First comment on a very clever teaser! Good job! I enjoyed this one.
I still don't get it ....
i don't get it either . . .
hahaha...... i actually got it!!!! (i think)....
Whaaaa???!
To try and explain it a little better. What are all the things down the left hand side? Then the column on the right, what does it read downwards? 1/8 of a byte - which equals?... a bit. Reading left to right, the column on the right is 'behind' the column on the left.
Sorry. Even after explanation 2 I still don't get it??!!
This rebus made me want to go read a hex dump.. I have a feeling I'm at least a few bytes behind the times!
????????????
This is great, it's a while since I've stumped this many people!
For once, you didn't stump me! Great teaser! Now, does anybody know what time it is?
Bah... but of course Froggy, trust you to be in your own little group as one of the ones who managed to get it!
Actually if you read Left to Right as you say and as we should, "a bit" would come "after" the times...as you'd read the times first and the downward column second or afterwards. I didn't like this one...for that reason only. Otherwise good teaser.
It's a shame you didn't like it for that reason as with any teaser or riddle often synonyms or different meanings for words can be thrown around to solve the puzzle. You have stated it correctly reads after so well done you got that far in solving it. If you look here http://thesaurus.reference.com/search?q=behind you will see that behind and after are closely related synonyms and therefore fit the teaser perfectly. Thanks for pointing that out
i didnt git it after all the explanations u told
Sure to be one of my fav's. great thinking there!!!!!!
majority rules.....
i don't get it either.
i don't get it either.
Thanks Shabz. Oh and Jimmy, I did a quick count and including myself in the people who get it (because I think I do ) it's actually 7/7 for those that didn't and those that did. So there is no majority
