Nice and easy and NEW
Had to get out the old pencil and paper for this one. Really great teaser.
I really liked this one! Got it right after I saw the hint. I'm fascinated by pallindromes--numerical and words.
Great teaser! I got it pretty easily
I am not good at these so I did not even try. Sorry, I can't comment on it for that reason, but glad to have you aboard!
easy fun thanks
Interesting teaser. I'm better with word puzzles but I liked the challenge! Thanks!
Might've spoiled it for myself by jumping to the page before trying to solve it, but it was a good one anyways!
Took me a minute to figure out but it was fun!
2.02 is also 2 minutes, but 1.01 is only 1 minute.
Oooo, good one! I got it after a little bit of thought. Perfect difficulty for early morning!
