Your daily puzzle commentary

Not that I plan on commenting on puzzles daily. It just seems like I have been.

Today’s Tanga puzzle was nice, though quite easy. The only reason it took me longer than a minute was, I had to sing the song.

Common Knowledge over at Puzzability took me much longer to get. That third item on the list threw me off the trail entirely. Even now, I don’t fully understand what it has to do with the final answer.

    They won’t let us have Java at work — what’s the word list?

    Highlight below to reveal the answers:

    DEATH VALLEY
    CHARLIE BROWN
    PUNCTURED BASKETBALL
    WALL STREET
    TROPICAL WEATHER MAP

    The final answer is ten letters long.

    (I like the clue for the second answer, by the way: “I get no kicks…”)

    Is it DEPRESSION? If that’s right, perhaps #3 fits because the answer is the opposite of INFLATION.

    Francis may be right about the association; but I think it’s tenuous. They, ah, dropped the ball on that one.
