i got it! yay!
good job...
Fun to do a teaser containing characters I know of and love! Way cool!
I liked it very much because of the characters. It was very easy though as I only had to read the clues once. Well written, but easy.
Fun! Fun! Fun! Loved the whole "Harry Potter" theme! Good job! First one to my favorites!
yay!!! I LOVE HARRY POTTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and your teaser too.
From one Harry Patter Fan to another.."Brilliant" !!!
i love this (partly cuz i LOVED the theme hehe) it took me a while becuz it was the green one that got the speaking spell and i had ron, hermione, and hagrid left to that cud have green..but i knew the spells hermione and hagrid did so that helped me piece it together. im stupid..but it was brilliant...yay!
o ya, also going into my favs!
Very fun! Not too difficult, but it took awhile to complete. Good job!
The primary color clue was confusing - as either red or green cn be primary colors depending on the color space you're working in.
great teaser...keep it up
Love those logic puzzles!!
I'snt this copywrite violation or something?
Loved it.
Loved this, and loved that you put that Neville screwed up his spell. These Harry Potter teasers always crack me up Well done.
i really like this brain teaser. it took quite a while but i got it right. it felt like a task that i completed successfully. thanks for that
Once again, isn't this copywrite violation? You are using items and characters thought up by somebody else, for your own bennefit, without their permission.
It's just a bit of fun. What possible benefit could there be? It is not like there is any financial gain in submitting a teaser.
Get real Copyright violation indeed by the way look again the note tells you that green is NOT a primary color it is a mixture of yellow and blue which ARE primary color Good job of writing it!!!!
Extreme fun! ..Though I didn't need clue 8 or the "..where the orange bean had gone" part of clue 7.
one of my favorites!
Someone else added the primary colour thing to my teaser! I was always told that blue red and yellow were the only primary colours, and I assumed that everyone else was taught the same thing. They are primary because you can make other colours with them, but they can not be made from other colours. Wow i just confused myself. No. I'm good!
green can be a primary color, if we're talking bout colors of light(blue, red, green). if it is the material color u use to paint, then there comes yellow.
I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan and think this teaser was great!
(If anybody wants to know a site where you can be a Hogwarts student online send me an e-mail) (on this site) (I made it) But I will be adding this teaser 2 my favs!

I got Ron and Hagrid's beans mixed up, but afterwards I read through and realized what I did wrong. XD
Nice puzzle, and I love the Harry Potter element added to it.

Those flavors made me feel queasy!
Good teaser!
Miyukina: Green is NOT a primary color. A primary color is one that CANNOT be made from any other color. Since green is made from yellow and blue, it is not primary. Primary colors are Red, Blue, & Yellow ONLY!.

Great teaser and really easy!
Ewwww! No wonder they only took one bean each.
Fun teaser... not too hard and not too easy. Loved it.!

dreamlvr, you are incorrect, Primary colors in additive color mixing are red, green and blue. (Thus the RGB monitor).Color tv and monitors emit red, green and blue to create multiple colors.
In subtractive color mixing, using paints, dyes and pigments which absorb frequencies of light instead of emitting, primary colors are red, blue and yellow. But not even exclusively. Cyan, magenta, yellow are also primary colors.
But to say that any one color is a primary color is an incomplete statement. Primaries must be introduced as a group and within the context of their technology (additive/subtractive). Cyan, magenta, and yellow are primaries within the context of subtractive mixing. But they are secondaries in the context of additive mixing.
But in the context of jelly beans, your guess is as good as mine
lots more info on the web, but miyukina is mostly correct.
