Thanks to you and all the others who make my day better with their teasers. In Norway we eat a lot of Marissas fav food but the name is rare - under 30 girls have it.
Good puzzle not too difficult but enjoyable.
Semi-difficult and enjoyable.
That one make my brain hurt. But I got it and it was sweet satisfaction.
Nice puzzle... Thank you! It makes me feel like travelling to other countries.
Thanks.
That was great. A lot of fun to work out
Not to hard, but fun none the less. Interesting topic. I enjoyed it.
Thankx a bunch. I didn't actually think that it would get accepted. I tried not to make it too hard and not too easy . I'm glad you enjoyed it. I tried not to confuse you. and it worked
that was hard. i liked it though but i didnt get it ha ha
I couldn't find a way to figure out what countries/activities Marissa and Ashley were from/liked. I had it narrowed down to Norway and India and had to guess. Other than that, very enjoyable.
