(OT) Figure these out?

[agate]

I hope someone can figure these out. So far I've got only a few of them.

Evidently, I'm daft, because I don't even know what I'm supposed to figure out. Is there any kind of instruction for this game? I've looked at it repeatedly, but I have no idea what I'm looking for. Color me embarrassed.

I'll be interested to find out what it is ...

Love & Light,

Well, I haven't figured the 1a square out yet but the 1b square is "hitting below the belt." Square 6c is "three ring circus." Now I've given away two of them. I haven't figured many of them out yet.

1a Just between you and me.

8a Reading between the lines.

Rose, I am with you on this. Agate and Ikoiko seem to know something we don't!

6c - 3-ring circus

Rose and Virginia, they're gimmicky versions of common phrases. I still can't figure many of them out. There are 48 in all, and I haven't a clue about 32 of them.

3d - adding insult to injury (they've taken the word insult, added a + sign, and then written the word injury)

After your clue, I figured it out, and I found #1C: Head over heels in love. I have figured out a few others. I'm impressed that you've deciphered 16 of them!

Virginia ~

Look at the clues we've given on the chart to see if that helps you.

Love & Light,

Today I got 2 more. This may be the kind of thing where you need to return to it a day later and find something you didn't notice before.

I think you're right. Today, I found 4 more, which brings my total to a whopping 12! If this were a game show, you'd definitely be the champion!

Good brain teaser ~ thanks for sharing it.

Love & Light,

I just figured out a few with a little bit of time looking, but I haven't spent much time on this one.

When I first looked at this I saw things that looked like the stuff you have to duplicate typing when you have to identify yourself on certain sites.

[agate]

Virginia, those times when you have to prove you're not a robot? I dislike those! I usually can't figure them out and have to go through several of them before I get them right.

[Virginia]

I do to Agate and I wondered if others did. I don't understand why they can't come up with something better.

[agate]

I've noticed that sometimes there's no bunch of letters. There's just a box to check saying "I am not a robot," and that's the end of it. I can get along with that OK. Just don't ask me to decipher anything illegible.
