Salt on the easy:

Splice two words together to create a third word that is the answer. What he is, and what he's feeling.

I only have the opportunity to dig into these once or twice a week, so applying customary interpretation doesn't do a lot for me. I think I'll have to stop staring at this one and just buy "UTSOTD" and try to snag "ROTH" when is pops up next.

Thanks, though.

HEAVY DOSE OF SODIUM CHLORIDE FOR THE ONE WORD WONDER:

Spoiler (mouseover to reveal):
The pirates each lack something unique. Write down what each thing is. Then, use the belt buckles to decide what to take from each.

That was heavy. I got it, and now feel dumb. However, I also bought the games, so I feel better about that.

Stupid question: Why the reference to salt in relation to hints?

Leadfoot has a FAQ on the subject, but the short answer is that someone once accidentally put the answer to one of the puzzles into the comment section instead of the answer box. The answer was "salt" and that started it.

And whenever I post, I usually figure it out, but I'm drawing a bloody blank here.

HEAVY SALT for the Pirate one
Spoiler (mouseover to reveal):
Ok, we're missing:
Foot
Tooth
Hand
Eye

And each pirate's buckle says "3", so I'm taking the third letter from each, and getting "oone". Which made me think that the answer was noone (since that would have the n missing), but that didn't help.

I tried the third letter from the end, and got "ooae", which is also useless. I've got to be missing something obvious...


Any help?

p.s. there's no such thing as a stupid question only stupid answers!

Or, one that made me smile:
"There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots out there"

-- I really don't believe that, because the idiots are the one's who DON'T ask the questions! laugh

He mentions that it's a "mean feat" to distill words. What other way can you express a word?

Any hint as to what the phrase "mean feat" means even outside this puzzle?

I tried googling and didn't get squat. Not a huge math fan anyhow.
