 ...those are good! The only one I got was the backward glance, maybe because I only glanced at it.

Now that I see some of the answers, I feel really _______, well I'll just say less than smart. The puzzles seem so obvious when the answers are in my face. Oh well, I won't beat myself down too badly.
Ok, someone, bring on some more puzzles so our minds can stay sharp so we don't get lost on the trail to summit Mt. Whitney.

Not quite, but getting warm.
There were a couple of puzzling threads back early in the year that revolved around trivia - "Jeopardy" style, started by wagga (of course) - but the concept kinda died on the vine. Hopefully this one will take on a life of it's own, like the Silly Jokes thread that Lynn-a-roo resurrected.
The trick is finding a puzzle that can't be easily Googled for the answer. I still can't figure out Rod's ababababababab. . .

Not so much a puzzle, but I spotted this in Column 8 in the Sydney Morning Herald. " We knew this anagram business would get right of hand, but not even Column 8 was expecting to get anything quite like this, from Tim Browne, of Killara." Quote: "To be or not to be: that is the question, whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune." The anagram is hidden. Anagram: "In one of the Bard's best thought-of tragedies, our insistent hero, Hamlet, queries on two fronts about how life turns rotten."

Here is the definition of anagram. I didn't make it up - I'm just as amazed as you. PS: Aussie or Oz.
