Very nice...... Loved it!

Posted by ginny32206/24/05
good job. it was fun! :wink:

Posted by BigRock31306/24/05
Sorry, not the best. Although, with more time your future teasers could be funnier. :wink:

Posted by FulanitoGM06/24/05
Heck, I thought this one was good. Everyone had trouble on #9, but the only one I couldn't get was #6. Guess I'm just on a different brain wavelength from you guys! Oh well, 9 out of 10 ain't bad! :D

Posted by crzyness4lyfe06/24/05
nice....those were fun

Posted by nightowl1906/24/05
I didn't get all of them, but that was still a really cool teaer. Keep up the good work! :wink:

Posted by onlyeeyore06/24/05
Fun stuff! Very cool teaser!

Posted by infernogirl06/25/05
This was a really fun and challenging teaser. I got all of them right except number five and I could not figure out number nine. I agree with Derek J on number five, I thought it was ten, net. It makes sense. I added this one to my favorites. Very cool. :D :D :D

Posted by brainyng06/26/05
i only got two of them. it was fun keep up the good work! :D

Posted by mzbhavin06/28/05

Excellent! :D I enjoy thinking about the work that goes into developing these teasers.

Posted by vlerma06/24/06
:D Loved it. Got them all. No talky tonight, bad storm rolling thru. Bye Wish me luck in this darned trailer. :)

Posted by Badger06/24/06
Easy, but fun. Unfortunately I'm also in the ten/net club... Your answer for #5 was much better. Great teaser. :oops:

Posted by savo06/24/06
:D Real good one. Ez, but great fun. Keep em coming 'loke.

Posted by bluehawk06/24/06
THE THINKING HAT WENT ON THEN OFF. :D EASY, BUT...GOOD.. :D :wink: 8)

Posted by luigibabe06/24/06
I got them all easily. I needed that this morning :D

Posted by jessmr06/24/06

Posted by bradon18200106/24/06
I liked this one a lot. Made me do some thinking.Kiinda easy, but really fun. :o Still wondering if I'm the only one who sees the "This is offensive" statement after each comment.What gives?

Posted by lorelle_b06/24/06
Yesss! I got them all. go me.

Posted by nu_rob_roy06/24/06
No, bradon182001, you're not the only one who sees the "This is offensive" statement after each comment, but a little imp keeps check everyone's to hide his own offensive behavior. :evil: Grand teaser, not an easy one but a doable one, and a clearly it took lot of work to make. Thanks Gabe1991. :P

Posted by Pizzazz2u06/24/06
Spectacularly Awesome Teaser! I figured ALL of them out! Woo Hoo! Keep them rolling. My best wishes to the creator of this Totally Amazing teaser. These type of teasers put creativity back into the working life. It is hard to put a difficulty rating on any of these puzzles, not knowing the education level of the maker. But, these are Absolutely Great. Keep Rolling.

Posted by sequoia-mom06/24/06
It took me a minute to get the hang of it, and I got all but #s 6 & 9. :( Well thought out and lots of fun!

Posted by Trishgal06/24/06
Enjoyed this one . Easy , but that is sometimesnice ,and i still could not figure out 7 . :oops: Thanks Gabe

Posted by SandraB06/24/06
Had me thinking on a couple, #5 & 6, but worked them out. Great job creating this one.

Posted by twixy06/24/06
very easy, but good. :D

Posted by Neek06/24/06
I love these. I got all but #9 and I still don't understand it. Good job!

Posted by scr2606/24/06
2 hard 4 me!

Posted by Smart_Alex06/24/06
This was a very fun and, for some like me, time consuming. It took a while, but in the end I answered 7/10 correct answers. A second teaser like this would be a great idea.

Posted by starnz06/24/06
Loved 'em!!! Two stumped me, and when I saw the answers, I thought "DUH!!!" I'd like to do more of these!

