| I agree -- I thought that this was 'the end of the century.' A good teaser, but with many reasonable answers. |

| C = 100, and ENTURY = years
C + ENTURY = 100 years |

| CENTURY means 100 years, a long time. and ENTURY doesn't have the letter C which sounds like SEE. hence, long time no see. |

| the answer is obviously long time no see.
Century is a long time, and if you take the C away then there is no C so it's long time no see |

| I thought it was going to be something like 0 because century is 100, but subtract C which means 100, and you would have nothing. Clever. |

| At first i didnt get it even tho ive heard it a thousand times i got after a while.
A century is a long time and theres no c in entury
I also thought it was the end of the century |

Jul 15, 2006
| OMG, THAT WAS SO GOOD IM LIKE STILL FREAKING OUT HERE!!!!!!!!!!
at first, i went with the obvious answer, "entry"
but then i started to think "T in ENURY? R in ENTUY? U in ENTRY?"
and i still couldnt figure it out!
THAT WAS SOOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!!!! |

| A good one, but I got ZERO.
Century = 100
C = 100
ENTURY = Century (100) - C (100) = Zero! |

| BAD. Does not make common sense I agree the answer is ZERO. |

| Good rebus. I didn't get it, but after reading the answer, it makes perfect sense. Thanks for posting. |

| That was really good. A lol moment when I saw the answer. I too got hung up on the obvious. |
Musikman212
Sep 21, 2008
| To everyone who thought the answer was end of the century or Zero: You're missing the point of a rebus. They are generally a play on words, thus long time no see fits much more perfectly than the other answers. |

| Very nice, but I have to say I thought this one was a groaner too!! |

| Ha! That was a good one! I didn't get it, and I suspect that is also why some of these people didn't like it |
ttam007
Sep 21, 2008
| I thought it should be "zero" C is the roman numeral for 100 and a century is 100 years. So a century (100) minus C (100) is 0. |

| That was an AWESOMER teaser!! I didn't get it, so you can join the club of the geccco stumpers (not very exclusive, its comprised of just about everyone, even me!) anyway luved the teaser, and am adding it to my faves! |

Okay, well, I thought it had to do something with entry at 1st, too. But right when I clicked the "answer" link, I thought it might have something to do with century. Good one! |

| I wasn't thinking of century at all. I was trying to make a saying out of U in entry. You in entry. Like you are a shoe-in. Only something that followed the hint a little better. And I just couldn't get away from that.
I completely missed this one...so I didn't like it... |

| I didn't realize that it was century without a c. How foolish of me. |

Sep 22, 2008
| It could also be
"the latter part of the century"
Turn of the century would be something like...
C
E
N
TURY |
auntiesis
Sep 22, 2008
| I too got Century, without the C, but I still didn't come up with the right answer.  |
scallio
Sep 24, 2008
| I too was too quick and guessed END OF THE CENTURY, but of course, long time no C is much better!
It's a very clever rebus... loved it!
By the way, the answer ZERO takes some great thinking...
very impressed by this:
JoradZero:
I got ZERO.
Century = 100
C = 100
ENTURY = Century (100) - C (100) = Zero! |
gaylewolf
Sep 21, 2011
| Like a few others, I got "end of a century" and thought "zero" but that didn't seem very clever or funny. Long time no see is a better answer, but I wouldn't have come up with that one! Hope my friends - the gentleman and the "girl" - have a wonderful day!! |
HABS2933
Sep 21, 2011
| Great teaser, unfortunately, I also started out on the "entry" line of thinking, and made my way to zero. I didn't spend a lot of time on it as rebuses are not my favorite puzzle, but doubt I would have ever come up with that answer even if I had a century to do it. |
doehead
Sep 21, 2011
| AWOR The reason I didn't comment on this before is I felt it wasn't worthy of a comment and I'm sorry but I still think it was bad.  And a to guess who. |
eamon
Sep 21, 2011
| "End of the century" made enough sense to me and the stated answer requires an intermediate leap of logic which is not traditional for these.
If you allow for reaches of logic like that, you could also get "my car didn't start" from the name of the Buick model Century - missing the start of its name.
A tiny bit of a cheat in my opinion. Not quite in the spirit of the game. |
