Puzzle 114 - with a twist

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Oops. Casper & Kitty, you needed to wait until another person guessed before you guessed again. HOWEVER I think the way I did the replies threw you off. It looked like Randi had placed another guess. So I will leave your N as a valid guess and change the way I reply to your posts.

I'll put everyone's tallies after the puzzle in the future. This is the first time I've done puzzles like this so, please, be patient with me.
Sorry.

Now here is where we are:
