Great job. Enjoyed this teaser. Keep up the good work
This was harder than it first appeared. Reading the previous comments, this was your first teaser Brainster---Good job. Thanks for posting.
Now that is a good workout for the brain.Great teaser.
I compliment you on a good teaser, but not for using compliment for complement.
I got 2 completely correct . . . and half of 3 more. A great teaser!!!
Are court and date synonyms?
Too early...
As a cook , I should have gotten #3, but that was the one I missed.
Hey now! That was different, and just difficult enough that I missed a couple I liked it.
Good Job on a First "Good" Teaser!

Sorry 2nd posting.
I think COURT & DATE Are close
enough.
When you date somebody you
are courting them. Anyone else on this? Someone asked.
Thanks Rose

good one! i only got 3 of 6.
That was great, though I missed 4 and 6. Court and Date makes sense to me though.
I misunderstood the directions so I didn't get any. When I saw the answers and reread the instructions I had a "doh!" moment! Would love to see another one like this so I could actually try it!!
I'm with you breathesunshine ... got off on the wrong foot and got stumped.
Good teaser brainster ... next time I'll be ready for ya.

Very well written ...good job . Let's see more .
That was fun! Give us more, please!
I missed this one.Oh,well.
Thank you for all the positive and encouraging comments. Glad everyone enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed creating it!
Good one! Really got me thinking, although I only got 1, 2 & 4. For 5 I got bill & pay but knew it was wrong as it didn't fit the instructions of the teaser!
A good, enjoyable mental workout, more difficult than it at first appeared. My only quibble is I think when you wrote "compliment," you meant "complement."
I liked this one! For # 4 I got
"Hall and "Haul" It worked also.
"Hall and "Haul" It worked also.
Hall and Haul make sense in the sentence, but are not synonyms, they are homophones (two words said the same way but with different spellings and meanings.
Nice way to wake my brain up. Took awhile, but I got them all.
Wrong guesses:
3. The cook used the largest BOWL to make a stew for the full compliment of the DISH.
4. They agreed to meet outside the COURT of justice for their FORUM.
5. I know you will REIMBURSE me for this purchase, I cannot PAY you.
6. The NUMBER of bids for the COUNT of Eros was unparalleled.

How are CHARGE and BLAME connected? The others made sense to me, but I'm not getting there with this one.
That was a fun teaser overall! I was surprised I actually got a few!

What a wonder ful teaser, and it was a first submission? Wow. Kudos to cutebug for getting all of them! These were hard. I only got half. Very clever and original (15 years ago) idea for a teaser.
Well done Brainster, for your first teaser!
Took me some time to work out exactly what was required, from then on it was all fun, thanks!
Solved most of them, although like others, had some different answers?
"Please Sir, can I have some more!"

easy
Not sure I agree with the "easy" comment above me, but at least SOMEONE else is commenting on these lately!
I got a few and missed a few. The only one I didn't like was the last one. Makes sense, but too vague to figure out. At least for me.
