Nice job as usual. Had to think on a couple of these, but finally got through the whole group. More please.
good stuff
That was a good one. Gave my brain a little workout.. Got all but the last one.
good one.
I must be stupid. 'To sleep lightly' I thought was 'nap'.
As you can tell by my handle, I enjoyed that! The first 3 I got very easily; the last I had to ponder a few seconds. Fun!!
Right in my wheelhouse...so, easy! I loved it. The instructions were a little muddy, I thought.
Good one! Couldn't think of the last one though...fun!
I like puzzles in this format. A bit complex - at times - but the challenge just adds to the fun.
I rated it tops for fun. Thanks for the creativity and the work-out.
And thanks to everyone else for your comments. I hope you voted also. Please do so.

Lest we get overly bored with the "repeats" of TOTD (Teaser-Of-The-Day) - what you are looking at, here - the LEB* will now introduce ...
The ...
RE-BUSTER
... which is a second-class language puzzle which didn't "make the cut" (editorially) in a language-puzzle website somewhere (certainly NOT Braingle).
The first Re-Buster has already been introduced (several weeks back).
This was it (in mock "rebus" format):

Several attempts were made for an answer, with only one Braingler (eighsse) coming close.
It is eighsse's option whether to reveal his guess here, in this thread.
The CORRECT answer is:
________________
a black eye ("black i")
________________
There was also a "bonus" question related; "What would make it impossible to get the correct answer" ... and the answer to THAT would be .....
... having a screen set to show any text color except black.
NEXT RE-BUSTER ... coming up !!!

Fun even though I only got 3/4. Had no clue on #4.
Good teaser.
BBO2- I am not sure whether you suffer from A.D.D. or are you just a DRAMA QUEEN?

Doodler ... Is this a multiple-choice test or could I do both?
We (I and my two "associates") got word today we are "cleared to go" to NZ and begin the project.
So I might be a bit busy for the next few days and unable to post ....
(is that MASS cheering I hear in the background???)
Actually ... "posting" is not the problem. The "company" I work for has its servers, routers, mains entirely "in the cloud" now so we can virtually "be" anywhere at any time.
Electronically / digitally speaking that is ... of course .....
Physically I am still tied to the flesh-and-blood corpus that surrounds my fervid brain. Alas, poor me.
So ... don't fret, doodle-bunny. Where you THINK I am ... I might be ... and then .......

Here is my comment on the teaser:
I got 1, 2 and 3 very quickly, # 4 not so much.

I had no trouble with the first 3, the fourth one was a little harder to figure out. A good one as usual cnmne, looking forward to more.
Me too. For #4 I had Task, Mask, um... uh oh...
Terrific teaser.
