electronjohn Jan 20, 2003	Nice one. I was thinking teeth but alas I was not right.
something Jan 21, 2003	i thought that a chess board was the answer.
Jenna Jan 24, 2003	Exellent teaser!!!
snoopdogg May 19, 2003	very nicely phrased
harleya Jul 16, 2003	I got cox - as in a rowing boat. He will bring the two sides (of rowers) together. Note the word scream and note that the word row is used twice.
rose_rox Jul 16, 2003	Love it.
jen3030 Jul 17, 2003	Very nice! Electronjohn, I like your answer too
krishnan Jul 18, 2003	I was thinking of two chromosomes uniting.
fg_4ever Jul 23, 2003	Very cool!! (But the word zipper reminds me of my favorite jeans i can't fit into!!!!)
tissue Aug 13, 2004	Heh, geez Krishnan. I came up with a Chess board as well. It doesn't fit as well as a zipper does however.
Rashad Aug 14, 2004	Nice!!! I like it .
horse_luver Aug 21, 2004	I also thought teeth. Neat teaser!
cnmne Dec 03, 2004	Nicely done.
tiptoes007berbs Feb 08, 2005	Wow! That was a good one! Thanks!
Aminto Feb 03, 2011	I thought it was 2 rows of dominoes. Zipper's more accurate though!
bradon182001 Feb 03, 2011	Very clever teaser. I would never have figured it out. Well done.
bestgirl Feb 03, 2011	What am I missing here? How does a zipper have soldiers?
doehead Feb 03, 2011	I agree with best girl. When did the teeth of a zipper turn into sold soldiers?
doehead Feb 03, 2011	Opps, remove the word sold.
wordmama Feb 03, 2011	This very non-science lady had the word mitochondria pop into her head!
auntiesis Feb 03, 2011	I thought teeth or mouth, alas I was wrong.
Dylan1069 Feb 03, 2011	Was I the only one who thought equal sign?
crocodile Feb 03, 2011	Fun! I was thinking it was either chess or long division.
HABS2933 Feb 03, 2011	I too was thinking teeth.
juju1946 Feb 04, 2011	If the answer was teeth, what's the solo soldier/ Your tongue? Good riddle. Perfect answer. And Doehead is one. Stop commenting. You're too stupid to comment.
lukasiwicz Feb 04, 2011	Gee, bestgirl, you really have to think metaphorically, or outside the box, sometimes way outside the box, on these riddles. Literal thinking will lead you astray almost every time.
