| Wow.. I completely got a grid filled that was working and yet somehow all my answers are wrong O_O |

| Every time I attempted this I got an inconsistency, but the answer to the teaser is not inconsistent. I am confuesed, but I like this one very much. |

| Hopefully reading this clue again will help:
The bat that was fought off with a Walking Stick managed to suck 1.5ml MORE THAN THE BAT THAT ATTACKED 2 DAYS BEFORE the victim that used a slipper to defend themselves, which was not Mr. Sachs.

| This clue was intended to be confusing. Does this help:
The victim that used the slipper, who was not Mr. Sachs, was attacked 2 days after the bat attacked the victim that had 1.5ml less sucked, than the bat that was fought off with the walking stick. |

| I agree that the second clue should be revised! :D Other than the frustration associated with that, very amusing :D |

| This was a small motivation for my Hell's Attack teaser. Loved it, very violent and evil. |

| It is a really challenging teaser and I had fun doing it! :D :D I got most of the answers correct. I agree with 'addicktd' the whole point to this is not to go to Batrus. :lol: :lol: A very evil village to visit! :lol: |

| Yes! I managed it at last! This is my n-th time I try.
I liked this one very much. |

| I really enjoyed this teaser. I think clue 2 is fantastic! It has a lot of _really_ useful information in it, you just have to read it very carefully and keep coming back to it as you get more filled out. I much prefer this kind of "tricky" clue to those that hand you the answer on a plate!!
Great Job! :) |

| WOW! This is the best teaser I've done yet! I *heart* clue 2! Anyone griping about it needs to quit nitpicking. Hope to see more teasers from you! :D |

| Tricky tricky! Actually gave up on it the first bunch of tries, then tried again today and got it on the first try. Doh! |

| :x :evil: READ CLUE 2 CAREFULLY The bat that was fought off with a Walking Stick managed to suck 1.5ml more than the bat that attacked 2 days before the victim that used a Slipper to defend themselves. The only amount which could be 1.5 more than another amount is 2.5, which is 1.5 more than 1. The only days that could be 2 days before any other days listed are Monday (two days before Wednesday) and Wednesday (two days before Friday) 1ml is the least amount of blood so according to clue 5 it could not be Monday since The victim that had 7ml of blood sucked was attacked the day before the victim having the least amount of blood sucked. Therefore the victim having the least amount of blood sucked had to be on Wednesday, the victim having 7ml sucked had to be on Tuesday and the day the victim used a slipper to defend himself or herself had to be Friday. Some of the answer is right but a lot is wrong :roll: Here is what I figure is right: Monday Mrs. Melbury Handbag 6ml; Tuesday Mr. Sachs Umbrella 7ml; Wednesday Ms Trews or Mr Twiddle Fist 1ml; Friday Miss Fitch Slipper 4ml; Saturday Ms Trews or Mr. Twiddle Walking Stick 2.5 ml. The clues don't mention Mr. Twiddle and only say that Ms Trews did not use an Umbrella as her weapon, which does not help. Clue 5 only makes sense if the last phrase "which was not on a Wednesday" refers to the day that victim that had 7ml of blood sucked and not the victim having the least amount of blood sucked which I have already stated MUST have happened on Wednesday!!!!!!! :roll: :-? :cry: :( :o This is not a well written puzzle!!!!!! |

| Sorry, _last guy that posted_, I didn't read your whole comment yet. I stopped when you said the "only" option for 1.5 ml more was 2.5. You are incorrect, sir. 4ml is also another problem.
I am having troubles with this grid, but hey, if I didn't like a challege, I wouldn't pick one rated so hard.
No reason to be mad at the author simply because he is the master of trickery. |

| :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: Something is really screwed up here. In the comment above I started with ten blushing faces and it said that I used too many emoticons please limit to ten so I started to delete them and by the time it let me post them it was down to three which is a lot less than ten now I am starting with ten evil faces let's see how many it will let me post. |

| Posted by DaveC | 11/30/05 |
| :D Thank you Splatt, after I saw where I had gone wrong I solved the puzzle in a few minutes. I can't believe that I didn't See that . I apologize to Cinnamon for what I said about this being a poorly written puzzle. My carelessness caused me to make a fool out of myself. :oops: :D :wink: 8) |

| This is a superteaser. You must read carefully an also use your head :D :o |

| Posted by TheEarthling | 01/01/06 |
| It took me a while, but I got it in the end. Undoubtedly one of my favourites. I love challenging teasers. :D |

| Misreading clue 2 messed me up the first couple attempts, but once I read that clue correctly, I was able to solve it. Very good one! |

| WASTE OF TIME! Two days is NOT two grid rows. |
|
| Posted by WJSMama | 01/18/06 |
| WOW! That was great. Must have been the hardest one that I have ever attempted, and no, I didn't get it, I guess I'm a quitter. After reading the comments, I'm not sure if I could solve it or not. :oops: |
|
| Posted by thompson1 | 02/22/06 |
| Wow, that was awesome, but really hard :o, and if I am correct, the slipper part of clue 6 is unneeded. I completely missed the skip of Thursday, but once I saw that, I still couldn't get it :x |
|
| Posted by Gnius | 03/01/06 |
| This really sucked... I tried solving it for a very long time until i gave up and checked your answer...
The answer you gave is incoherent with clue number 2...
You state in clue number two that the person that used the slipper was 2 days after the person that had 1 ml sucked out of him. In your answer you state that the slipper is 1 day before 1ml...
Recheck the whole thing... you screwed up and that gave ALL OF US A HARD TIME... |
|
| Posted by Gnius | 03/01/06 |
| Sorry... I rechecked and I'm wrong... This Was A Very Good One... Looking forward for more from you... |

| Great Teaser! :D Didn't take me that long, but I did have to read very carefully, which made it more fun and challenging than most of these. Love reading all of the frustrated comments from people who didn't read it carefully enough and think it's somehow your fault. |

| lorial -- excellent puzzle. I especially liked your very creative storyline. |

| OMG! Kudos to you on this one. I still haven't figured it out, but will be coming back to it. This is one to print and work on a little at a time (so you don't go "batty")! :roll: :o :-? :D
Clue 2 threw me for a bit, but after reading it several times was able to break it down to the 3 bats. Still can't figure out which bat is the mystery bat though. :-? |

| Fantastic puzzle! I loved it! It all fell together very nice. |

| I finally got it, thank goodness. :D Once I was able to figure out clue #2 everything fell into place. Great job! I love a challenge. :D :D |
|
| Posted by MorbidLies | 12/27/07 |
| Really difficult!! I ended up giving up! |
|
| Posted by Loris21 | 12/04/08 |
| Super difficult, but very refreshing when I was finally able to figure it out. The Thursday thing threw me off as well. :D |
|
| Posted by chandler773 | 02/08/09 |
| Great teaser! Clue 2 is the tough one, but is extremely well written, so I was able to figure it out. With the first couple read-throughs, I wasn't sure what the last part re: Mr. Sachs was referring to. Since the first part of the clue was about a bat, and not about a person (i.e. Mr. Sachs), it all came together. Amazing and ingenius!!! Don't listen to the complainers - they want the answers handed to them on a silver platter :) |

| That was REALLY fun. I was convinced there was an error until I finally started counting Thursday. Thanks for a great puzzle! |
|
| Posted by qua006 | 10/15/10 |
| Really tough puzzle, the trick I found was when I realized clue 2 referred to 3 bats, not 2 |

And clue #2 made my head spin. |
