bradon182001 May 04, 2009	Very good teaser. Made me really think to come up with the right answers. Thanks for posting,
mepapa May 04, 2009	um... tigercat? well it was a good quiz up till then. keep posting
dodgerh8ter May 04, 2009	I liked it.
monkey289 May 04, 2009	I thought by precedes or follows it meant comes next in the list but I guess it doesn't make sense to precede a list... great teaser anyway!
here2 May 04, 2009	I got a couple of them. I much enjoyed this brain teaser. Keep them coming.
jaycr May 06, 2012	I didn't do so good. Thanks for the challenge.
Babe May 06, 2012	I did not do good either. I did not understand what we were to do until I saw the answers. It was a good one had I known what to do. Glad you all had brains and they were working well
lukasiwicz May 06, 2012	mepapa, I'm not sure what your comment means. "Tiger cat" is a perfectly good, and not uncommon, expression in American English, where it refers to a domestic feline with tiger-like markings. Just because YOU are unfamiliar with a term, doesn't mean the term has no legitimate existence.
HABS2933 May 06, 2012	I enjoyed it, much like the game of Tribond, but more involved. I would have to concur that Tigercat is valid. It is also the name of the CFL team from Hamilton.
auntiesis May 06, 2012	Made me think, but not impossible.
eamon May 06, 2012	Even after getting the bonus set and figuring which word to eliminate from three, I still had trouble getting that one. got my mind on -case and ice- but couldn't get the one right word.
dsjt May 07, 2012	Figured out the bonus after getting the "maid" row. Which made me think of POLE CAT instead of TIGER CAT. But I eventually sorted things out.
