lolerZ304 Dec 20, 2004	o ya, i got it! spanish class pays off for the 1st time...lol
Fhqwhgads Dec 20, 2004	I still dont get how this teaser got accepted when one of the things is supposed to be an n with an accent but theres like an A then a bunch of symbols.
I_am_the_Omega Dec 22, 2004	Because it's correct... Anyways, I've seen the 26 L in the A before, so I basically read this the way I would when I see an anagram i already know ;-) (meaning, it took well under 1/2 second )
BloodySunday013 Jan 08, 2005	it's an n with a tilde
Lappy486 Jan 12, 2005	Dear Fhgwhgads, Can I call you Fhgwhgads. Well Fhgwhgads, I really like your riddle. But in the time it took me to figure it out I could have done a whole bunch of stuff. Like paint a picture of a guy with a big knife....
GTregay Jan 12, 2005	This answer is incorrect. There are 30 letters in the spanish alphabet - the extras being ch ll rr and n (with a tilde)
analog_rhombus Feb 01, 2005	No, my friend. YOU are incorrect. The Spanish alphabet was amended in the 1980s. Perhaps you're using an OLD text book? Check your facts before calling someone out.
melilyn Feb 19, 2005	^ dude, chill. and I thought it was a good one. so there.
RaunchyTacos Mar 06, 2005	That was pretty tough, I haven't taken spainsh and I didn't really catch on to the question being asked but other than that, that was pretty good. :-)
suki_doll Apr 12, 2005	You suck because you DONT know the Spanish Alaphabet. It has 30 letters in it. the extras are: ch. ll, rr, ñ.
SaturnCat08 Aug 04, 2005	Good Teaser. The RR sound is also used to sound the letter combination of 'rr,' which is sometimes viewed as a separate letter of the Spanish alphabet. But I think that it is usually not in the Spanish Alphabet.I also think that it is like two letters put together to make another sound.For example: T h in the English language put together makes another sound. But are not in the English Alphabet.
Winner4600 Jan 15, 2006	Traditionally, the digraph rr was considered a separate letter, but this is no longer the case; the digraphs ch and ll have been considered separate letters since 1803 (see the DRAE for the entries on ch and ll). However, in 1994, the tenth congress of the Association of Spanish Language Academies agreed to sort ch and ll as ordinary pairs of letters by request of UNESCO and other international organizations, while keeping them as distinct letters for other purposes.
Brainy_1 Jan 16, 2006	I got the alphabet part Great teaser!
SPUTNIK2 Feb 18, 2006	thanks for the teaser, and to the person who made the comment about SPICS, well that kind of gave me a belly punch, This is a family site and your comment was really unesessary and ugly, what if my daughter would have read it?? It would have hurt her feelings... I hope someone deletes your comment then delete this one after.
PineappleMama May 30, 2006	WooHoo I finally got one!
PineappleMama May 30, 2006	FYI, that rude (racist) person hasn't logged on in 148 days, so they are probably gone for good! Keep the teasers coming!
kistin14 Jun 21, 2006	"A" with a tildilde is not a letter. The extra letters are "ch", "ll", and "N (with a tildilde (you know squiggly line))". This was my teaser!
