Bastet Mar 09, 2010	Very easy, but enjoyable. I didn't need the hints and didn't even notice until after I solved all of them that the title itself is a hint.

HABS2933 Mar 09, 2013	Another great teaser Marc. Got them all, pretty easy but lots of fun. Gayle - though I know the message was not intended for me and I don't have a clue where "Grand Blanc" is, I do in fact live very close. Grand Blanc translates as "Great White", which is of course how Canada is known - "The Great White North". *And yes I know it could also be translated as "Big White". (I'm after all Canadian - I speak French)
Maggiethe8th Mar 09, 2013	'twas fun! missed only char/m, and got some rid of some foggy brain!
iggy39 Mar 09, 2013	Had fun thought it was very easy but not that easy that it didn't make my brain work.
hermygranger123 Mar 09, 2013	Fun! After I saw the hint, it was easy.
thecatladycac Mar 10, 2013	Had to come back to number 1 and think about it some more before I figured it out. - Got the rest right off! Really fun teaser!
