It didn't challenge enough, too easy.

Hey Bradon ,Not everybody is a college graduate ,some players are dropouts so you have to entertain both levels of mentality NO OFFENCE :D

I loved it. Why? Because I finally found one I could work. After the first 3 letters, the answer was apparent. The rest was fun.

Hey Peppa you are so awesome. I love your work. Most are just hard enough to make them challenging but easy enough to keep us coming back. Great job. LOVED IT!!! And by not using Lucy made one wonder if you were on the right track. Double whamy. 8) :D

Joined this site several days ago. First one I was able to do. Thanks!! :P

Posted by katjojo02/13/07

Very very good. I really liked this double teaser. :D

Posted by puttumup02/13/07
:o ptretty good i got most of them...good work :o

Posted by bradon18200102/13/07
Still eacy, but enjoyable. After several days of not solving any teaser, it's good to be able to get the right answer. :o

Posted by campfirecutie02/13/07
Easy teaser for me but so much fun!! Keep them coming!! :D :lol:

Posted by doehead02/13/07
Ho-Hum :cry:

Posted by phyllisa02/13/07
A+ to Peppa, I got Lucy first, got stuck on "block", B for me, I loved it :)

Posted by FatHead02/13/07
I missed #7, but got the "Bonus". I loved it!

Posted by AbsurdHero02/13/07
I guess the fact that I missed the typewriter reference firmly cements me as a member of Generation Y. I haven't used one of those since I was like 8 years old.

Posted by scallio02/13/07
That's funny, Hero, because that was the word I missed too! :lol: Didn't need it to know the final answer though. Great teaser! :D

Posted by Pizzazz2u02/13/07
A definitely terrific teaser! :P 8) The teaser did get you to think about the answers. Even though it was easy for me, it was still enjoyable to conquer. :wink: Keep up the superb work! :wink:

Posted by speedqueenkmw02/13/07
see, being a tad older helps sometimes. Learning on a typewriter helped me to get #7. This was easy but lotsa fun. Keep em' comin'. :)

Posted by cloughme02/13/07
For once I am afraid I must agree with LMURRAY... way too easy. :wink:

Posted by dachshund2k302/13/07
Easy, easy, easy. I didn't need to get all of the definitions to get the celebrity name. I only got about four before I got the answer.

Posted by mumbojumbo123402/13/07
The point was the get all of the definitions, not to get the name of the celebrity. The celebrity helped with the words. Fun, and not too difficult.

Posted by OhEmGee02/13/07
kinda long

Posted by jabdr02/13/07
Thanks peppa...the perfect teaser. Fun, semi-easy, but with an added twist. :roll: Great job :D 8)

Posted by breathesunshine02/13/07
I liked that this was on the easy side. Some of us need easier ones to restore our faith in our brains after we stumble through the harder ones. :lol:

Posted by if_i_may9402/13/07
Who is lucille ball???? :-? :oops: :wink:

Posted by lrrbttrfly02/13/07
way easy!!!

Posted by Qrystal02/15/07
Hrm, I didn't know #7, wouldn't have known. I'd call typewriter font "Courier" :P But I figured courier didn't fit the VIP thing. The others were all easy, though. I missed the instruction about finding the celebrity! When I saw it in the answer, I was like.. huh? why is there a celebrity name there? And I reread the question and smacked myself in the forehead....

Posted by FutureMD07/02/07
Pretty Easy, but I would really like more brain teasers like this.

Posted by J-Mac02/13/10
Easy but also fun! Nice job! Thank you. Jim

Posted by doehead02/13/10
Ditto my remark of three years ago. :( :( :(

Posted by wordmama02/13/10
As you can tell by my 'handle', I got the definitions right off the bat! Getting the celebrity after the first two pairs of defs. definitely made the rest of the answers even easier to get! Very easy but just as enjoyable! :D

Posted by wordmama02/13/10
BTW: Please tell me those who got only 1 ans. right are 10 or under, and those who got 'only a few' are 14 or under!!? ----Worried teacher

Posted by patiencewithaP02/13/10
Fun! :D

Posted by auntiesis02/13/10
Way easy, but lots of fun. :D :lol: :D

Posted by avonma02/13/10
Got'em all! Easy and Fun :lol:

Posted by jcann02/13/10
Not too hard, but fun! :)

Posted by TallTimber02/13/10
Nice teaser.

Posted by Babe02/13/13
All you had to get were the first four and the rest came easy. You look down and see LUCI and you knew it was going to be Lucille Ball so all you had to do was write her name down and you had the first letter to every clue. Fun and easy! :D

Posted by gaylewolf02/13/13
Babe said it all and I agree! Easy but fun! :wink: :)

Posted by cutebug02/13/13
Agree w Babe & Gayle :D :D

Posted by HABS293302/13/13
Really enjoyed it, also agree with Babe.

Posted by jaycr02/13/13
Aw what the heck, I'll agree with babe too.
