| That was well thought out, but the word "Never" should be placed under the word "Estimate" |

| I liked this teaser but I don't understand why the word "to" needs to be in there. |

| the symbol ^ is
to the power of
-2 tells you to remove the word
"to" (as previously explained) |

| Not sure about this one. I didn't get it and when I read the answer, it seemed that the explanation is more complicated than the rebus. Just my opinion, and thanks for posting. It sure got me thinking.  |

| This is a good one! I got it, but I didn't, because I couldn't figure out what the minus or negative two could mean. I understand now why it's there, but I think it would be fine without it. I think more people were thrown off by the negaative or minus two than anything else. But it's a good teaser!!!

| I guessed it right away, but I didn't think I was correct because on my computer the word "never " was after "estimate." Or am I missing something--is the slash supposed to mean "under"?
Good teaser otherwise, and a positive way to start the day! |

| If the -2 had not been given, then that old saying would read "Never underestimate to the power...etc. The -2 IS necessary. |

| Nice one, I wasn't thinking straight, so I didn't recongise that estimate/never was in fraction form. |

| Never been a rebus fan. Either you get them right away and they seem really easy (like this one), or you're stumped and they seem really hard.  |

| Wow! This has got to be one of the easiest rebuses I've ever seen. Which, of course, just goes to prove my nerdiness...
Awesome Job! Totally amazing! |

| I got the positive thinking part, but didn't get the estimate...maybe put the "never" below "estimate". Nice teaser! |

Why is the -2 there?
Not my kind of thing I guess.
Thanks Anyway.  |

| I love these kind of puzzles. I have to agree with other brainlgers, the word Never should be under the word Estimate. I thought it was Never over estimate. I also think the answer was good, clear, and precise. I like that. |

| I really loved the - 2 at the end. So many Rebuses are close but you have to guess. This one is perfect. Great |

| For those who don't understand:
"estimate/never" means estimate divided by never which means that the never is under the estimate.
So far that means we have "never underestimate". Then that's "to the power of positive thinking"
So we have "never underestimate to the power of positive thinking"
You then take the 2 ('to') away to get
"never underestimate the power of positive thinking"
I think it's brilliant |

| I consider the '- 2' to be unnecessary for the following reasons: I've never read a division statement as 'denominator under numerator' and I rarely ever read the positive sign outloud. If you are going to stretch the mathmatical terminology to get those two parts, why is it necessary then to be strict on the terminology for 'to the power of' but still not account for the fact that some people, like me, can also read it as 'raised to the power of'? |

| the "-2" is not necessary, if it is then there should have been a "-raised" as well.. |
