Mad Ade's Funky Fractions 6
The idea of this teaser is to split the given words into the relevant fractions and then add the two fractions of words into one single word, once you have worked out which fraction of the word you need.
For example 3/5 of Green and 1/2 of Neat would be Great.
3/5 of green =Gre
1/2 of Neat= at
gre+at= Great
The first part of the fraction in the teaser will be in the first part of the finished word and all letters are used in the correct order with no skipping of letters, i.e. 2/5 of Green cannot be GE because it skips the letter R, but it could be EE.
1. third of add + 3/4 of over
2. 1/2 of thread + 5/6 of bottle
3. 2/5 of fresh + 3/4 of game
4. 5/6 of sprint
5. half of then + all of ere

Woah! I looked if there was any new teasers and I found about a thousand by you mad, all of which were right at the top of your list! Brilliant!
Funny how you are only allowed to put 5 teasers up for submition and yet you have 7 new teasers on the same day!!!
Editors are allowed ten at a time

Were you fully awake when you made this one, b/c it's not as good as the ones like this that you usually make. It's still real good, though.
