Sure, after I post the answers to the current ones, feel free to put up some of your own.

That being said, you all have until tommorrow (unless I forget) to guess the answers- then I'll post them.

Edit: For a lot of them, you have to think homonyms...

Edit 2: OK, no one else guessed, so here come the answers. Get ready to groan.

19. A long letter from home (Obscure, I know)
21. Ferris wheel (From ferrous, referring to iron)
29. Two goes into eight four times. (Homonyms to and two)
30. Count me out (Synonyms here, enumerate and count)

Now that I think of it, they're surprisingly easy to come up with (The puzzles themselves, I mean, not the answers) so if you want me to put some here NSNick then just ask

Nope and nope. Heh, if no one gets any for a few more days, I'll post the answers and explanations.

You got 16, 27, and 28 correct. That was a good guess for 19, but the answer is a kind of obscure phrase, I don't know if anyone will get it.

All of those are right except for your guess on #21.

I guess you people have to hurry if you want to get these...

I keep checking back on this thread to see if you've edited one of your posts. But if I post here, you can post again when you come up with more puzzles and create one of those incredible "NEW" icons next to the thread.
