I'm so HAPPY! MY first brain teaser!!! Tell me how you like it!!
Nice first teaser! A little on the easy side however! Have fun with your next one.
I know... I couldn't think of a better one... but thanx!!!
Congrats on first teaser, Alyssa! "Easy" is fine - it makes people feel smart!
thanx!!! your right!
A bit easy, but fun!
After putting the kids in order from most money wielding to least, I thought I would have to see what shoes they could purchase without going over the $72-- then I noticed if they each got a different pair (matching most expensive to Bobby, next to Mark, etc) the money would match the exact amount they had. A bit too convenient. Why does that never happen to me?!
I'm rambling... I'll quit now!
It was a great teaser!
