Wow. Everyone is getting it due to [8], and I'm just not getting it. What are there 34 of? Not letters, not cards in a deck. What?

Well, I too got THAWERS as an answer [18], but found my error (I think). Still stumped on this one though... More salt????
