lmurray May 27, 2007	HEN CONG MING (SOMEONE'S CATCH PHRASE) EASY BUT FUN.
anion May 27, 2007	It was easy once I realized what to do. But I enjoyed it lots. Way to go!!!
puttumup May 27, 2007	thumbs up.....very well written out.. not to easy had to do a little thinling.. until the wife came in and said oh and gave the answer away..lol..
Stupidenator May 27, 2007	Too hard...
tick May 27, 2007	Silly me, I was thinking of an individual answer, not a group with a common answer, lol! Very god teaser, enjoyed!
bradon182001 May 27, 2007	I needed the hint, but then I got them all. Good teaser.
phyllisa May 27, 2007	Wonderful teaser, I loved it
hockeyfan94 May 27, 2007	needed hint btw, clever belongs to me and only me! Wahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! (evil laugh scares self) (laughs at self crying because of scaring self) ( afraid of self laughing) ( laughs at self for crying and scaring self) (scares self by laughing) . . .
I_Write_Books May 27, 2007	I'm impressed. I needed the hint to figure it out, but I thought it was a great idea for a teaser!
auntiesis May 27, 2007	Brain is not working this noon. I can't say it's too early, I'm just not on the ball today.
pat56 May 27, 2007	I KNEW IT WAS FAMOUS MEN,BUT I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT PRESIDENT'S.LOL
Hummingbird1 May 27, 2007	Wow! Good one, and well, it was... Clever
craniac May 27, 2007	Was about to look at the hint when I noticed Woodrow Wilson (probably the easiest one), and that gave the whole game away. Very clever and fun, though.
2ndhandrose May 27, 2007	Good Idea. Got Answer. Thanx, too tired to write more
ks_tornado39 May 27, 2007	Ha! got it without looking at the hint. Very good, keep them coming!
GrandmaB May 27, 2007	It seemed impossibly difficult at first. Then pronouncing "wren,war" as "Renoir" got me off to thinking about artists, then saying each aloud and backward to "Warren"....and the jig was up! Nicely conceived puzzle!
hunny_bunny May 27, 2007	I LOVED it!! i would have never came up with that!!! that is sooooo cool!
teri12265 May 27, 2007	Almost had me. At first I was stumped, nearly gave up, but then I figured you hid within and started saying them out loud, moving one letter at a time. Once I got Truman, it was like "DUH!!!". Thanks. I was starting to doze off there and you awoke the brain cells.
breathesunshine May 27, 2007	Wow, I couldn't figure out how to do this one at all, even with the hint. As soon as I read the first couple of answers though I couldn't believe that I had missed it!!! Good teaser!
oddrey May 28, 2007	The hint through me off. When i thought of a harry true man I Immeidatel thought of Abraham Licoln who had facial hare and was an honest guy. So i came to the conclusion that all of the things described Lincoln in some way or another. Oh well, I loved it anyway.
muffinbrittney May 28, 2007	What a Fun way to help with remembering the presidents. Great one!
speedqueenkmw May 28, 2007	whoo hoo got it!! and enjoyed it!
Yorkshire-Boy May 29, 2007	that was ok...your pronunciation would have to be appaling to get #4 though..you list us...
cheeny13 May 29, 2007	Very interesting and fun teaser! Pretty easy though but still a very good one!!
tonjawithaj May 29, 2007	Very clever!
teemamas111 Jun 05, 2007	It was a nicee one
bradon182001 May 29, 2010	Really good teaser. One of my favs.
doehead May 29, 2010	Ho Hum, another old repeat.
wordmama May 29, 2010	grrr, doehead--I'd never seen it before! Before that detour, I was going to say: I never looked at the hint or even the answer b/c it was easy-peasy but way fun! I got it from yard rich, son nick, and the rest fell quickly into place. Very enjoyable; congrats!!
coinjar876 May 29, 2010	I got it w/ the hint. Clever
