Try Googling for a list to help determine the borderline cases. Guess I got lucky and got the right times to start

Thanks, I got my answers the old fashioned way, by actually picking up a clock and determining the numbers...
(BTW - those DON'T match the wiki list)


Here's salt for those still frustrated
Spoiler (mouseover to reveal):
you have to anagram to get the final result

Its amazing that there is a wiki answer with the same list I came up with. I used a pocket calculator and geometry to make the puzzle. Solving it would be easier with Excel.

Any hints for the Hypercross - I am missing the 2 shoes on the map and the 4 hams ones. Maybe not brands I am familiar with or maybe I am just a little dense in the weekends. (probably due to the theme!)

As I suspected I haven't heard of either of these. I got the porky one but still have no clue to the "OLDXXXXXXXX" one. US geography is not my long suit.

You're looking for something else associated with the composer's name (though not with the composer).

I understand the clues but solved it by guessing.

Can someone GM me to tell me why

Spoiler (mouseover to reveal):
the Wiki keyboard gave me VCH as the first word?


Did I use the wrong one? Or use it incorrectly? Or not enough?

Can anyone salt me on the hypercross? I have a vague idea what's going on but can't really make heads or tails of it. Either salt here or GMs would be appreciated!

EDIT::

Never mind...right after posting that, we got it.

I cant believe that made it through the screening process...

Okay... I'm on the 10/17 Hypercross Puzzle...

I'm so lost, it's not even funny. Here's what I have...

Spoiler (mouseover to reveal):
lube - e = lub + "noleftturn" - ght
what's up w/ THAT?
Spoiler (mouseover to reveal):
confederate flag - bell
I read on the comments that it's a stretch, so no clue here either
Spoiler (mouseover to reveal):
core - e = cor + (states? us?)

Spoiler (mouseover to reveal):
dew - w = e
definitely not enough letters
Spoiler (mouseover to reveal):
cavemen - cave = men + die - e = mendi

Spoiler (mouseover to reveal):
desk - k = des
Read that it was obscure, so I was thinking
Spoiler (mouseover to reveal):
secretary desk?

Spoiler (mouseover to reveal):
apple - e = appl + eye = appleye? apply?


Anybody have any salt on how to fill in the blanks here? I don't understand this "Magic Word" people keep talking about.

I've been frustrated since last night and I can't make any progress here. Please help. Thx.

Spoiler (mouseover to reveal):

OMG, that was obnoxious... I didn't even see the overlapping area clues. =-/

At first I thought you were belittling me w/ the "CANT be any clearer".

LOL

Thank you much! =-]
