| looks like something happened to "sounder" in the clue (ie, it's not there). oh, well... I guess that can be the bonus answer! |

| i didn't like this one, because it's one that you either know it, or don't. teasers are supposed to be ones that anybody can try to FIGURE OUT. there is no way you could FIGURE THESE OUT if you didn't already know them.   |

| Look it up on the Net if you want to "FIGURE IT OUT". I wonder who came up with the names for groups of animals? I think I read a riddle once about a Murder... |

| I was thinking that pod was either Whale or Dolphin...couldn't remember...And I knew murder. Speaking of birds, did anyone know that starlings' poop can peal paint off your car  or so I've heard. |

| Easy because we just did this random thing in school where we got 4 pages of what a group of different types of animals were called. I guess paying attention pays off. |

| A Crash of kids attended an Exaltation of church goers. An unruly Mob met them after service with a want to Murder the wig wearing members of Parliament. Like two peas in a Pod, Beth and Mike were playing hooky and had gone fishing in Puget Sounder Washington. Who needs Education, religion or politics when they have each other?  |

| pretty good. i knew crash, murder, and parliment. although, i don't think this should be in the teaser catigory, it's not a teaser; you can't figure it out...  it's cool buy should be in a diferent catigory. at least thats my two cents... |

| For teasers of this sort, Braingle has developed the Trivia category. That means this IS the right place for it, since it doesn't imply common knowledge but, a bit of research. You will find that Google.com is a great helper when it regards trivia teasers. |

| hmm very tricky.. but i think that you shouldnt ever put those on there again.. because they are supposed to be somthing that NO ONE KNOWS... and it was challanging i give ya that...  |

Oct 06, 2005
| I knew pod but no others. Didn't look them up because I don't think that's the purpose of 'teasers'. And sad to say, I'm sure I won't remember the rest after knowing the answers. I guess I need to save my diminishing memory cells for more pertinent things. |

| Here's something interesting I learned from this teaser. There are different group names for animals depending on what 'condition' they are in; for example: you'd have a 'gaggle' of geese while they are on the ground, but a 'skein' of geese while flying, and a 'wedge' of geese while flying in formation!
Pretty neato stuff! This teaser lead to more learning than I was prepared for!! |

Oct 07, 2011
| Fun, I got most of them, but as stated in one of the older comments you either know this or you don't. Perhaps listing the groups of animals would have given people a fighting chance if they didn't already know them.
The suggestion to look them up, I too don't think is the point of the site. |

| Trivia brain teasers have some element of trivia in them, but they are not just pure trivia questions
This is the statement at the top. Can anybody tell me what part of this in not pure trivia????
This is not what I would consider a "Teaser" you either know the answer or you don't.  |

| There are multiple answers for mob and pod on many sources. Agree that this is really more in the line of trivia - you either know/remember the random lore or you do not. Since it tends to be more lore than factual knowledge, there no "figuring out" of these types of questions.
R.U.T. - random (mostly) useless trivia should be re-categorized. |
