VY
The challenge: With a pen, draw a line to make something small and circular.
VY
The challenge: With a pen, draw a line to make something small and circular.
Hint
Only drawing a line will not help you. Remember, you must draw a line with a PEN. Nothing else will work except a PEN.Answer
Draw a line slanting down from the V to make:NY
After that, write the word PEN next to the NY to make PENNY. Remember, the teaser said to draw a line with a PEN; in other words, draw a line and write the word PEN.

good trick.
Eh.
that was fun!
ummmm.................
meh....
Ha ha I get it! I love these
HMMMM. I'm not really sure about this one. I have a hard time with this one because of the way it was worded - draw a line to make something small and circular. Now if you had said use a pen to make something small and circular I could buy it. Sorry.
Yeah ... I don't think it's worded to give the answer merit. To be honest, it said draw a line to make something circular (it didn't mention you had to include the VY, so I just drew a small circle - using, obviously, one line.
one line does not make one circle.
I believe that one line can make something "small and circULAR"
Last time I checked a penny wasn't a circle either.
(then again I'm Canadian)

You did a fine job, regardless of what the peenut gallery says!
Tricky!
blechk.
despite the deplorable wording i did attempt it and did exactly what katiejayn did. Sorry. this one didn't do it for me.

Yeah... the whole object of trick is to make something SEEM harder than it really is. So I drew a small circle using one line, because it wasn't stated that we had to use the VY.
Other than that small wording issue, it was a good teaser

Funny!!
that was hard!
Or you could use an icepick and jam it in your eye.
.....huh?
Wording scrambled my brain
who would have guessed that?
that was a good one. i thought your hint meant to write pen on top of the NY.
you needed better wording!
HA ha! That got me!!!
Shouldn't it be draw a line with a pen, not "with a pen, draw a line"?
Sorry but that wasn't good . . . I could have just drawn a circle next to the VY cuz its one line and small no one said it had to be connected
A line is straight.
correction.
a line is a connection between 2 dots. doesn't need to be straight. there goes a crooked line.
and.. circles are made of one line.
btw, nice teaser. i think it's better to be oral than written in a screen. try it with your friends.

You can't write "PEN" with A line. Especially because, as limited humans, we can't draw lines. They extend infinitely in a straight line. A line segment yes, but we would have needed 8 of those and 1 arc for this'n.
This teaser is pretty good, but without the hint - forget it, at least for me.
