A two hundred dollar purchase
With a twenty-five dollar rent,
Until you have all four of us,
Then an even return you'll get.

One is next to Illinois,
And one borders Virginia.
One has no state name next to it,
The fourth's near Pennsylvania

What are we?

goggy12 Jul 02, 2007	that was very creative
cooltigerr1 Jul 02, 2007	haha i didnt get it right. and u have a perfect title
leftclick Jul 02, 2007	Nice teaser, apart from being obviously US-centric. The answer should really say "...from the US version of Monopoly"
Harmony_Girl Jul 02, 2007	Fun teaser! I agree with cooltigerr1, the title rocks!
Dontrelle Jul 02, 2007	Ah! I never would've guessed. Great teaser!
Xpurrt Jul 02, 2007	That was funny
vikingboy Jul 02, 2007	loved it...took me a minute, but I did get it. What do the foreign versions use in place of the RR's?
menz Jul 02, 2007	I never thought about the fact that a non-U.S. version of Monopoly would have different names for the spaces on Monopoly.....I'll remember that for future teasers (those teasers probably won't center around Monopoly, though!)
GebbieRose Jul 03, 2007	Nice teaser!
cashewnut801 Jul 03, 2007	Cool, but very easy!
grilledcheese Jul 03, 2007	i got it after i thought about it for a bit. nice one
happyhak Jul 04, 2007	weird but still...
Hadleigh Jul 06, 2007	The english versions has the following railway stations:- Fenchurch St Marylebone Kings Cross Liverpool St I knew the answer as the cost and the rent are the same
4demo Jul 16, 2007	Excellent teaser! Too bad I didn't get the answer even though I spent 2 hours playing Monopoly just yesterday...

bradon182001 Aug 03, 2007	I haven't played Momopoly in years, so that would have been the last thing I thought of. I was thinking of things like Manhattan Island, but that didn't cost $200 now that I rethink it. Good teaser.
omgitsash Aug 03, 2007	good riddle:-)

Umbri Aug 03, 2007	The title sorta gave it away
wandering_goat Aug 03, 2007	Very nice. I didn't get it and the clue didn't help at all.
jabdr Aug 03, 2007	Clever one. Knew it was Monopoly immediately, but eliminated a lot of properties before I remembered railroads.
fredhornaday Aug 03, 2007	AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! I should have gotten that! I LOVE monopoly! GREAT teaser!

mondayschild59 Aug 03, 2007	That was a great one. I really liked it alot. I hate playing monopoly because I always get beaten. This time I got one right. monday~
breathesunshine Aug 03, 2007	Hey I don't like monopoly either, probably because my older brother always beat me at it when we were kids! Fun one!
catlver713 Aug 03, 2007	that's really clever
wordmama Aug 03, 2007	I'm usually awful at riddles, but this one I got at the 2nd read-through--no hint, never even looked at the answer!!! For people who complain 'too easy', I, for one, happen to enjoy getting one once in a while!!
jabdr Aug 04, 2007	Amen, wordmama
wordmama Aug 05, 2007	Thank you, jabdr!!
dani4w45t Aug 03, 2010	That was really, really good! One of the best I've seen. I couldn't figure it out until I saw the hint, coupled with the title. Keep 'em coming!
beyonce123 Aug 03, 2010	I love the title
doehead Aug 03, 2010	Since this is nothing but an every two to three year repeat program, it is time to say goodbye.
patiencewithaP Aug 03, 2010	Easy, fun and well written!
VitalStatistic Aug 03, 2010	Very nice. I picked it was Monopoly straight away, but no idea about US towns.
auntiesis Aug 04, 2010	Good-bye, Doehead. I didn't get this one the first time, and I didn't get it this time either. My memory is so bad I would probably not get it if it were re-run tomorrow.
