I only JUST finished. Yoga last night kept me out of the running for first place, and song #8 has had me banging my head against a wall since last week! Finally got it... with a little help from my friends who kindly left so many clues :)

Good luck to everyone for the prize drawings!

Does this mean we can get a 10th of each answer wrong and still win? :-)

How Did You Know? Is it just me, or do you all get logged out every time you come back to Facebook, even though you've checked the box that says"Keep me logged in" ????

I keep that box unchecked, because I don't want to stay logged in when I close my browser window. But sometimes it does anyway... And sometimes the box even checks itself. That's what bothers me.

Any kind souls in the mood to offer hints (again) for numbers 1 & 5? I'm sure once I know the answer to #1, phoning home and pubbing and Northampton will make sense, but it's all a blur to me now. And Chan plus others have convinced me that I've got #5 wrong (sorry if I misled anyone with my hint for it). Help?

Tip for the Day 4/L2 puzzle--print it out. I tried working it offline riding in a car doing it in my head, a huge PITA, but got it. Had to confirm a couple I'd never heard of, but they worked...

How Did You Know? D2L1 hint: we didn't exactly goof, but goofy has a doppelgänger of sorts. Try him instead and you should be on your way to L2.

I also have one image in D1L2 that I can't seem to fit in, do I understand correctly that it isn't necessary to use all the rebus pictures, so long as you have the answers?

How Did You Know? Even though it's T-day, next week, we'll still have our usual monthly Hunt... so sharpen those keyboards and get ready. The next 5-day HDYK starts Tuesday!
