And I'm pretty sure #55 is not actually Boom Boom Pow.... it's just weird that another song references "stepping on leprechauns." I guess that's hardcore slang I'm not aware of..... where's Fanny when you need her?

Re: Game #169: A Musical Salute to the Piltdown Man
OK, this may not be right (obviously) or it may need refining, but I've got three matches and a bunch of possibles.
Piltdown Man was also, in addition to being a composite skeleton that turned out to be a hoax, touted to be "the missing link" in science.
First pair is a song title that can be truncated and paired with a missing word on the end, coupled with an artist from elsewhere on the list. Second pair is formed like that, only the truncation is off the front. They are linked by the missing word in each title.
Example 1: Melissa Manchester is on the list, but also did a song called Midnight Blue. Blue on Blue is on the list. Eric Clapton is on the list, but also did a song called After Midnight. After the Lovin' is on the list. So our solution template might look like this:
111. AFTER the lovin' + 24. Eric Clapton and 86. blue on BLUE + 38. Melissa Manchester = MIDNIGHT
97. FREE ride + 125. Lynyrd Skynyrd and 53. hound DOG + 1. Everly Brothers = DOG
75. HAPPY jack + 104. The Turtles and 30. always and FOREVER + 41. Rick Astley = TOGETHER
Partials:
2. WELCOME TO THE black parade + 115. Guns & Roses and 91. cow cow BOOGIE + (Kool and the Gang song?) = JUNGLE
? + ? and 15. genie IN A BOTTLE + 74. Jim Croce = TIME
72. STILL THE one + 94. Bob Seger and ? + ? = SAME

Re: Game #169: A Musical Salute to the Piltdown Man
Ugh... my head exploded trying to come up with a match.
117. LEADER OF THE Pack + Paul McCartney & Wings and 54. Fox ON THE RUN + 37. Dan Fogelberg= BAND
I think I did that right....

Re: Game #169: A Musical Salute to the Piltdown Man
Maybe a better format would be:
117. LEADER OF THE Pack + 37. Dan Fogelberg / 22. Paul McCartney & Wings (BAND) + 84. Fox ON THE RUN
That makes my head hurt a little less looking at it...

As for the Venus in Blue Jeans/Neil Diamond match.... I think the missing part has to be a song that starts with TOGETHER which would pair it with Rick Astley, but so far we only have songs that end in that word...

Oh, and additional kudos for figuring out the clue in the game title. Did that help you figure out the Tangredi, or did figuring out the Tangredi come first?

Re: Game #169: A Musical Salute to the Piltdown Man
The discussion between Ear and jarnon got me thinking about what might be the title clue. I"m not sure I would have gotten it just from missing link, though. Honestly, if "Welcome to the..." hadn't been so close to the front, and beast hadn't had to provide the GNR answer in a separate message, it would have taken me a LOT longer. But I just happened to be scrolling through when "missing link," "Welcome to the," and Guns and Roses all jumped out at me. Once I started looking for other matches, things started to fall together, especially when I saw Melissa Manchester, who was essentially a two-hit wonder.franktangredi wrote:May I offer the one I used in my personal answer key (which you guys never see)?mrkelley23 wrote:I agree with Frank that there must be a cleaner format for writing the solutions.

I appreciate the kudos. I can honestly say that you are the best puzzle meister I've ever encountered, and that includes Will Shortz, who belonged to the same fraternity I did at IU (although he was there several years before me.) I don't know if everyone here appreciates the subtlety and attention to detail in your games, but I do.

Re: Game #169: A Musical Salute to the Piltdown Man
One complete and a partial 9took out Time in a bottle since it was found already)
39. AIN'T THAT A KICK IN THE HEAD + SHAME + 70. MAN ON THE MOON = Ain't That a Shame (7. Fats Domino) and Shame on the Moon (94. BOB SEGER)
?? + Tuesday + 85. SUNNY AFTERNOON = ?? and Tuesday Afternoon (118. Moody Blues)
by any chance would a missing answer be a Ruby so we could fill in the Stones there?

Midnight Blue was played to the point of nausea around these parts, at a time when I was listening to the radio A LOT. That's why that one leaped to my head so quickly.

Re: Game #169: New Consolidation
Took out the clues for the ones we know, because I THINK all the errors were corrected. I only included the full matches we have for now, because I think there could be a lot of "false positive" partials for this game. I still can't find a Kool and the Gang song amongst the unknowns, for instance (And since that's the last part of the match that convinced me of the Tangredi, wouldn't that be a kick in the head?)

3. MATERIAL GIRL - MADONNA
^4. ONE OF THESE NIGHTS - EAGLES
5. GOD ONLY KNOWS – BEACH BOYS

Re: Game #169: New Consolidation
This could be "Big Fun" by K&tG, but I'm not sure.mrkelley23 wrote:Took out the clues for the ones we know, because I THINK all the errors were corrected. I only included the full matches we have for now, because I think there could be a lot of "false positive" partials for this game. I still can't find a Kool and the Gang song amongst the unknowns, for instance (And since that's the last part of the match that convinced me of the Tangredi, wouldn't that be a kick in the head?)
