Hmmm....1-7, and 10 are pretty obvious (to me). I have a guess for 9, but 8 has me stumped.

Stuck on 8

Fun! ! #'s 1 through 5, and #9 are easy, but #'s 6, 7, 8 and 10 are going to take some thought.

Rusty

Posted this and almost immediately a possibility for #10 popped into my mind.

Got five right away. Will think of the others later. 4 and 8 have me stumped.

Just stuck on 8... it reminds me of Horatio Algier....

Stuck on #8

Stuck on #8.

A second cup of coffee and a Jimmy Dean Frittata worked wonders. I have possible answers for all of them now. And slapping myself upside of my head over #7! How could I have been so stumped over something so simple! Sometimes I think my advanced age is getting the best of my brain!

“And slapping myself upside of my head over #7! How could I have been so stumped over something so simple!”

Rusty, I admit I was contemplating commenting about that. Thought the better of it as I didn’t want it to be taken the wrong way! 🙂

(still stuck on 8)

Hmm #6, #8, #9, #10 are stumping me.

Edit: Seconds later, I have #9!

As a Chicago Bears fan, I can think of only one answer for #10, and of course it can't be the answer.

Edit #2: , a few minutes later, I have #6.

Edit #3: and a few more minutes later, #10. Just have #8 to go. Hmmm...

#6, 7 and 9 are creating issues for me.

Oh bpath! That’s the answer I got for #10. (sort of but with a bit of emotion thrown in) Now, I’m rethinking it.

I think I have them all except for #8.

And thanks again, Jasdip!

Got #9 so just 6 and 7 to go.

My answer for 8 has like 12 words in it… so I’m guessing it’s wrong!

LOL FOAS! I do have a tendency to overthink things. These puzzles are supposed to be complicated, right? So my goofy brain tends to try to make them complicated even when they are not. And if your answer for #8 has 12 words in it, it must be very similar to my answer, which I am betting on to be right. Would thinking about Robin Hood bring the answer to mind?

Rusty

My answer for #8 has a lot of words in it as well.

Stuck on #8

You're on the right track for #8!!!

Still stumped by #8...

Oh, I changed a word in my wordy not-working solution to #8 and I might have it.

still don't have 8 or 9

With the hint I am now pretty sure I finally have #8. Very good ones this time.

For #9 - there is a missing letter.

Here you go!

1. Adding insult to injury

2. A bit under the weather

3. the ball is in your court

4. Let the cat out of the bag

5. Beat around the bush

6. No one to blame

7. Yellow belly

8. Take from the rich and give to the poor

9. Three blind mice

10. Green eyed monster

Thanks to the tips about #9, i got them all! even 10 which i wasnt quite sure about.

100% thanks to the hint. Very fun. Thanks Jasdip.

8. Take from the rich and give to the poor

Oh my. I had contemplated whether the space was relevant but unfortunatey chalked it up to font. Looking at it again it makes total sense.

Much more sense than what I came up with. In my defense I knew there’s no way it could be right.

I'm really curious as to what you came up with for #8, FOAS. It's always interesting and fun to see everyone's answers.

I had 'Steal from the rich and give to the poor' for #8, and for #1, 'Insult added to injury'. Close enough, I guess. I'm still embarrassed about how long it took me to realize just how simple #7 is, and it also took me entirely too long to realize the green bars in #10, on either end of 'monster' are intended to be i's.

Whatever, I still think these are fun puzzles, and I appreciate you Jasdip, for finding and posting them.

Rusty

Got them all but I did say steal from the rich and give to the poor.

I don't see how #8 yields the phrase...the rebus is usually more literal...unless I'm missing something.

I agree with Annie on #8. The words that make up the phrase arent obvious to the clues given. You actually have to add a lot of words to come up with the answer. Yes, what are we missing?

Yes I believe you are missing somethjng. They took the ”ch” from rich and gave it to (added it to) poor.

“the rebus is usually more literal.”

LOL that’s how i knew “Inside every rich man is a poor kid that followed his dreams” wasn’t right!

I eventually did get 8 (that was a good one!), but the one I got wrong was 9. When I saw the answer, I thought, 3 blind mice, how can that be?!? Ten minutes later, while in another room it hit me.....no "i's" = blind!......aaaaahhh....! Cute.

Ah thank you FOAS!!! I wasn't getting that at all. Now it makes sense!

I've never heard of the phrase yellow belly. That was my answer as it was fairly obvious but it didn't mean anything to me.

These were more taxing for my poor brain and still fun.

I just looked up the origin and it was nothing to what I thought. I always assumed that calling someone yellow meant cowardly and it was because of the color of urine and when people get scared, they can wet themselves. So much for what I know.

There’s a YellowBelly Brewery in St. John’s, Newfoundland

,Thanks for the puzzles, Jasdip 🙂

FOAS, same for me, and thank you for that explanation.

And a big thank you to Jasdip. i dont have a clue where you come up with all these but they are a fun challenge. Some, obviously, more than others, lol!
