I'm sorry. I don't think this is challenging at all. Fun-yes. Challenging-not in the least. But maybe that's my opinion. Note: teaser-maker ----Im not criticizing ur teaser. I think its really good and fun! just not as challenging as the editor thinks it is. :D

I enjoyed this teaser, I too found it fairly easy, but I guess if you don't know what the Fibonacci number sequence is, you may have difficulty with it.
