that was pretty cool. didn't get it but liked it anyway
eh, didn't get it, but loved it any way.
I don't understand the code. It wasn't a direct letter-number substitution. . .
tut tut you should get people to know the code
don't get it
I have no idea how to even vote for this one. I DON'T get it. I am sure that once someone explains it I will say "Oh, I get it...what an idiot I am for not seeing that", but as of now, I am totally in the dark. Can somebody help me out so I know how to vote for this one???
THUD! I have no idea what this means. I'm very confused Please explain it to me
I didn't get this right but then I don't do many of these. Lips, maybe a hint next time to start us off in the right direction? Thanks for giving us a nice teaser to puzzle over though!
Nevermind, I finally get it...no need to explain. The numbers represent the place the letter holds in the word ENVELOPE...right? I don't see how anyone could have possibly solved this one without some kind of hint.
Oh, by the way, I don't feel like an idiot after all for not seeing that. I would have never gotten it without looking at the answer anyway. I think the true teaser was trying to figure out what the answer meant.
**I double posted...oh well!
**I double posted...oh well!
i totally didn't get it. i never would have gotten it if i hadn't read the post. good teaser, but we needed some kind of hint.
now the answer iz?
Huh??????
I have to retract my previous statement. I was looking at it more as cryptography. As mentioned above, the numbers represent the position of each letter in the solution word. This is the "other" catagory, after all. Good job, lips!
i call bologna on this one
I understood the concept, but, I didn't think of those answers. Very nice teaser. Keep it up.
i am sorry but i actually don't understand this one AT ALL!!!! will somebody explain it to me please?
I need to sit down, my poor head is aching.
For all you confused people...
There is a word with 8 letters:
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
7-6-5-8 is POLE: _ _ _ _ LOPE
5-6-3-4 is LOVE: _ _ VELOPE
7-1-2 is PEN: ENVELOPE
The last clue is extra for people who couldn't figure out one of the above.
Get it now? There are more like this one on the site.
