brainster Dec 12, 2005	Yippee! got this one too! That was fun!
zonarita Apr 11, 2006	GR8 Job CD - these are becoming a favorite of mine. Keep them coming. Nice work.
willo Oct 13, 2006	good one; nice level of difficulty
lmurray Oct 13, 2006	SINCE THE SYLLABLES IN THE SYLALIST ARE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE IN THIS TEASER, I THINK ANY 5th. 6th. GRADER COULD ANSWER THIS CORRECTLY. IF YOU WERE TO ADD A FEW EXTRA SYLLABLES OR USE THEM MORE THAN ONCE, IT WOULD ADD GREATLY TO THE LIKELIHOOD OF NOT "EVERYONE" GETTING THE ANSWER. THANKS FOR TRYING
(user deleted) Oct 13, 2006	Spelled "Arctic" wrong.
coachpisco Oct 13, 2006	IMURRAY, do you EVER smile? Oh, I enjoyed the teaser. Thanks.
FeaerFactorY666 Oct 13, 2006	nice!
schmedley9 Oct 13, 2006	That one was okay, it waas a little too easy for me but other than that, it was great. Keep up the great teasers. Love ya!!!
jaydeco Oct 13, 2006	Very good and Very clever!
nu_rob_roy Oct 13, 2006	Why does someone (guess who) who has the points, contributes nothing but petty criticism in such a rude, annoying fashion? This teaser was fun to work out. Lets see more, cdrock you did a good job, I think.
gloria-jean1234 Oct 13, 2006	Easy, but fun and suitable to share with younger people.
bradon182001 Oct 13, 2006	I found this easy also but still enjoyable. Had to think about a couple of them, so it serves the purpose of a teaser. Good job.
locutus13ds Oct 13, 2006	This was a good one, easy when you work it out,
Pizzazz2u Oct 13, 2006	The teaser was easy enough, to make it seem simple. So, the teaser is good to keep school kids busy. I will be looking for some tougher ones from you. Come on now! This IS too easy.
Trishgal Oct 13, 2006	Kept me busy. you know we are not all brainy, just because we arebrainglers we just don't want to shrivel up and die . if ithey ar ealways really hard i would get tired of trying i en joyed this teaser , thx. keep them coming.
FatHead Oct 13, 2006	The first few were WAY too easy, like #1, walrus (note the spelling). The rest only got easier. Fun, though!
easigala1981 Oct 13, 2006	Thought it was fun, got the hamster in my brain turning the wheel. Can't wait to see a teaser from (that guy) the critic, so we can give him some of his own medicine.
justhattie Oct 13, 2006	Wow! Can't believe anyone criticizes this game. Maybe they miss the point. It's a brain exerciser, and works to keep the bad goblins away. Loved this one, as words are my "hobby" and, yes, it was relatively easy, but that's a good thing! Others were right. If they were all impossible to solve, I'd quit trying. Keep up the good work!
speedqueenkmw Oct 13, 2006	I'm with you, Justhattie
Pizzazz2u Oct 13, 2006	My apologies to ALL, including the author of the teaser. Apparently, we are not allowed to give healthy criticism on a teaser, anymore. I suppose I will just back off and allow others to always give a thumbs up on ALL of these entries. Just be aware when someone enters a "teaser" asking what is 1+1+1? And everyone figures it out. And here I thought this was a brain teaser site, with people who can stand healthy criticism. It seems some people need to get thicker skin. My apologies, my dear author of this teaser and others, considering the length of time you have been with the braingle site.
4kai2lyn6 Oct 13, 2006	I agree with Imurray and pizzazz... I want a challenge. Sorry, but this teaser was just way too easy.
Qrystal Oct 13, 2006	Sure, it was pretty easy, but not on the same level as the 1+1+1 example. In fact, for a few of them, I had to move on ... I skipped 5 and 6, then went back to them. I found it fun, and quickly rewarding. No popped brain cells, but I'm behind in my daily teasers anyways, so I'm glad for it And by the way, this is why there is a rating scale. Just rate it easy. If you want hard ones, go find the ones rated hard. If you want a random sampling of all that Braingle has to offer... join us for the daily teaser, and/or hit the random button
clskitty Oct 13, 2006	This was a good one! I didn't know what to do because this is my second day on this website.
marschie Oct 13, 2006	A good, easy thinking teaser. I enjoy these and do them using elimination of the syllables until there are none left. The last word I got was ER RAND. IMURRAY is right when he talks about using syllables more than once, or having leftover, unusable syllables -- to make the teaser harder.
kaakramer Oct 13, 2006	I got this one and it was fun. Thanks for not making me think too hard on a Friday! Later
jabdr Oct 13, 2006	Too late on a Friday evening for conflict. CDrock submitted the teaser..the judges or editors accepted it...and that's way more than I've ever done. Therefore, thanks, CD for ending the week on an easy note.
Badger Oct 13, 2006	Ditto Qrystal! Couldn't have said it better! CDROCK: Thanks for submitting!
OhEmGee Oct 13, 2006	couldnt get the last two but other than that its pretty easy its refreshing to get an easy one finally thanks! i loved it
luvdoritos706 Oct 14, 2006	nice one.....i like it when their easy
RRAMMOHAN Oct 15, 2006	Yes, this was easy, but is no doubt interesting and caters to those who arent good in language teasers. However, there is a a point in what IMURRAY says: to make this harder, you can add a couple of cleverly chosen additional syllables as dummies, but then someone could come up with an objection that that makes it too difficult! Surely, one cannot satisfy all solvers' expectations! All the same, I enjoyed solving this one! Thanks.
tdbrsun Oct 16, 2006	good Job! Easy and fun
MalcolmReynolds Oct 28, 2006	Fun.
vlerma Oct 28, 2006	Thanks CDrocks - Thqa was fun. Things don't always have to be a brain buster to be entertaining. More please?
boisveb Oct 13, 2009	Hummm. Eskimo is no longer used to describe people of the north. The proper name is Inuit.
boisveb Oct 13, 2009	The Eskimo-Inuit comment above show my being canadian it seems. In Canada Inuit is preferred for sure; Seems like Eskimo is still accepted in Alaska.
brain23 Oct 13, 2009	This was a pretty fun teaser, one that I actually got. Well, I got the first three. Then it got a little tricky with the three syllables...
auntiesis Oct 13, 2009	Cute but easy. Very good job.
Jimmymo Oct 13, 2009	EZ PZ but ots o' fun. Keep these coming!!
patiencewithaP Oct 13, 2009	Fun! Thanks for posting!
Babe Oct 13, 2012	That was like so many we have had lately, but I will take it. It was fun yet t a bit easy. Someone above had to complain that they were too smart for the rest of us. That's a new twist to most complaints and made me smile!
cutebug Oct 13, 2012	Not much of a challenge
