| Nice teaser, added a bit of confusion when you put the term pediatric in the clues! Good thing I know what it means. 
Kind of a tricky little teaser you have here. But it was good, I liked it!  |

| Yeah, I got a bit lost. Not a great teaser for the easily confused, it's very hard. I liked it a lot, though.  |

| I was afraid this thing was going to give me a stroke! The clues look so simple, but I had to start over twice. I really enjoyed it!  |

| Great teaser! Especially good for a first one. I had to start over once, somehow I marked something wrong by mistake. I had to use pen/paper to keep some of the info straight...too much for my poor little brain to process on it's own. Hope to see more from you!  |

| Great teaser!
The difficulty was just right -- challenging without requiring great logical leaps. |
