Good! That completes 25.George Jones said:Howard Heston.
About 'sad'? No, there isn't. For 'X', read the pointers in the OP.rewebster said:I took the 'x' as the two separate words 'cross' to give the answer---was there something about 'sad'?
An integral is the opposite of a derivative, so that's the first route to the answer. The second route involves 'grail'. What do you have left when you take 'grail' out of 'integral'? Now look at the 'X' again.rewebster said:because its a function and not a derivative?
Correct answer once again. And the method is close but not exactly right. This one is pretty tricky, so expect something a little different from the other 5 in that set.----what about third answer in post 68?
Good. That completes 26.rewebster said:nte=nutty? ten
Yes, I do. seer+gore+jog is not an anagram of the answer. Take another look at it.do you want more for 29?
Nice work! I was looking for Zapper. Explanations?28 zapperz

Gokul43201 said:rewebster: You get a half day time-out (hold any thoughts till 1pm ET tomorrow). I'd like folks from other time zones to also get a chance at these.
The top bit is good - seen gore jog = george jones; the bottom one isn't what I want.rewebster said:Seen Gore Jog

I've tried to restrict answers to members that are pretty active and hence, likely known by most participants. There isn't really a name for this type of game, but the style of cluing is modeled along the lines of cryptic crosswords that I grew up with. Many major newspapers carry a daily cryptic crossword. I don't know any that do only names of people though - that would be pretty hard to organize into a crossword.bassplayer142 said:These are really hard. My problem is that I don't know everyones name on the forum good enough. Is there a specific name for this kind of puzzle. I wouldn't mind finding some online of actors, musicians, or people I might know.
Answer = "G01" (fourier pair)24) [tex]ji\sqrt{2\pi} \delta^{(1)} (k)[/tex]
Correct!arunbg said:Dang, little too late in spotting this thread. From the level of puzzles, I'd say this one is the toughest compared to games I and II.
23. Math Jeans - "bottoms of Nimes" ->denims -> Jeans and "must count" -> Math
Yes, it has to do with geese, but not their mating habits. What does "Mr." suggest?30. 1) Not sure, but has it got anything to do with geese (genus anser) and their mating habits?
Good! That completes 29.arunbg said:29. 1) Old Indian teacher of natural laws -> guru -> surely a reference to PF's 2007 Physics guru!
No, it isn't. But I've got to know why you said that!siddharth said:Answer = "G01"
Gokul43201 said:No, it isn't. But I've got to know why you said that!
Okay, no. I like my answer better. It's probably even more convoluted, but nevertheless has a nice finish!siddharth said:I thought ji -> G and the Fourier transform of the delta function (about the origin) is one -> 01

Good job!neutrino said:A dangerous gander.
Yes, it is. I decided to skip the jim part. Do you have an explanation? There may be more to it that first meets the eye.Is #22 jim mcnamara? I have no idea how the 'jim' comes about, though.
Got it after the hint, but then saw neutrino's post. Do I get a quarter brownie point for the goose part lol?A dangerous gander.
Gokul43201 said:Yes, it is. I decided to skip the jim part. Do you have an explanation? There may be more to it that first meets the eye.
That's correct, and is mostly all I expected anyone to get, but there's a special half-brownie point to be had in making the connection to the rest of the clue (probably easier for Americans, though).neutrino said:cram a man -clumsily-> mcnamara
Well done! You get the SHBP!arunbg said:#22. "for a Sec." referring to Robert McNamara, Kennedy's Secretary of Defense?
Thank you so much, what can I say... sniff... I'd like to thank my family, my computer and wikipedia for their continued help and support ...sniff... PeaceWell done! You get the SHBP!
