alleycat Jan 18, 2011	with the hint, I worked it out at the second clue
MysteriousLight Jan 18, 2011	The hint was mostly because the word could also be 'cost', but it isn't... So, yeah..
keke_1991 Jan 19, 2011	why i can not play any brain tesers today when i sign up on here today?? i need someone to answer my comment that i post today... thanks
thebrain789 Jan 19, 2011	I agree with MysteriousLight. The word could be "cost" just as easily as "comb."
MysteriousLight Jan 19, 2011	@keke_1991 I don't really understand your question. Are you saying that you can't play any brain teasers? If you can't, I don't know why.
NAngelaMiller Jan 20, 2011	I love these kinds of teasers
y4n4 Jan 23, 2011	hmm it was either cost or comb... i din read the hint n got it wrong =(
bradon182001 Jan 28, 2011	Well thought out teaser. Very nice. Thanks for posting.
LeFeu Feb 05, 2011	Good teaser!
0xy1 Feb 08, 2011	Nice 1!
precious1026 Feb 18, 2011	I just hate it when everyone seems to understand the answer, and I am sitting here saying. Now, how come I didn't see the answer? I saw cost, not comb...
precious1026 Feb 18, 2011	Blah!
aliceedwards Mar 21, 2011	This teaser was sooo much fun! I really liked it, you should DEFINITELY make more... Alice ;)
spikethru4 Apr 18, 2011	The teaser should be solvable without the hint.
Eldad Jul 06, 2011	Nice riddle but the riddle said the third is in "small"/i thought it would be "a" hence 'a coab'.all the same it was ok.
Jaypuzzle12 Jul 21, 2011	Good one! I didn't get it, of course. But hey, you learn something new every day!
Longhorn_fan Aug 05, 2011	I was also seeing coab, but that did not make sense. ok riddle, but not correct if you follow the pattern.
