| Thank you tinman, i am very glad you enjoyed it. :)
As an aside, it is my duty to post that i am not the author of this brain teaser.
This teaser is on site due to a special request, made by a 9yo named Sue. She is a very sweet and bright child, and a victim of AIDS. I met her a few weeks ago and, to try and bring a smile on her face, introduced her to Braingle.
It was fun to work out some of the easy teasers around, which she enjoyed very much. She surprized us all, when she came up with her own palindromes, and her own examples as well. A very bright child indeed!
This is a homage to my young friend, and yet another way to remember this sweet child always. Sue died on the 18th of November, 2005. God bless her heart, we will never forget her. |

| I didn't think it was so easy at all! I'd never heard of that grass, and I was stumped by tenet and minim (which, although technically a musical term, something you almost never hear of, even if you're a musician). But that's good! I prefer it not to be too easy.
I noticed that one person above spelled ma'am right and one spelled it wrong. Ma'am is right, the ' stands for the dropped d. I too have always been fascinated by palindromes! Thanks, to the author and to smarty for the great teaser! :D 8) :D |

| Thank you for sharing this story, Smarty Blondy. Its sad that this child's life was tragically cut short, but I'm glad that she was able to find things to enjoy even in her final days. And yes, you DID do something very special!
I thought this was an excellent teaser. Some answers were easy, and some were hard for me. A good mix.
Again, I thank you for allowing us to participate in this special tribute. |

| Palindromes rule |
|
| Posted by lilwigles | 01/04/06 |
| I like palindromes too. I 'collect' them. Here are a few:
Most people know "Dennis sinned." is a palindrome.
Did you know that "Dennis and Edna sinned" is also one?
Niagara, O roar again!
Nurse, I spy gypsies, run!
Napoleon supposedly said,
"Able was I ere I saw Elba." |
|
| Posted by lilwigles | 01/04/06 |
| NO X IN NIXON
This palindrome is fun because you can turn it upside down and it says the same thing. :) |

| It was fun. I got 8 out of 10. Nos. 7,9,11 and 12 I couldn't figure out. When I was younger I usually write down all the words that are paldroims but I never knew that was the name for them. I didn't realize reviver was one. :lol: |

| There have been so many wonderful and touching comments in one day that I am not sure where to begin -- I am extremely excited of the possitive response you have all shown, a mere "Thank You!" will never do.
Your blessings are most appreciated as they make all the difference in the world. Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughts! :)

| A good friend of mine told me once that even the worst things happen for a reason. We tend to think of it that way, that God had something instaured and that, wherever she is, she is happy. Thank you both for your comments - they are appreciated. :) |

Rise to vote, sir.
Was it a cat I saw?
And here is a "word pallindrome":
DO YOU KNOW I WANT YOU, THINK YOU WANT? (I KNOW YOU DO)
It is love?
You only know I want to like--it is what you want.
Too long I waited,
You that never knew I wanted you...
What did I do to you--for nothing!
Is there reason in acting this way?
Think--weigh this acting in reason.
There is nothing for you to do--I did what you wanted.
I knew never that you waited.
I long to want you. What is it like to want? (I know only you.)
Love--is it?
DO YOU KNOW I WANT YOU, THINK YOU WANT? (I KNOW YOU DO) |

| Posted by marching_xc | 05/28/06 |

Go hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog!
And Smartieblondie, the title was a cute way to incorporate a clever rebus! Great presentation of a great teaser. |

| I agree that it started out easy and got harder as it went. I'd never heard of the second musical term or the beach grass. It's always a good teaser when it can teach as well as provide fun! :P |

Thank you for this teaser, I really liked it. |

| Posted by wordmama | 01/04/07 |
| Sorry for your loss.
I didn't think it was for youngsters at all, simply a mix of easy, medium, and almost impossible (9 & 10!) I enjoyed learning a new word; I grew up on a beach, and it had sand, not grass, so thanks for the info!
Speaking of info, could you please explain the title for me; I didn't get it. :) :P :oops: |
|
| Posted by wordmama | 01/05/07 |
| I just examined the title again and now I got it; I didn't see it right away b/c there's no 'e' between the 'm' and the 's'. So thanks; I don't need anyone to bother with a response. :roll: :oops: :) |
|

| Thank you smarty blondyfor honoring Sue bytelling us her story and sharing her teaser with us. :wink: I really learned a few things . too. 8) I love music and am in the choirr at church , but i have never heard of the minim or the grass. 8) 8) 8) 8) |

| Posted by Qrystal | 01/06/07 |
| Three cheers for Sue! Awesome teaser!! Great fun too. I love palindromes, and here's one that makes me giggle:
Rats live on no evil star.
Anyways, I got a bunch of the palindromes, and missed some of the same ones that others did. I'm kicking myself about missing 'level', and I also missed #7, #9, #10, #11, #12. |

| 9 and 10 were pretty hard to guess. |
