Way too easy. got all in seconds
Right down my alley Sarge. Loved it and got every one right. You must be close to getting old like me. No, not really Great teaser.
Easy Fun teaser. Was able to answer the questions without unscrambling the names.
Fun teaser, had to think about each one and that's the object of this site. Thanks for posting.
That was a good one. I got all except 4. It made me think
I liked this Sgt Made me think a bit and was a clever sort of puzzle
One of your easiest Sarge. The clue was totally unnecessary. Fun though
I got them all except Ray Charles. I knew it was Ray somebody but I had a brain fart. Good teaser simple and fun.
Good one! Got them all except for Ray Charles - didn't know he had parkinsins. (sorry for the spelling) I thought Ali had this disease.
This type of teaser is good for a family site - cause all ages can enjoy it. Thanks and I hope you do more!

Way to easy.No challenge Nuf said.
Nice teaser, but a little too easy.
Great quiz, I loved it
Had very little trouble unscrambling the letters, but the second part made it very easy. Thanks Sarge. We miss you.
Fun teaser
Great one Sarge!
That was fun and different
Great teaser idea, but could it have been any easier??? Did you really think we needed the hint? Disappointing execution.
That was great, thanks!
Quite the challenge
I only got 3 but gave up early. I
didn't find it super easy at all I liked it, just right

Geeze, Zaya! Takin' quiz critique lessons for Idol's Simon??? Give a rest! It was a fun quiz!
LOVED IT!
That was fun Sarge ... thanks.
Hey snowmonster ... check your answers ... Ray Charles was not a "boastful boxer who had parkinsons."

I got them all right. I was around for all of those occasions. Thanks for the great teaser.

Loved it.
For what it's worth, Simon's the only judge worth a damn on that show. How do we get better teasers if we don't give honest feedback?
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed this.
i hated it
I had a lot of fun figuring these out! Nice job!
It's not EETASLB, it's HET EETASLB.
Challenging, good and fun! A category for everyone!
I didn't know all the facts but unscrambled all the names anyway. Liked it!
Easier than unscrambling an egg.
I agree with cutebug. It was very eaay. I looked at the hint after I solved it and am glad I hadn't checked before hand, if the original clues didn't give it away, the hints sure did!
Jack F. If you are reading this I see you mentioned your bald head a day or two ago. This is what I have heard. "God only made a few perfect heads. The rest he put hair on. Hope that helps.
Good mix of trivia and anagrams.
A bit easy (at least for me), but fun and interesting. I liked the mix of puzzles.
Easy teasy for us old geezers who remember these people.
Nice one! Got them fairly easy, but still had fun with them.
