JinseiNGC224: Good luck with that :P
JudasIscariot: I am not sure if it's my lack of skill at creating these, JMich's super ability to guess my hints, or a combination of both but he sure makes it a challenge, which is good as that keeps me on my hint-crafting toes :P
You have to think obliquely, not just obscurely. And short clues don't always equate to fewer clues. :)
For example, I had thought up one a while back in case
Seven Cities Of Gold made it here. It was a photo-collage of seven of
these. Probably still would have been guessed in the first page, but I bet the car aspect would have led some folks down the wrong alley.
