I got them all...but pumpkins are GOURDS, not melons. The clue should be "empty cantaloupe."
Fun and entertaining teaser. It took awhile but I got them all. I also agree that "Empty Melon" is a bit of a stretch for a definition of "Hollow Pumpkin".
Loved it! I was stoked that I got one with a difficulty of >2.5, but now that I see only 2 comments, likely the sample size is still too small to make the rating meaningful. Oh well, I'll keep my proud feeling, nonetheless.
Still proud of myself for getting them all, 4 years later. That's TWO comments before yours, markw!
