Good work Jazz. Fun and easy
It is late at night and I am drowsy, but I managed to get two of them. The last two. Good teaser.
I see I have already done this one. Missed the same one as before. At least I didn't do any worse.
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser; I got all four of them very quickly. Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Brainglers.
I didn't remember it at all, but apparently I gave it a high fun rating last time. I agree with that now! Got them all, but they weren't easy. Nice one!