Posted by rootsradical2306/24/06
great teaser! i missed 9 and 10, but got the rest fairly easily... here's a good one for you: baby underwear/get money back (diaper-repaid) :lol: :lol: :lol:

Posted by jlvsbeks06/24/06
I really like these ones! :D I missed #9 :oops:

Posted by syncmaster_21206/24/06
very nice good job :D

Posted by azbee12306/24/06
looooved it!! sooo much fun. keep these coming!!!!! :D :D :D :D

Posted by kcheer249306/24/06
Not bad, takes some time. But for number 6, Portion/catching device, I had "ten (portion)/ net (catching device)" but your answers are probably better! Good work

Posted by smartster1306/24/06
These are really cool, you should make more and let me know where they are.

Posted by cox_9406/24/06
Ummm... this teaser was O.K .. but I kinda got confused. :o But if I understood I'm sure it would've been fantastic.

Posted by scallio06/25/06
Loved this teaser! Didn't get these two: 4. weapons, tight fit 5. portion, catching device Thanks. :D

Posted by tonjawithaj06/26/06
good one! :D

Posted by cassiemark06/27/06
I liked that one a lot! I missed #9 then felt silly when I saw the answer. Great job! :)

Posted by Nellem07/01/06
Got all the answers right FOR A CHANGE, good teaser, hard enough to make you think but achievable.

Posted by snappytom01/11/08
Loved IT!

Posted by doehead06/24/09
How about something that is a challenge. This was way to easy. :( :( :(

Posted by Mill8906/24/09
I got them all except for the tool/loot one. Nice.

Posted by tova_l06/24/09
great quiz! I got every single one! :D I wouldn't have gotten #9 but I just took a quiz with straws so I got it!!!! :lol:

Posted by shannmo06/24/09
hey doehead where are all the challenging teasers that you have submitted? oh that's right you haven't.

Posted by jcann06/24/09
I love palindromes! I got them all, but had to think awhile on number 5, as some of you have also said. Have any of you read the story "Hannah is a Palindrome?" It's a really cute story that got me so interested in palindromes. I enjoyed this teaser--they don't have to be hard to please me. :)

Posted by nailteachd06/24/09
Good one. I got all ten. Just tough enough to make you think but not so hard to make you get discouraged.

Posted by wordmama06/24/09
I got all 10 with barely a pause between them (note my handle), but I greatly enjoyed doing so! Thanks for posting.

Posted by millie06/24/09
GOT THEM UP TO NO. 10, IN CANADA WE DON'T CALL OUR JAILS PRECINCTS, SO WARD DIDN'T COME TO MIND - I REALLY ENJOYED THE TEST - LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT ONE. :roll: :roll:

Posted by patiencewithaP06/24/09
Great teaser! Took me a bit to get #5...very fun! :D

Posted by auntiesis06/24/09
Fun, fun, fun. Easy, but much fun. :lol: :D :lol:

Posted by blackwolfe06/24/09
Got them all quickly except #9, which I thought was start/tarts. I looked at the answer before realizing start is *not* the opposite of tarts... :-? kinda embarrasing, making that simple of a mistake... :oops: oh well, I enjoyed it anyway! :D

Posted by Babe06/24/12
Oh, that was a fun one! I thought it was fairly easy and got them all but # 10 I could not think of a word for that one. All I thought about for precinct was a police station. :D Gayewolf did you think that also?

Posted by koolkiddo06/24/12
Fun. i liked it. they make me waste time! :D :roll: :lol: :roll: :lol: :D

Posted by gaylewolf06/24/12
I LOVED that one, and got them all quite easily. Some puzzles are just my thing! Thanks for posting! Thanks for the personal greeting, Babe! We do have lots of things in common, I'm sure! Have a beautiful Sunday, everyone! :wink: :)

Posted by mejajones06/24/12
Fun puzzle -- makes you think but moves along quickly. :lol:

Posted by iggy3906/24/12
