It is very fun
I usually love this type of puzzle but I was way off this time!
Very good teaser!!!!! I really liked it.
This one took me quite awhile to solve. I enjoyed the challenge.
Intern does not mean to impound or confine, but I still got that one right!!
This one was harder than it looked at first glance. Very well done, but the inter/intern one was a little iffy.
A possible definition of intern is to confine, as said in this teaser. However, intern isn't used as widely by that definition. I would've gone for "deprive of freedom" or even something about a student. But besides that, I thought it was nice.
Not easy, but fun, thanks!
Agree with the others on "intern", but still liked it. It was hard. I didn't get them all.
