| Although it's a little geographically biased, it's an excellent teaser. I got the Gold in gate=Goldengate, but I couldn't make the connection with a bridge, and I never got the water bit... very clever. Well done! |

| I got the Golden Gate bit, but never would've made the H to O connection... a bit unfair, I think ;) |
