Schpuzzle finally solved(...Current Progress Report:<br />Schpuzzle finally solved(I think---not to give away too much, but shouldn't it be spelled T-U-L-O-T-O?).<br />Appetizers solved(I have an alternative answer for #1, which popped into my head immediately as, or just after, I read it. Nonetheless, I see exactly what you're going for here, as it was my next guess after looking up brand names of kitchen/bathroom products which would fit the criteria.<br />For #2, the Billy Ray hint helped especially, though I had to look up the military person to make sure. Not exactly "famous" in my book.<br />Got #3 right off, had more trouble with #4, which I just got and could kick myself for not getting it earlier. Your hint definitely helped, first name that came to mind, fit the clues perfectly.<br />Slice: Still don't get the Mel Novak connection, haven't found any mention of an acronym anywhere.<br />Entree Progress: Finally got #9, #2 and #3 are still anybody's guess.(Hope SDB got a great laugh out of the latter. I may laugh too, once I see it revealed tomorrow.)<br />Finally got the Dessert, due in no small part to the hint.<br />pjbKnowsLegoIsAlwaysUpTo"MuyBueno",Never"NoGood"cranberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15404075259072141202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3930236368587920355.post-6124772120976878552022-11-15T11:25:22.803-08:002022-11-15T11:25:22.803-08:00Tuesday Hints:
