ya I usually can't get any of the teasers, and even i got that one!
that barely even makes sense AND it was easy.
dat was quite pointless i don't get how it could possibly be a trick question! im thik and i got it
haha.. funny
Maybe you're the one who needs the life...I mean, you're the one who's taking time out of your day to comment on teasers you didn't eve enjoy.. and you dont even have any teasers of your own?!
Heh I thought I was being clever by guessing 3, because the two fishes got eaten by their fellows. Doh!
Nice one.
Nice one.
Ths teaser was erm...interesting.
I enjoyed the coments every much.. but the teaser.. I don't know!
Yeah, Atropus. I thought they maybe were canniballistic. (I can't spell, so let me know if this is spelled wrong.) but overall, it was too easy of a teaser, cuz i was thinking, "either 5 or 3 ..."
this sound familiar but i didn\'t getand yea this one is cool.
i thought the teaser was cute et figured people would overthink it!like maybe the fish fairy(who\'s 1st cousin to the tooth fairy)came in the night et took the 2 dead fish.of course he would have had to leave silver dollars because paper dollars would get wet!lighten up!

Geez some of you guys are cruel. I dare you people that say this was terrible to make a teaser of your own! Then see what people say about it.
I thought your teaser was good....Yes it was simple for me, but that doesn\'t mean it was simple for everybody. Good job!

way 2 ez
easy but fun
every ones is a critic. I liked it
I guessed 3.lol.
funny but weird
there could have been more or less than 5. how do we know someone didn't take one out or put a new one in or something like that??? but i guess it ws still an ok teaser.
that was easy but fish eat eachother after one dies so u might find 41/2 fish in the aquairum depending on the time thay died
YOU SHOULD GO AND GET A LIFE YO IF THAT WAS 2 HARD 2 U. TRY MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT!!!!
HA! HA! HA... no. That was kind of retarted and really obvious, but you should have made the question clearer.
if your putting in constructive feedback do it alitle nicer maybe it was ment to be easy ever think of that?
This was was also very easy! I enjoyed it, however.
Really easy and obvious - unless the surviving fish were hungry for a late night snack...
Even if it was easy for you, that doesn't mean it was stupid. Maybe some people like easy teasers, and maybe some people don't think that certain ones are easy, even if you do.
Ooo YaY! Maybe I'm not all blonde cause I got that one! w00t! That is a rarity ... I have to get excited on these occasions.
And for the lot of you talking smack, most of you don't even have your own teasers. These people, including myself, make teasers for you to enjoy. We can't appeal to everyone, but we do what we can. If it wasn't for the people who make the teasers, there wouldn't be a site here to read them. Be nice and treat them how you would want to be treated, were it your teaser on display and under ridicule.
super easy man
Hey it's nice to finally see a teaser that isn't too mind boggling.. it gives you hope!!lol

"One night" could mean any night!
