Montie317 Nov 15, 2007	I'm sorry, but that is not a very good teaser at all. Better luck next time.
rt1819 Nov 15, 2007	Way to easy. Sorry but everyone knows that! This is not a teaser, it does not challenge at all.
lastlyboo Nov 15, 2007	SO sorry. But I have a list of reason why this cant be a good teaser. 1) Mouth blown baloons DO float a little 2) who would know that unless they are in mmiddle school? There are more, but you get my point. Good luck next time.
Fire_Shell96 Nov 15, 2007	Srry, I didn't take much time in making this teaser, so i understand yoru objections.
jsdodgers Nov 15, 2007	WAY too easy. sorry, not good
Quickq Nov 20, 2007	Too easy.As everybody else said. Most balloons don't float anyway. Anyone could have guessed that. But it isn't too bad.I've read much worse.

EvilMonkeySpy3 Dec 17, 2007	a few things. first, you have to give the creator some slack! the difficulty rating WAS on the label thingy. second, and this is directed to lastlyboo, i knew mouth blown balloons didnt float when i was in first grade, so do not say that only middle school students could get that. sorry if it seems offensive (which im trying not to be) but its true
