My first Puzzle Giveaway!

CV needs to be 1+, so most people should be able to have a go

Sorry about the really bad image editing, I used MS Word because I think it's actually better then MS Paint for this stuff, believe it or not.

If it's too difficult then just let me know and I can add hints here

Ends sometime on the 28th of April for most people :D

Here is le link: http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/1SttOB7Z

(P.S.) as it's my first puzzle, please let me know if I fudged up :D tyty

---EDIT---
Alrighty so it was getting a bit difficult at the end; I knew the last ones were going to be more of a challenge. I don't think my answers are written strangely but obviously I understand now that I need a bit of variation and I've added it to the answers for 7 and 8. Oh and 3, 4, ---EDIT--- 5 ---END EDIT---and 6 are only one word (that might help)

Seems I'm learning more about this puzzle business as we go along!

---EDIT---
Added more answers for the few at the end so you can be less exact again - if you get the answers by now you'll understand what I'm trying to do

My next puzzle will have much more answers, don't worry :D

(if you're having issues with 3, ignore the cushion and the strap thing and focus on what the baby is actually doing, the answer is a compound word)

---EDIT---
Added even more answers :D glhf

---EDIT---
The poll results make me feel less like I'm the only one... Thanks :D

---YET ANOTHER EDIT---
Someone suggested to me an answer for 6 that isn't what I had but was pretty sweet so I added that answer too; they're both really similar but if you were having problems with 6 you might find your previous attempts could be correct (same as most of the others really; I added a lot of answers)

---MORE EDITING---
Added another few answers for Q7, as well as adding to the hint for Q8. The closer we get to the GA ending, the more hints I'll give.

I'll stick to one/two word answers next giveaway haha :D they seemed to work well. All about learning I suppose...

---HINTS HINTS HINTS---
Ok so this thing is ending in about one day, so I'm gonna add some hints here that should steer some people in the right track. I'd also recommend looking through the comments because there are some hints in there too (somewhere).

1) Google 'Futurama' if you don't know it, because you'll need to know who this character is to understand the pun here. The answer also includes a European country.
2) What's the man doing? What's he catching? If I'm fishing for dolphins, I'd be dolphin fishing. If I'm fishing for -- ...
3) The answer is also a verb for something teens often do for parents who'd like a break from these little buggars. Don't add 'ing'.
4) Where's the arrow pointing to, in regards to the word? It's pointing to the -- of the word, making the answer week--
5) The end of the word 'potato' could be extended to include the name for the appendage this potato has grown. (It's a simple matter of adding one letter to the end of the word)
6) What is the light replacing? Add that + 'light' (There's also another answer but I think this hint will be enough)
7) What's the cat on? 'Cat on a --'
8) Where's the ball? It's at some type of function (something you might do in your last year of school) - 'Ball at a --'

Okay, those hints should make this puzzle as easy as 1 2 3 (4 5 6 7 8) :D

easy fix -- 5 is one word too :D Although I've added so many answers you might be able to solve it with two ;)

I'll edit the original edit to be more complete :D

Does #5 have anything to do with actual potatoes or am I on the wrong track ?

Everything but 7 and 8 - will be waiting for hints - also i can think of an answer to 8 with just 2 words, but it's wrong :(. Please let me suggest a possible answer for 8 - you'll prob think it's valid too

I added a nice hint to 7 in an earlier comment which should steer you in the right direction to 8 as well. Hopefully it should be enough to get you over the line :D

Came back to this after attempting the first day. The hints helped with 7 and 8 but I didn't really like them as play on words like the others.
Passed on the GA, but thanks for the quiz.

Allg I'm learning much about what people want -- I've said it a lot but I'll say it again -- 1-6 I'll look at doing again; 7-8 I WON'T be! :D

7/8 not what I thought which are the obvious answers which make sense to me! Free bump!

Have you looked at the hints I have put up? There's not much more I can say!

7) the word for what the cat is on has the word 'cat' in it -- if that makes sense (cat on a 'cat_')
8) the name for the thing the ball is at is the same name for the ball itself (I'm trying really hard not to make it so bleedingly obvious now)

hopefully they helped (that last one was intentionally cryptic because I just said the answer >.<)

GL there's 40mins left!

7) I've tried that! I'm 100% positive I've tried what you are trying to tell me and I'm typing in exactly what it is and it comes up as wrong. :(
8) I again have typed what I believe it to be to no result! :(. When it's over please reveal the answers!

Bah! I got them right I didn't write "on a" or "at a"! Thanks for the game and puzzle!

BTW, the thing you did to make the puzzle(eg play on words) are called "rebus" or "dingbats" puzzles. :)

I tried Q7 & 8 and I think what causes some confusion is that most people wouldn't use the same word twice in the answer to describe the obvious gest. For example on Q7 I would rather say just .... than .... on a ..... Q8 the same thing. Still nice puzzle ;)

That's part of the pun! Suppose some people just think differently as we can see

Needless to say my next puzzle will either (A) not need so many variants or (B) have all these variants added in to begin with :D
