Here are the hints for the Tanga puzzles between October 23 and October 29. These are just hints, not answers. You can also check the Tanga blog, but people tend to give away the answer too soon there.
I'm adding a link to the sidebar to help you get to this post each day.
I'll put the hints right here in the post, but in a very light color; so if you want to see them, you have to highlight the text to the right of the date. Be careful about reading the post comments, as there may be spoilers in there.
Good luck!
Hints
October 23: Each of the clues should lead you to a proper word.
October 24: Wow, this was incredibly hard, and I needed a few hints. These are real spoilers. First, think about what you might find in your pocket, or in your sofa cushions. Remember you'll be looking for columns. Finally, before you can finish, remember the real nice elephant.
October 25: If you start with the last item in the 2nd row, and then get the first item in the 3rd row, you will understand the theme of the clues.
October 26: First, the MPH clue should read MPG. Also, once you get all twelve clues answered, don't forget the first sentence.
October 27: For the second step, look at the colored edging like a gameboard, where the black square is START.
October 28: After the Cleopatra puzzle, this might be the hardest Tanga I've seen. There is a shortcut, but I won't hint for that because it just makes the puzzle disappointing. But if you are looking for a shortcut, you can check the Tanga blog and someone pretty much gives it away within the first 15 comments. For the long way, I'll help by giving the first letter of each city, and whether it's in the U.S. or not: C (no), B (no), T (yes), B (yes), K (no), P (no), T (no), D (yes) and K (no).
October 29: First, don't use Google to try to find the quote or any of the phrases. The puzzle doesn't require anything that hard. Instead, look at the grid (ignoring colors for a moment) and notice what will be needed to fill it in. When you fill it in, use columns instead of rows. Last, don't bother with the yellow-square instruction -- it won't help you solve the puzzle. Sorry A.

Today's was a lot of fun.
And don't worry about how long it takes you. As long as you finish within 24 hours of when the puzzle opens, you get the same points as everyone else.
Well, I definitely had skylines in mind when I looked at the pictures, because I kept googling different skylines to match them (ie, "Dallas skyline"). And the grid at the top was shaped like a skyline.
BUT, the image that had to be Berlin was actually a picture of Shanghai taken by someone in Germany, so that really messed up the puzzle. Had I not gone to the Tanga blog for hints, that might have tripped me up. But then the Tanga blog had a person basically give away the whole "guess the obvious" concept, and that ruined the puzzle for me.
