Stuck on the first puzzle. It could be ridiculously obvious Solved the other two.

2$\begingroup$ "Not bad" is the phrase you're looking for. $\endgroup$– ForkliftCommented Jul 27, 2017 at 19:00

$\begingroup$ I dunno, 'bad' crossed out being 'not bad' isn't much of a 'mindbender'. ;) The other 2 pictures aren't that explicit. I'd sooner guess 'bad-off', maybe? $\endgroup$– WaltCommented Jul 28, 2017 at 0:20

The first is simply
Not bad - its bad crossed out as Forklift said in the comments
The second is obviously
On second thought(s) - 'on' on the second thoughts (assuming this is a British English book then it will be thoughts, if it is AmE then it will be thought)
The last one is
Bits and bobs - a list of bits and a collection of people who have the first name 'bob'

1$\begingroup$ I've never heard the second one as a plural before. $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 27, 2017 at 21:08

$\begingroup$ (1) I don’t have a better answer, but I agree with Walt — it’s too easy compared to the other two. (2a) I, also, have never heard this as a plural before (in the US). (2b) Bad puzzle! It’s actually “on” on (the second box); I believe that this doesn’t work well. (3) I’ve never heard of this phrase at all. You might as well say that it’s “numbers added to celebrities”. $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 3, 2017 at 4:04

$\begingroup$ @PeregrineRook 1 seems to be a warm up, which is probably why it's easier. I did think that it was wrong to have the word 'on' because that makes it 'on on second thought(s)' 3, really?! Surprising, it's a famous phrase, same as odds and ends, bits and pieces, etc. $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 3, 2017 at 12:21
