Two things.
-
I did a whole lot more work than NumericalNeuroticism to get the first one.
-
The second one now has Moxy Fruvous’ King of Spain stuck in my head. Anyone know the significance of that line “My unspeakable wife, Queen Lisa”? It doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the rest of the song.

Each puzzle below consists of items in a specific category. We’ve removed one letter from each word, and then closed up the spaces. The missing letters, in order, spell one other item from the same category. For example, P I N M A P E S U A C yields the trees PINE, MAPLE, SUMAC, with the missing letters spelling ELM. Can you determine the extra item in each case?

I don’t understand how number 3 connects…
Correct!
10/4 Themes
The themes are:
- Seasonings
- sticky things
- items stored in a garage
- Crime scene evidence
Huh, I was thinking #3 was connected as candies / sweets, so maybe tape was in reference to things like Bubble Tape or those long rolls of Dots or licorice tape or whatever
Yeah, I got #2, but couldn’t figure out how the missing letter word made any sense. I had to look at the answer where it said the theme.

10/5/2021 - HIP! HIP! ARRAY!
Place a number in each empty cell of this array so that the numbers in the top and middle cells in each column sum to the number in the bottom cell. Also, in each row, the numbers in the first two cells sum to the number in the third cell; the second and third sum to the fourth; and the third and fourth sum to the fifth. When you’ve filled the array, convert the shaded numbers to letters (1=A, 2=B, etc.). If you do it correctly, you can rearrange the letters into a common five-letter word. What is the word?
