Great teaser! This one was different, it had an evil touch to it, there should be more teasers like this one
I thought it was super hard!
It was ezzzzzzzzz! I luved it !U should do more!
Very cool. I got all messed up and backwards with "eaten ahead of" and "after" and "1st" through "5th" and had to start again >.< *feels silly* Keep them coming!

Excellent teaser. Just as great as the magazine puzzles. I look forward to more from you...
Arghhhh.. I think the logic grid confuses me. Before the logic grid, I could solve teasers of this category with harder ratings than 2.5.. (like, 3....), but I can't even get 1.5s now??? Ach!

Very creative and fun
I think this one is really hard! I couldn't figure it out, I had to cheat! Maybe I will try again another day.
I like this one! I like how you named the ants. It's cute!
Great Teaser!!
This was very good. I had to go back through the clues three times to solve. Keep it up!!!
Very cute - love the names! Great puzzle - not too easy, nor too difficult. Thanks!
Creatively written, tricky and fun..
Very clever, and the subject was really cute.
yummy i just ate an ant
great teaser! just a right mix of hardness, easiness, and ants!
Good work! I had to go through the clues 3 times to work it all out. Just the right amount of difficulty for me.
really good teaser, you are good at this
Someone should tell that aardvark that it'd be easier to cook them all at once! Good job!
Antony? Like Mark Antony? haha
Seriously? way too easy for it's rating...no thinking required.
This was a fun puzzle, and I liked the ant names, especially Ant-O'Knee (how original; how creative)! The only difficulty I had was in clue #5 where the raw ant was eaten before Ant-acid. The clue was worded in such a way that you have to assume that Ant-acid was eaten immediately after raw ant, even though the wording indicates that it could have been eaten in one of three places. Good job!
My first puzzle in braingle but it was tough i just thought making cases makes it easier Thanks mate
Lol, great puns!
