| The only Braingle teaser for which I did not have a clue. Glad I did not spend much time on it. Had a feeling I would not get it. I will label this one a learning teaser. Hope it helps expand my thinking and approaches to future problems. Excellent.  |

| Ouch! It just occurred to me while working another logic teaser that the title of this one included the word "grid." That should have given it away -- at least in retrospect. In fact, I initially questioned why this teaser was in the logic category, when it appeared to be better suited for cryptography. |
haldir
Aug 27, 2005
| Yes apparently the editors thought it should go in logic for some reason(but at least it got exepted) |
jennysugars
Aug 28, 2005
| Too cool!!!!! I also wondered why it was in logic and not cryptography ....but I am glad it was ACCEPTED, because I added it to my favorites! (Had to include a correction for your spelling error...comes with being a teacher!) |

| Toooooooooo cooooooooool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I got it!!! but....only after reading the hint... oh well. Goin into my favs..to be honest I wouldn't have liked it as much if I hadn't gotten it, but then it would be a challenge. either ways fun! okay I'll stop rambling on and on and on and on, oops almost did it again!  |

shawneeo
Nov 21, 2005
| Gosh!!! I was thinking "This was waaaay too easy, you should have made it harder somehow...", until I read the other comments! To me, cap lock was all I had to see, because where else is there a caplock? Also, I admit, there was a harder(for me) teaser a while back that made riddles out of the symbols on the number keys, so I was familiar with the idea of using the keyboard for a code. But good work, apparently this was hard for most of us. Thanks! |

Mythril
Nov 21, 2005
| Heh, well I got it right away, but I suspect it's because I've done another puzzle involving the keyboard before... 
Also, the question mark isn't placed the same place on my keyboard (Norwegian laptop keyboard), but since the rest of the sentence is still correct, it wasn't that much of a problem. |
amyu05
Nov 21, 2005
| Wow...I could'nt even get my locker combanition at school... anyway that was wicked hard and fun all at the same time Great one haldir!!! Snaps for you (snap snap) |
soccercow10
Nov 21, 2005
| Well when i read the title (after i looked at the answer)then i thought it would have been easier
great one but what about shift 10?
how would 10 work?!?!?! |
chrissydaze
Nov 21, 2005
| I didn't get it, just did not understand |

mekaboo27
Nov 21, 2005
| haldir, this was a nice teaser. I got it right was because all I do is sit in front of a computer all day and I get bored and make up things and this was something I had done a long time ago. I liked it and hope to see more like them. |

| um, I'm confused? I knew when it said logic that I would be lost! I will put this in my favorites and continue to remain lost! Good teaser tho...I think? |
bob_the_mang_o
Nov 21, 2005
| I got it really quickly!
First I looked at my keyboard and hit shift and caps the number of times, then thought that was dumb and started counting keys!!
Nice one though, I appreciate having a few I actually get once in a while... |
darylmuromoto
Nov 21, 2005
| This is the first Braingle that I have felt compelled to comment on: Very nicely done! |
jovichic86
Nov 21, 2005
| You are assuming that the viewers have the same keyboard as you do. On my laptop, I found 4 definate letters. Otherwise, it lined up between two letters, or no letter at all. Also, the Shift 10 clue is not possible as there are no keyboards with the number 10 on them.
Try being a little more versatile next teaser. |
psycheistra
Nov 21, 2005
| I definitely like the idea of it, but none of my letters matched up the same way yours did. I must have a very different keyboard? |
queenbee53
Nov 21, 2005
| You don't push shift then "10". You start at shift then count over 10 keys to get to the ?. This is pretty clever...of course I couldn't get it without looking at the answer.... |
christine77
Nov 21, 2005
| I thought this was cute. I was stumped. Its amazing how people react, some think others should get it because they did, and others are amazed how others got it...wow. Oh well, for whatever reason people leave the negative comments is beyond me. Most likely because they didnt get it, and probably still dont. Anyway, I thought it was very good, I tried for once and still didnt get it....I had fun with this one. Great job! |
smarty_blondy
Nov 21, 2005
| Brilliant, which a glitch. This only works when regarding a QWERTY keyboard. All in all i love it, very good concept. |
jimbo46
Nov 21, 2005
| Didn't even come close to getting it; never occurred to me to use the keyboard as a grid. The hint made no sense at all. Even after I saw the answer, I still was lost for a while. Shift 10 made no sense at all; should have been shift 0. Need better clues for us dummies.

mekaboo27
Nov 21, 2005
| Hey jimbo, someone already told those who did not understand about the shift 10, you look at the shift button then count over ten when you do that you will get to the key that has the(?) on it which completes the sentence CAN YOU READ THIS? |
mekaboo27
Nov 21, 2005
| And for those who say that there are 2 shift keys that is true, but do you read from left to right or right to left? When you read anything you always start from the left then go right. So when doing teaser such as this one keep that in mind and the answer should come to you with out a problem. |

| Funny how different people think in such vastly different ways. I thought this puzzle was the easiest I had seen until I started reading the comments and realized it stumped a bunch of people. But then, there have been hundreds of times when I couldn't come close to solving one and all the comments said "too easy." Good one! Thanks! |

| I'm just glad you stopped responding to every message Haldir. Makes you look a bit
self-conscious. You shouldn't be because you did well. |
wizkid
Nov 21, 2005
| Yes I can spell this. T. H. I. S. just kidding. This is difficult for me to do because my keyboard is not a standard keyboard. It is fit to fit your wrist and is almost kinda split. Sorry if I don't make sense. But cool teaser. |
lindquist_25
Nov 21, 2005
| Well smart one, there are two shift keys!  |
dodger
Nov 21, 2005
| I got this one quickly too. I'm surprised so many of us didn't manage to work it out sooner though. It Just goes to show that what one member finds difficult, another finds easy!! Thats the beauty of Teasers i guess.........and keeps us coming back for more. I loved it. |
POPS
Nov 21, 2005
| Did not work with my keyboard????? The idea was good |
shawneeo
Nov 21, 2005
| This does NOT use the keyboard as a GRID! That's why some of you are either confused or say it doesn't work right. You simply count over the number of keys from the first key, that's all. I don't know why anyone called it a grid, that just made it too confusing. |
hidentreasure
Nov 21, 2005
| and the key was right there to. But it was fun. |
medster99

| it does NOT work if u keyboard is not straight. my keyboard is offset |
carissker9
Nov 21, 2005
| that was sweet! of course i didn't get it but thats the fun of it!!!!!!!!! |
kimberlykay
Nov 21, 2005
| shawneeo....the answer clearly states "Use your keyboard like a grid." I think the confusion is due the the difference in the types of keyboards and not due to the reference of using it as a grid. |
jcann
Nov 21, 2005
| I thought this was fun. It's the first one like it since I became a visitor to this site. I had to get the hint first, but then I knew what to do right away. |

foreverfree
Nov 21, 2005
| wow, cool one. i got it right away when i read the hint. keep em coming!!! |
shawneeo
Nov 21, 2005
| Kim: I know the answer says that, but what Im trying to say is, that's not necessary to think of it as a grid, and it causes more confusion than its worth. Because the keys arent lined up straight. All you have to do is count from the first key over the given number of spaces. OK? |

| this is for auntiesis - if you come back and look at the comments.
first one: Shift 3 -
look at the shift line - count over 3 = letter C
next, CapsLock 1 = a,
and so one
It was a terrific teaser, I didn't get it either. But I'd love to see another one because I love a challenge! |
