2. Justin Glen loved the cupcakes baked by his mother, the doctor.
3. The scarf was made by the editor, while the mittens were made by the programmer.

dragonfantasy Dec 21, 2005	very good teaser....well written and solvable...made me think a little
miyukina Dec 21, 2005	too easy...but good...at 1st this teaser exuded a 'toughie' impression, with a mere number of 6 clues, but it's just too much condensing done to my liking...mb u could use more -ve statements in the future? but why not, rite? not that NOTs don't create pretty little knots on our brain's nerve's terminals, coz they do...
chaskey Dec 22, 2005	Just right! Enjoyable, and not too easy. Exactly the way I like them!
gaiapeach1 Dec 22, 2005	I loved it, thank you.
mejoza Dec 22, 2005	Fun.. lots of "postives" so not so much elimination, but still fun. I liked that all these women have really powerful jobs, but I don't know about the knitting and the baking (ha!)
sundaisy227 Dec 28, 2005	enjoyed it!!
WJSMama Jan 02, 2006	good one
harleychik027 Jan 06, 2006	Try Doing this puzzle while watching Cops.It doesn't work out well... ...I had to cheat and look at the first two answers.ME!
roscoep Jan 23, 2006	Not bad. A little too easy as no deduction was necessary.
vancon Feb 08, 2006	like doing your teasers so much I looked back to find some older ones you did. This one was easy (or Im just getting better) and I loved it as usual. Thanks again!
Winner4600 Feb 08, 2006	thanks, vancon!
HogwartsGirl05 Mar 08, 2006	Another great teaser!!!
4demo Sep 15, 2007	I got about 95% of it before realizing I'd make a mistake (along the lines of x went with y and y went with z, but x didn't go with z). Turned out I got two names mixed up. Everything else was right though. Good teaser - very well-written and fun!
dreamlvr1432 Nov 09, 2007	great teaser! Not too tough, but made ya think just enough. Of course, I didn't pay attention and marked the wrong square with an X when it should have been the one below it....oops. That's what I get for rushing.
