Cute teaser. With my luck, the book would fall apart when it hit the floor and I would have 800 pages scattered about the floor!
HOW SMART! i neva wouoldve thought of that!
LOL i never thought if that!

nice, but wouldnt it be 802 things if you include the vovers? or am I being insane. But tis great anyway.
*covers*
Yea that is pretty smart of you to
say that + good teaser

The things that fell could have all been feathers, and there wouldn't have been any sound at all.
good one! muy bien. mahalo
tiger's right but it'd have to be 799 feathers and one bowling ball (or whatever) to make the "one sound"
but i like your answer better
but i like your answer better
I said an ant farm.
thats cute i thought it was a hour glass with 800 pieces of sand
Why is the title 'PAIN' ?
Usually when an object hits the floor, It does not land perfectly flat, and so it would make two+ sounds as the other ends of the book hit the floor. Even if it does hit the floor evenly, it bounces up and still makes two sounds.
This is also too vague to be a teaser.

Thats pretty good, i was also thinking something like some feathers and something else, or thunder came so you only heard thunder, but that was pretty good! brilliant work!
clever clever!!
I thought of 800 cotton balls in a bag, or feathers in a bag, or toothpicks in a box, or.............
Great Teaser! And you were the only one who put a rude comment on my counterpart's teaser, iluvcows .
Good One!!!
um that wasn't rude, it was the truth
Why is the title PAIN? Anyway good teaser.
The title is "Pain" because I typoed.
what did u mean 4 it 2 be called?
Umm...good teaser, but how is it a "trick" exactly? I liked it anyways.
i thought it was a palate (?) full of small boxes at a warehouse or something
two things. 1. what did you mean to name it? 2. I thought it was a/an....well, i like youre teaser
Hey I got this one right!
hundreds of possibilities
What is supposed to be the teaser name? You should correct it. Only you know the correct teaser name.
You don't think I tried, Cowman? It doesn't let you.
Okay I take that back, but when I tried to (a year or so ago) it wouldn't let me. I'll try.
Last post, sorry. But, besides I doubt it would get through, because I would completely the change the title, and if people searched for it, they wouldn't find it.
teasers are more fun when there is only one possible answer,this has a vertually unlimited number of possibilities
i.e. a box or bag of anything

I thought it was a book titled 800 Things...
but yeah, it could be a bag or box of anything...

A book and 800 pages...
Wouldnt that technically be 801 things? lol

Uh...there's an identical copy of this teaser.
Wouldn't 800 pages be 400 things? One 'leaf' of a book is two pages, and we wouldn't call a page a 'thing' usually. Fun teaser, stirring up some comments!
lol i thought maybe a jar with 799 paperclips fell... fail
