Yay! That's the first one I've got using the grid! (Usually, I do them on paper!) Thanks, it was fun.
Even though some of the clues were unnecessary, on the whole it was a good teaster. Bravo!
Good teaser!
Thanks!
Nice idea for a teaser. Your clues were a little repetitive. You might try making them more challenging next time. You obviously have a talent for writing teasers, so keep working on developing your skills!
Nice job! Pretty easy though with all the clues. Still, fun, fun!
i agree with jennysugars. u have a talent for writing teasers and u should keep at it. great job. i loved it!!!
I liked the story but I had most of the grid filled out by the middle of the clues. Not much deduction needed and some repetitive clues. I like the mathematical clues, though (ages are always fun) Good job overall
That was wonderful! I loved the whole thing. I was stuck until I realized I didn't carry a thought on further, which is absouloutly perfect! good job, and keep up the good work!
How Fun...Good Job...
Even with the overlapping of clues this was very pleasurable!
it was good, easy, but fun
Great teaser...pretty easy...but fun!
good but a lot of extra clues
Good Job!!!! It was really easy, but that was a welcome relief after the one with the shoes. It was like a breath of fresh air!!!!
good one.
good teaser, but half the clues were unnecessary...
THat was very well done. easy, nut it made you think, good Job!!!
Nice Teaser! The unnecessary clues made me think a little more than usual. They made me think there was more there than there actually was. Lots of fun, very creative, not too hard and not too easy, I think this is a good example of a perfect teaser!!
hey! this was a nice brain teaser! i can't help but smile with all those gambling and dating stuff! hihi! nice one! keep up!
I don't usually find grid puzzles boring, but this one was not too bad. Good Work.
i did this one pretty quick
First time through, had 3 clues tell me something I already knew by the time I got to them. Out of curiosity, tried to determine a minimum set of clues:
2/5/10/15 nail down who eats what
7/16 is enough to nail down all the ages (with a bit of thought - add 3 if you need some help, but it's not necessary)
6/8/9 and either 11 or 13 nails down the activity
So 10 clues are needed, the other 6 are redundant. Not quite the half some claimed, but still a lot of redundant clues.
