iluvkip, at the top of the teaser it says What Are The Elusive Characters? Missing Two Letters Or Numbers? When you take the first letter of each word, you get WATEC; MTLON.

Ok I'm sorry sometimes I'm kinda stupid but i really don't understand this teaser at all.
K I've been staring at this for 5 minutes and i still don't get it. Can someone enlighten me?
thats quite the good one, !!!nice trick
flipflopchica--I didn't get it either until I read brianz's comment. I don't know if I can explain it better than him, though I'll try to help you. In the sentences: "What Are The Elusive Characters? Missing Two Letters Or Numbers?" look at the first letters of each word. (The ones I capitalized.) Hope it helps!
OHHHH!!! I get it! thank you!
I get what you're saying i think.So the answer is m, t because they're the first two letter of the next two words?
well c, t i mean?
sorry i just don't get it...what words start with c and t?
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I get it I'm such an idiot!!!!!!!! Than's lol now i can laugh at myself. Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha thanks for the help guys!

*sigh* i was thinking too literally (which is normally required in trick categories).
i decided that the "missing letters" were question marks (because question marks were left in their place, rather than spaces)
answer wasn't too bad i suppose

The fact that you used the word "elusive", and that you mentioned numbers or letters should have told me the answer. Good one.

A few of you were confused after you read the answer. Yes. I understand. The answer made no sense. So I edited it.

I was so lost...even after the answer! Then I read Brainz post...THANK YOU for explaining that! That was really cool once I understood it...good job!
Brainz...Brianz...whatever I think it should be Brainz
i had to read someone's comment to understand it. very cool!
I got water melon but whe I read the answer I only understood half of it. so i went back to check it out and understood right away.
