| LOL! Great teaser!!!
"He's young in years, we let him run,"
The other brothers say
"'Cause though he's surely number one,
He's second, in a way."
And I say:
"GREAT TEASER! NUMBER 1!!!" |

| Fun and clever! I love the "pun" using the word "second"! Going into my faves! :D |

| For some reason, I found it easy... the non-stop and the second gave it away. |

| Very clever. I didn't get it, but it sure makes sense after seeing the answer. :o |

| Good job on this one! I got it right and thought it was cleverly written. :D |

| this is one of the best teasers I have read in a long time....good job |
|

| excellent teaser...i thought he was named after their father which would make him a "second" (commonly known as Jr.) stupid me...keep 'em coming |

| Great teaser--I think it is one of the best :D |

| Posted by chaskey | 10/05/07 |
| I agree with the above praises. Beautifully done. :D |

| Posted by zaya | 10/05/07 |
| Could have been a clever riddle, but there was no explanation of what we're solving so I'm quite disappointed. Where did it say to explain what the 3 brothers represented, versus why the youngest could be considered "second". :x :x |
|

| Wow!! Excellent teaser - did you write it yourself? Well done! Thanks! :D |
|
| Posted by scallio | 10/05/07 |
| Excellent teaser! Well written and concise.
I found this one to be rather easy but not so much so as to make it a bore.
:D |
|
| Posted by jaydeco | 10/05/07 |
| good one! I didn't figure it out but it became much clearer after I seen the answer! You had me stumped! :) |
|
| Posted by jabdr | 10/05/07 |
| Good teaser,grilled cheese (cam?). :wink: The answer came to me in a second. It's nice to get one quicklly, rather than in minutes or hours, or never. :D |

| Need more coffee, nice one, would have never guessed it though!! |

|
| Posted by 2ndhandrose | 10/05/07 |
| I didn't get the riddle. :oops:
but it was obvious after reading
answer. :o
I think too one of the best in a
while :D :D :D |

| Very good ! I didn't understand the title, Family Sport. But it was a great puzzle, even though I had no clue. :oops: :oops: :cry: :-? |

| Good one! :D |
|
| Posted by nikitafullmoon | 10/05/07 |
| Brilliant teaser! |
|
| Posted by wandering_goat | 10/05/07 |
| Great teaser! How can people not understand this? They're brothers because they're all closely related, living in the same area, joined together, etc. The youngest is "second" because he's the second hand. |
|

| I had to read it twice, but I got it. It was really fun and it took a bit of thinking so I absolutely loved it! Good job. :D |
|
| Posted by Therulerofthem | 10/05/07 |

Great teaser. |

| very good...I happened to get this one, but that's not to say it was easy as I am a genius! |
|
| Posted by Madelulabelle | 10/05/07 |
| Great one Grilledcheese! You have some of my favorites on the site! Really well written! :lol: |

| GREAT TEASER!!! you got me... was no-where near the answer! |
|
| Posted by mosca | 01/10/08 |
| really GREAT teaser! Took some thinking, but was not too obscure! :lol: |
|
| Posted by kodhrawara | 01/28/08 |
| I got it the very "second" I read it |
|
| Posted by vg674 | 02/14/08 |
| Great but ambigous.
I couldn't figure out what the question was for a bit. |
|
| Posted by chakki | 05/21/08 |
| its very sportive 8) :lol: |
|
| Posted by MyLove4Life | 05/24/08 |
| Brilliant!! I didn't get it but I went D'oh! when I read the answer.
Great job! :wink: |
|
| Posted by teen_wiz | 07/25/08 |
| Loved it--the rhyme was perfect too. :D |
|
| Posted by Psychic_Master | 12/05/08 |
| HAHA! :lol:
Great! That one got me stumped until I read the answer...and even then I had to re-read the teaser. Poor sleep-deprived me. I'm definitely gonna check out your other teasers. Nice one! :D |
|
| Posted by zembobo | 12/16/08 |
| You know why it's hard to find the answer? Because the bloke forgot to ask the question...I'm sorry, did I miss the question? Good rhyme, but the only way I was able to figure out the question...was to look at the answer!! |
|
| Posted by GreenApples27 | 03/10/09 |
| That was an awesome riddle Cameron! I didn't understand what it was asking of me though! haha
But when I saw the answer I was like oooh. haha :laugh:
VERY good. |
|
| Posted by Paladin | 03/16/09 |
| Loved it... I got it right off, but I think it was just a fluke that my mind went ehre. Well done! :) |

| Very good |

| Posted by elentir | 10/05/10 |
| How are they 'oldest', 'middle' and 'youngest'? Aren't they all the same age? Actually, if you want to get really technical about it, from the beginning of time seconds have been around before hours have; 3599 of them actually. |
|
| Posted by gaylewolf | 10/05/10 |
| Terrific puzzle! :)
I didn't get it, but once I saw the answer I realized how very clever it was! :lol:
Thanks for a good one - well done! |

As I recall what I learned about the history of clockmaking, the earliest clocks had only an hour hand. Minute hands came along some centuries later, followed by second hands as a more recent innovation. |

| Posted by wordmama | 10/05/10 |
| I enjoyed this teaser immensely, especially the getting it part!! The first time I read it, I also thought, "The question's missing!" Next time through, the youngest going fastest but also second led me to the clock and then the other descriptions fell into place! Loved it! Congrats, grilled cheese! :D |
|
| Posted by elentir | 10/05/10 |
| OK, that makes a little more sense then. Thanks Talanpoe! |
|
| Posted by sunnybonghits | 10/05/10 |
| ummm.....where's the riddle? this is a poem. i also don't understand why the hands of the clock have different ages? a nice poem, but a terrible riddle. |
|
| Posted by ttam007 | 10/05/10 |
| I thought we were guessing the sport, since that was in the title. A question would have really helped, i.e., Who are we?
I like the riddle overall. It was well written and doesn't have a dozen different answers. Though the answer is obvious once you know it, that in my mind is a hallmark of a good riddle. |

| 8) Wandering Goat, explained the idea of this Teaser in such simple terms that this Teaser is quite brilliant and funny. I like Teaser like this one. I didn't get the answer, but its nice to see that so many did get the correct answer. My answer was Way off. I thought he came in second because running like the wind only gives you first place when there is Wind, but without the Wind, as the Air is calm,then he gets second place. So what, I told you I was way off. By the way, the Title "Family Sports" makes the Teaser even more believable. I am Out----> 8) |
