The only other answer I have for #6 is + Show Spoiler + A volcano. However, I'm pretty confident magma melts most stuff (except maybe titanium, which has a higher melting point than magma), so I don't really see that as "dry"! | ||

One morning, Mary gave five cents to each of her five sons. What time is it, and why? + Show Spoiler + I'm looking for an actual time. 21. Australian organ. + Show Spoiler + Start with the name of a city. 32. Condom, Handgun, Dodge + Show Spoiler + While protection/ safety are good answers that I hadn't thought about, there's another completely different one... Maybe you should ask Derek Zoolander? 37. Plumbing, Lion, U.S.A. + Show Spoiler + While pride could work for lions and U.S.A., I'm not so sure about that one for plumbing. Instead, consider the actual names of the states. 38. Lost Continent, Friction, Pokemon + Show Spoiler + I'd expect you to be psychic to get this one correct. 50. ??? = L it T to G to the T R C of a T P. + Show Spoiler + A few of you got this one, which was really impressive. As for the rest of you... ask Mr. Owl. If you have any questions on any others, let me know! I got all of these except 5 and an alternative 32. Is 5 my only mistake? Also that item doesn't make any sense even if that other dude is right. I refuse that is the correct answer :p Edit: this contest is balls. Dark plasma balls. | ||

That and a few other similar times are interesting based on play-on words with the money, but + Show Spoiler + Those answers are also technically non sequiturs. + Show Spoiler + My answer is kind of a dick answer tbh. | ||

Nice job; you got the last remaining answer I gave out the TL+ subscriptions already... I looked at the answers that pretty much everyone had (the easier ones) and then kept looking for some people to update their remaining answers with the toughest solutions. | ||
