Tanga Times (Photoshop Contest!) - October 3rd, 2007 by pcox82

Hola, this is pcox82 coming at you with my very first, very own Tanga Times! Hooray! Let me start out by saying thanks for the opportunity to write. Now let’s get down to business and try something different. I’ve noticed there are some pretty good photoshoppers at this site, so let’s put some of those skills to the test and make a contest out of it. Here, only robrizob knows I am an avid

Last week we had a great turnout for the weekly rebus contest with 34 entries total. It was a tough decision, but Philana regained the rebus crown from Apparatus for this rebus. DrParty06 and Apparatus took the two runner-up prizes for this one and this one respectively. Let me

I can’t believe Autumn has already arrived and the first day of October is already here! Time to start thinking about some Halloween-themed puzzles! Does anybody have a clever costume they plan to wear?

Well, I promised a link to a more online-based logic puzzle site and I’m delivering.

Here is the first one.

Hello everyone,

October 15 is our birthday – yep, Tanga’s growing up. A whole whopping 1-year old. And yes, we’re going to get Tanga Joe a pacifier.

To celebrate, we’re going to release some cool new features on the site, and we’d like to do it in grand Tanga style! We’re looking for 100 brand new One-Word Wonders. What will we do with those puzzles? We’re not telling – but we bet

Last week’s rebus contest was quite a success. Apparatus and Philana traded rebus blows with Apparatus barely edging Philana after last week’s guest judge, my magic 8-ball, returned an answer of “outlook not so good” when I asked “do you think Philana will go on a date with me?” Sorry, Philana, but them’s the breaks :) You can see last week’s winning entry here

The focus for tonight’s Tanga Times is Logic Problems. In that spirit, the puzzles being linked to are not web-based but must be downloaded. Actually, that wasn’t the intent but it happened to work out that way. Next week I will do another Logic-themed TT and will try to find links that are web-based applications for solving logic puzzles.

Tanga Party Recap

Wow, our first Tanga party. Fun was had by all. Tanga Monkey gave away a ton of board games at the auction. Lots of games played, food ate, drinks drank. We all honored Wrayman, the lone Super Tanga User at the party.

View some pictures!

It was fantastic to meet all of you. We hope

Today’s puzzle comes from the new Fall TV premieres. Now, I know that we won’t see Lost, 24 or Battlestar Galactica until 2008, but there are plenty of shows to keep us complaining until then. From the tabloid headlines below, name the shows. First one to get them all gets all the points (20).

1. Political family torn apart by new-found power!
2. All-Star gains access to secret government docum

Most of you seem to be enjoying these rebus contests, so I figure we’ll keep at it for a little while longer. This week, let’s do movies. Try to keep it to fairly well known movies, although a good rebus should yield the answer regardless. Nevertheless, we don’t want to struggle with some obscure, Norwegian cult classic. Or do we?

Obligatory example:

Hey all you hypercross authors!

We will eventually have a way for you to tag you puzzles as draft or final versions. In the mean time, could everyone please name your puzzles “draft” until you are ready for them to be published?

When you design your grids, if you keep them under 13 columns then the letter boxes don’y get laterally compressed. You can have as many rows as you want.

Welcome to your weekly installment of V’s Riddle Corner. Each Friday evening (posted on Saturday!) I’ll provide you with a few riddles to earn you some Tanga Points, and perhaps even a few links to waste some time. The links will tend to be to interesting facts or fun videos, while the puzzles will frequently be based in logic or maths (gasp!). So, without further adieu…

For my first run at the Tanga Times, I thought I’d try a good, old-fashioned trivia contest. Every question relates to games in some way, no matter how indirectly. All 20 points will go to the first person to post all 10 correct answers.

1. In the film “Searching for Bobby Fischer,” Joe Mantenga played the father of a young chess prodigy. Who does he play on The Simpsons?

2. Actor Michael J.

Tonight’s Tanga Times is all about sliding puzzles. One the most famous is “The 15 Puzzle,” which was like the Rubik’s Cube (during the 1980s) of the late 1870s. The 15 square tiles were numbered 1 to 15 and the goal was to arrange them in the correct order inside a four-by-four grid. Another popular one, called Dad’s Puzzle (here’s an image),

Hi all!

I think we had a pretty neat turnout for the origin of our member usernames discussion (http://tanga.com/forum/blogs/967 – I keep going back to see if anyone else has shared their thoughts – so, thosw and renfurdson, and all you tangans – enquiring minds want to know!).

I’ve been looking around Tanga’s site, and one of the cool things is being able to upload an image for your user profile. As I perused, I was surprised that of the the images I found, most were not a picture of the user, but another neat image.

Just poking around I’ve found these users have uploaded images (this is not inclusive by any means, as I couldn’t check out all 17,000 users – please d
