I liked this one as well.
Thank you
Fantastic!
Thanks rose
I like this puzzle!! hope there's more like this in future!! (:
Got the first 2 easily, but the last 2 were beyond me.
Another good one Jazz. Keep them coming.
Fun one!!
Easy, but fun! The tense of "joking" doesn't quite agree with the tense of the answer, but it gets the point across.
Cool teaser.
Good one - thanks.
got 3 right, last one stumped me..... joking= banter??
Awesome!! I didn't get even one of them but it was fun trying!
not today--too confusing
Very nice, but still need coffee to understand!!
Oh man, I could not get #2 or #4!
Thanks for the great brain workout, Jazzy!
Thanks for the great brain workout, Jazzy!
I liked this one, everything just fell into place in my mind, so it seemed easy. I couldn't tell if that flag is NZ or AUS, (could't tell if it has the six stars for AUS or just 4 for NZ) but either way you only have to wait another four years for a chance at winning the rugby worldcup, but England or France will be in the final in a couple of weeks, hopefully England !
Nice and not too difficult !!!
Would like to see more like this as well..

This was a fun teaser, and I enjoyed it. Thanks, Jazz.
I dont really this one.
Wow I loved this one Should have tried harder on #4 But loved the concept and the teaser
Fun teaser! As to "joking" and "banter" it doesn't have to involve a quiestion of tense. I would call them nouns as in "There was a lot of good-natured joking (banter) going on at the party."
I really enjoyed this one.
Nice one. I didn't know "listed" could be used like that, so I couldn't answer the third one.
great teaser, thanks for giving it to us
good one.. i agree...banter is a noun...but i guessed and got it...#3 stumped me... listed, tilted?...rattle almost got me too except it was the only thing that rhymed with cattle...guessed and got it right... otherwise a good mind-boggler
Thanks guys, I'm glad you enjoyed working on this teaser.
Yorkshire...I don't mind a bit of banter, especially when it comes to us knocking the socks off you guys at the cricket!

Really good teaser
That one was very enjoyable. I got them all with after a little brain fart.
Thanks for the teaser.
Monday~
Thanks for the teaser.

Thanks guys
Very good teaser. I didn't find it very hard to figure out. I liked it cuz it was just right. Took me about 10 minutes to get all 4 of them.
Couldn't get #3...great teaser! Thanks!
Thanks for this teaser, jazz! I got 2 & 3 right away, and got the first one when I was no longer rattled! The last I would have gotten if I'd had 10 min. at that time, but I didn't! Satisfied anyway!
Great teaser! Keep 'em coming
Did not get them all, but it was a fun one!
Hooray! Had to think a bit; I like that!
I got two of them. Thanks for a good one - I was just too impatient today!
Very well written, and it was fun, thanks Jazz!
Kudos for the excellent instructions!
Kudos for the excellent instructions!
Excellent teaser. Very creative and for the most part, well thought out. I qualify that statement because of #4. The tenses of joking and banter don't align, and the similarities of the two words is a bit obscure. Bargain and barter is also a bit of a stretch, so to put both in the same one really made it difficult, for reasons other that just "difficulty", if that makes sense.
But I stand by my initial comment that this was a really good one!

Nice! Original. Just challenging enough to be fun. Very creative.
