jennsingergirl May 01, 2008	This is super cute! Good job!
zaya May 01, 2008	Sorry, just too simple. At least warn us that a teaser is aimed at 1st/2nd graders so I can save my time.
pMad May 01, 2008	zaya, how about warning us that you're a douche bag in advance.
facr_1 May 01, 2008	Easy after I figured out what the instructions meant.
AuthenticallyMe May 01, 2008	Nice teaser... Got all of them right away... fun for a quick 30-second teaser when you have a pile of other stuff to do. And for all those people who say it was too easy and a waste of time, you should HAVE KNOWN there are only nine (or 8, if made recently) options for this teaser. And since you're just trying to find the words in the sentences, you should HAVE KNOWN that this is an easy teaser for you. So, a warning is unecessary.
mimi0015 May 01, 2008	i actually enjoyed this
SydneyBlake008 May 01, 2008	Very good...but I was looking for the wrong thing. I thought the phrases were clues to what the planets were...for example, the "'...arsenic is poisonous...'" one, I thought it would be Venus, as it is filled with poisonous gases. Anyway, good job!
bluefever101 May 01, 2008	easy, but FUN!!!
nerdyiscool May 01, 2008	I liked this one! Got em all except 2.
martinb216 May 01, 2008	Agreewith bluefever101 - enjoyed it tho
jcann May 01, 2008	I'm not a youngster, but it made me look a little while. Doehead, how come when you can get a teaser you complain about it being too easy or for youngsters, and when you don't get it you say it's way out there (or something like that) or the directions weren't clear? You seem very hard to please. I'd like to see you have more fun!
SpiritoftheWind Jun 27, 2008	At least they didn't use the no longer planet (Pluto)
TallTimber Feb 08, 2010	Nice teaser.
