beanie89 Sep 02, 2003	Hey Peeps! What do ya think of this teaser. It's the first one I've summited that was my own creation.
fishmed Sep 03, 2003	Good one, but I needed the hint. I got pierce, but thought of pierce as in puncture and then was off track. After the hint, I got it right away. Keep 'm coming
jimbo Sep 04, 2003	If you are not American then you have no idea!
beanie89 Sep 04, 2003	Sorry Jimbo. I didn't think of that.
fishmed Sep 05, 2003	You don't have to be American, just know your American History regarding presidents. This is one of those issues that I have noted before. There are going to be puzzles that only Americans find easy, but the same goes for British, Aussies and any other represented group. It pretty much evens out overall. Keep up the good work.
beanie89 Sep 05, 2003	thanks fish
fishmed Sep 06, 2003	No problem. I've seen this many times and feel it just works out. Easier to just ask what it means than pout about having been born in the wrong country, don't ya think?
kgirlca Jan 29, 2004	Good one!! I always have trouble and give up on these.
trickart262 Jan 05, 2005	I LOVED THIS! TRICKY. I couln't have gotten even CLOSE without the hint!
kcelf27 Apr 28, 2005	I am from the US, and I hated US history in High School, so the hint didn't help me at all. Then once I saw the next line of the answer (what I needed to do to get the answers) I got them all and was right! ------NOTE------ maybe there should be a new catagory for knowlege of a specific country.
froggygg May 15, 2005	Good, but the hint gave it away.
sweetime Sep 06, 2005	sigh knowing nothing about american history (i'm australian) made this nigh on impossible for me to work out. twas a great teaser though
smarty_blondy Oct 01, 2005	I had no idea... yet, keep them coming.
Kalliann Jan 05, 2006	I was able to get it but I needed the help of the hint.
