Posted by Sunrose on Aug 10, 2005 thats one cool teaser  |
|
Posted by vikingboy on Aug 11, 2005 Good one. Was confusing at first because the double underscores that are supposed to be two letters show up as only one underscore. Thus I thought I was supposed to solve for "_ AMY" not "_ _ AMY" but figured it out. Got most before cheating! |

|

|
Posted by timon_dmlybots on Sep 20, 2005 Dah!  |
|
Posted by jabdr on Sep 20, 2005 I loved it. Took me a few minutes to see that some blanks were bigger than others and needed two letters. My duh!  |
|
Posted by pleroux on Sep 20, 2005 Very, very nice! Well thought out, with elegant solution - gone straight to my favourites |
|
Posted by laura0489 on Sep 20, 2005 Number 6 had a typo---only 4 letters in the teaser and 5 in the answer. I would have gotten it if it wasn't for that (no, i'm lying...) |
|
Posted by dodger on Sep 20, 2005 Absolute rubbish, you should be ashamed of yourself, wasting my time with such a pointless, dull riddle. I demand better in the future.  |
|
Posted by dodger on Sep 20, 2005 Only kidding, i thought it was great!! I must admit i did cheat towards the end. Well done mate, keep them coming. |
|
Posted by Llama-Llover on Sep 20, 2005 Although dodger had a change of mind, I agree with his earlier statement. Can't you think of anything more involving? |
|
Posted by jacoblyre on Sep 20, 2005 something to wake you think when you make up  |
|
Posted by iteachkids on Sep 20, 2005 What do you mean by "more involving," Llama Lover? Anytime I have to get out paper and pencil, that is plenty involved for ME! , Yourself! |
|
Posted by akm365 on Sep 20, 2005 good job on this one  this one was rather hard for me  |
|
Posted by Trickster1992 on Sep 20, 2005 This teaser was fun yet difficult, good one! |
|
Posted by zonarita on Sep 20, 2005 I enjoyed it. I like using the antique paper and pencil! I do agree a space between blanks would have made it easier, especially for those of us who don't see a difference in the size of a line at this font size. |
|
Posted by ceeyaaa on Sep 20, 2005 very well done...only got 6 right and then couldn't figure out the rest but it was fun |
|
Posted by smosaka on Sep 20, 2005 Totally cool. I'm impressed |
|
Posted by mi2mo2tx on Sep 20, 2005 This was a great teaser... although tough because the spaces confused me. If you write another, maybe do a space between letters? Thanks it was fun! |
|
Posted by NTaliesen on Sep 20, 2005 I love the tough ones thanks |
|

|
Posted by shanniesue on Sep 20, 2005 Good teaser, but I didn't get it right b/c some of the underscores ran together and I didn't realize that some places needed 2 letters |
|
Posted by bagogirl on Sep 20, 2005 you should separate the underscores because i didn't know that it was meant to be two |
|
Posted by teaser55 on Sep 20, 2005 Very good tease. Easy yet still fun to do. |
|

|
Posted by foreverfree on Sep 20, 2005 well i didnt have time to do it but it looked like fun |
|
Posted by thimblenoggin on Sep 20, 2005 The underscores confused me until I realized I had more letters than spaces. Good one otherwise. |
|
Posted by jelnova on Sep 20, 2005 I looked at the answer and you have Braved and Bequest. I was left with a d left over and not enough Bs. Other than that I got all the other words. |
|
Posted by infernogirl on Sep 21, 2005 I loved it Just the thing to keep this blond thinking! this will be one of my favorites! |
|
Posted by Haylie1506 on Sep 21, 2005 I probably could've done it if I tried...but I didn't have time. Nice job, though! |
|
Posted by riddlelover on Sep 22, 2005 Not very good at things like these...I am sure that if this was my strong point, I would have liked it! |
