zonarita Oct 23, 2005	Hey Fox, I got this one all the way!! I sure enjoy these!! I'm glad you've got more coming.
Splatt Oct 23, 2005	Ooh, I thought one of the words was Pire. I guess I was thinking of Spire or pyre. I dunno. Fun!
realm2346 Oct 26, 2005	I got the whole thing right!!!! Maybe it's because I recognize the words. I'm not sure. Anyway , ,it was lots of fun.
Trishgal Aug 19, 2006	nice one. liked it really well.

Badger Aug 19, 2006	Hadn't done one of these before! Very fun to work it from both directions and meet in the middle. Keep them coming.
OldChinaHand Aug 19, 2006	Interesting little teaser. Well done, I hope to see more.
marschie Aug 19, 2006	Really good ...and lots of fun
RRAMMOHAN Aug 19, 2006	Rather simple. The last clue helps one to work backwards, if one were in doubt. All the same, an interestinf teaser. Waiting for more.
Pizzazz2u Aug 19, 2006	This is a dynamically creative and thrilling way to get younger and older individuals to search for answers of the given clues. Even though CW enthusiasts will believe this is too easy. And yes, I worked this thing backwards, too. But, I had fun with it.
speedqueenkmw Aug 19, 2006	couldn't come up with prime-duh, but got the rest. nice teaser

FatHead Aug 19, 2006	I actually got PIER last.
vlerma Aug 19, 2006	I, too, had trouble with Pier, but finally got under that one and put the finishing touches on it and it didn't take any slaves to do it. Great teaser. More please?
Musikman212 Aug 19, 2006	Great teaser I really enjoyed it. That said, The Empire state building may be the tallest building in New York City. It is not the tallest in the world however. Last I heard the CN Tower in Toronto Canada was the tallest.
FeaerFactorY666 Aug 19, 2006	very nice!
iteachkids Aug 19, 2006	Yeah ... the Empire State Building is NINTH tallest in the world, the tallest being in Taipei, Taiwan. See: http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0001338.html Fun teaser, though!
JohnG1812 Aug 19, 2006	I'd never tried one of these before. I had to look at the answer first to see how they worked. Looks like fun. I'm looking forward to the next one.
learningchinese Aug 19, 2006	MIDDLE SCHOOLISH. NO MORE PLEASE.
learningchinese Aug 19, 2006	Sorry, I did it again, the caps I mean.
FriarFox Aug 19, 2006	As was stated in the answer, the Empire State Building is the tallest skyscraper in New York City. Never was it mentioned being the tallest in the world (FYI).
tdbrsun Aug 19, 2006	This was fun . Good one.
nu_rob_roy Aug 19, 2006	I wonder who Mr. above really is? Good teaser. And it true about the Empire State Building. Just read the answer more carefully.
nu_rob_roy Aug 19, 2006	Sorry for any insult or confusion. I wonder who Mr. learningchinese above really is? Good teaser. And it true about the Empire State Building. Just read the answer more carefully.
chrisbo Aug 19, 2006	Hey FriarFox, the reason people are commenting is b/c you state at the end of your teaser "The Empire State Building is once again the world's tallest skyscraper in New York City...."while I'm sure you meant to say it's once again the tallest skyscraper in NYC. BTW, nice teaser...
ragdol13 Aug 20, 2006	that was pretty saweet i got pi rip and empire!! woohoo
Qrystal Aug 31, 2006	Cheers! I got 'em all! Had to work backwards from EMPIRE to get PRIME, because I had a question mark next to PIER, but it all worked out. Yay!
Cubano Aug 20, 2009	Why stop there?! You can go on to PREMIER, PREMIERE and then... PERIMETER!
doehead Aug 20, 2009	Nice easy one to start my day.

UptheHill Aug 20, 2009	Nice one!!!
