well, I spelled them all correctly twice and still didn't get the solve. I hope it's not because of the, er, bugs!

I also spelled them correctly and didnt get the points. What bugs are they that you're referring to cassandra?

the "insects" for "inserts." However, I've seen several people listed as having solved this one correctly, so I can only assume that perhaps it's something else. I have an idea but it will have to wait.

Yup, ditto on it not accepting my very carefully spelled answers either. Tried typing the names correctly as proper nouns (upper case 1st letter) then all upper case and neither worked. Weird.

I'd worked out the answers before looking here... typed the answers in to solve it and it said 'incorrect'. Tried twice but it logged it as 3 attempts.
I've come here to check my answers and they appear to be the same as yours.
No idea - now the stupid thing won't let me try anymore answers today

by the way, the card catalog entry fFor this one shows "insects". You know, i saw that a while ago, when the card was posted, and boggled at the idea. never ocurred to me it might be a typo.

For those of you who are having trouble, all of the answers are here in this thread and correct. I'm guessing folks are having problems with misspellings; I recommend copy-and-paste.

So the misspelled "Dodson" is accepted over Dodgson? That's crazy.

Just to check, we have to enter the answer to "Select Odd Words, Laughing" as:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Charles Lutwidge Dodson
rather than the correct
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson
That's crazy, are Mind Candy copying the answers from the forums?!

Yeah, I attempted to enter the name correctly, but the wouldn't accept the solve. But when I copied and pasted from the forums, misspelling included, it worked.
MC might be copying, but then again, they just might be bad spellers.
