i loved it . this is my favorite kind of teaser . hard enough to make it interesting but not enough to make me cry !
Very niced I loved it! I got most of them right to. Not bad for a long day I guess. Great teaser.
very good, and alot of fun to solve
I like these too. Thanks. Just one suggestion for this one - I think for the first answer "Confirmation" would be better than "Conformation".
Fun and entertaining teaser. I got six out of seven. I got geography instead of geographic - I guess I just do not know my suffixes. I agree with the previous commenter that #1 should have been "confirmation" which works better with the pronunciation.
