Brain Teasers
Go!
A two hundred dollar purchase
With a twenty-five dollar rent,
Until you have all four of us,
Then an even return you'll get.
One is next to Illinois,
And one borders Virginia.
One has no state name next to it,
The fourth's near Pennsylvania
What are we?

Nice teaser, apart from being obviously US-centric. The answer should really say "...from the US version of Monopoly"
Fun teaser! I agree with cooltigerr1, the title rocks!
Ah! I never would've guessed. Great teaser!
That was funny
loved it...took me a minute, but I did get it.
What do the foreign versions use in place of the RR's?

I never thought about the fact that a non-U.S. version of Monopoly would have different names for the spaces on Monopoly.....I'll remember that for future teasers (those teasers probably won't center around Monopoly, though!)
Nice teaser!
Cool, but very easy!
i got it after i thought about it for a bit. nice one
weird but still...
The english versions has the following railway stations:-
Fenchurch St
Marylebone
Kings Cross
Liverpool St
I knew the answer as the cost and the rent are the same

Too bad I didn't get the answer even though I spent 2 hours playing Monopoly just yesterday...

too easy, sorry
Way too easy!!
Very clever teaser!
WOULD U BRELIEVE CHILD'S PLAY!
I haven't played Momopoly in years, so that would have been the last thing I thought of. I was thinking of things like Manhattan Island, but that didn't cost $200 now that I rethink it. Good teaser.

EZ. The rent clue gave it away.
Very well written. Thanks.

Good one.
The title sorta gave it away
Very nice. I didn't get it and the clue didn't help at all.
Clever one. Knew it was Monopoly immediately, but eliminated a lot of properties before I remembered railroads.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! I should have gotten that! I LOVE monopoly! GREAT teaser!
that was way too easy but great1
FUN! Didn't guess it though.
neva played the us version of monopoly so had no clue watsoeva :-(
That was a great one. I really liked it alot. I hate playing monopoly because I always get beaten. This time I got one right.
monday~

Hey I don't like monopoly either, probably because my older brother always beat me at it when we were kids! Fun one!
that's really clever
I'm usually awful at riddles, but this one I got at the 2nd read-through--no hint, never even looked at the answer!!!
For people who complain 'too easy', I, for one, happen to enjoy getting one once in a while!!

Amen, wordmama
Thank you, jabdr!!
That was really, really good! One of the best I've seen. I couldn't figure it out until I saw the hint, coupled with the title. Keep 'em coming!
I love the title
Since this is nothing but an every two to three year repeat program, it is time to say goodbye.
Easy, fun and well written!
Very nice. I picked it was Monopoly straight away, but no idea about US towns.
Good-bye, Doehead. I didn't get this one the first time, and I didn't get it this time either. My memory is so bad I would probably not get it if it were re-run tomorrow.
I have never played Monopoly so it never occured to me. I just flat gave up.
Played the game, missed the answer, oh well. Nice teaser!
Easy! But a good one I got it as soon as it said "Until you have all four of us."
Fun and easy teaser. I got it right away as I have played Monopoly several times. The teaser looks like an old one though I do not remember playing it before. I have been playing Braingle for several years but I did not officially sign up for the sight until just over a year ago. I enjoy Braingle and hope the sight continues for years to come.
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser; I got this one very quickly just as I did when I tried this teaser 3 years ago.
Fun! It's always exciting when other support and validate my geeky board game addiction tendencies!
