yea first to comment! this was cute, it was pretty easy though. i still liked it. Good job!
Cute! But you forgot about Bob's feet. Wouldn't that make 26?
Very cute and easy, just the way I like 'em! Great teaser!
That is so funny! I should have paid closer attention to the category of this teaser.
one of the few tricks that actually got me ( and the oldest one in the book!)
Nice job KK! Sorta easy, but still fun! I liked it! More please!
ooh! I missed that darn it ! Good job
good one! i got it right away! but then i thought about his feet too, cuz he would be working with those!
WOW! I just got home from South Padre and found that my teaser was approved...YIPPEE! Not only that, I got some very nice compliments...thanks so much to all of you.
it is 26 feet because bob has two feet plus the dogs!
I guess I will comment on this, since two people have mentioned it. The answer is 24 feet and not 26 because Bob was "working" with the dog's feet and not his own.
haha! i got that one after reading the first sentence! i feel smart for once!!!!!!! but i thought it would be 26!
Cool!
Cool!
In the trick category, never ever try to figure it out with a pencil and paper. learned from experience...
another dog-gone good teaser
i didnt get it
I got it, good one KK
Thanks Mags and QM!
It was good but technically the guy was only workin ON two feet cause he only has two feet........
"Technically", I said working "with" not working "on", but thanks for the input.
soo cute.keep em coming!
Good One. Very Tricky
A thought-provokingly clever teaser. Well written. I had fortunately caught your phrasing, but was still unsure of *his feet*. So, I missed the correct answer. Keep up the brilliant work.
Thanks Pizzazz. I hope to see some teasers from you in the future as well!
Started the math as I have to kennel my dogs occassionally, but then! Trick! Good ONE!

Good Job! You almost got me.

haha
Good teaser!
this.. i got, but only after(and immediately after) i clicked on the show answer link...
i got it on last minute...
i got it on last minute...
Bob has 2 feet as well. And please stop with the "paws are not feet" malarky. ALL paws are feet, but not all feet are paws. Check the synonyms for paws in the thesaurus.
I got 26 too, because I was counting Bob's feet. Unless he is an amputee, he is working with these two feet too.
How many feet will HE be working with - he will be working the dogs - not his own feet!
Too lazy to do the math- o my gosh 6 times 4 soo hard! but I got it and I liked it. Good job!
I said 2 cuz of just his feet
I said two. Eh, same principal Nice one, though
I also thought 2. Good teaser.
2 (bobs feet). Dogs don't have any feet ,they have PAWS.
