cnmne Oct 14, 2004	#1 - I find it hard to believe that this teaser is legitimately easy (a 1.52 difficulty at the time of this post). #2 - I figured that they must be acronyms. I concluded that "NYT" did not belong, because it was the only one that I could figure out. #3 - I hope that the comment immediately preceeding is deleted for inappropriate content. I believe that that person needs to spend some time reading the Bible instead of using language that is more appropriate for a cesspool.
Fhqwhgads Oct 23, 2004	no number 3 doesnt belong becuase it has 4 letters and the rest have 3!
Tongue-Twister Oct 30, 2004	I'm sorry, but I didn't enjoy that teaser. That was more of a Cryptography teaser than anything.
bluetwo Nov 16, 2004	it would be a cryptogram if the clues were some sort of code or encoded text. in fact, they are merely abbreviations. this is a good trivia question.
doggyxp Nov 29, 2004	The only acronym I know for bibles is JPS (Jewish Publication Society), and that one is extremely common/popular with people I know/my school.
swordflame Dec 17, 2004	Excellent teaser.
BookladyOH Dec 21, 2004	I am a Bible-reading Catholic and managed a Catholic bookstore, so I am familiar with many versions of the Bible. It was a pleasure to see your teaser, thoughtful and fun! Thanks

norcekri May 21, 2005	Most of these are abbreviations, not acronyms. Please look up the difference before you use the term again. Other than that, I liked the puzzle; thanks!
sweetime Jun 15, 2005	I'm with Fhqwhgads - four letters rather than three letters... so this is what happens when you're an atheist, you miss out on getting teasers correct 'coz you don't know your bibles...
smarty_blondy Oct 01, 2005	Needles to say i had absolutely no idea. But, i'm glad i learned something. Keep them coming.
