Sneakattack Apr 25, 2010	This teaser was very interesting, I must say, but it was very difficult. I look forward to seeing more of these benevolent brainteasers.
jimbooth019 May 24, 2010	That was a fun teaser. I found it fairly easy - at least I got all of them without the hint. Thanks!
builder May 24, 2010	interesting, #2 gave me pause for a moment but was easy overall
doehead May 24, 2010	After 3 weeks on vacation, I needed a extremely easy teaser to get me back in the grind. This one fit the bill.
jcann May 24, 2010	I liked this teaser as I had never seen one like it before. I needed the hint for #1, but I got the rest on my own--needed to think just enough for a Monday morning!
patiencewithaP May 24, 2010	#4 got me Well thought out!
auntiesis May 24, 2010	I didn't get the one with the horse movement, but the rest were doable without the hint. Thanks for a good one.
precious1026 May 24, 2010	I love this Teaser. I like all Language Teasers I am realizing. I just don't have the patient to figure the problem out completely. I'll get one part correct and give up on the second part. Math is the only subject that gives partial credit. Good Teaser, very well done...
cutieluck May 24, 2010	It was pretty good I got it all correct
