... Or Tobias could be clairvoyant ??? Cute teaser but too easy as presented. you need to obfuscate your clues with excess verbage - as in "The Purloined Letter" -hide them in plain sight.
pretty good. wat duz clairevoyant mean?
Cool if you dont notice that he has an OLDER brother which i didnt notice
This was a pretty simple. No, extremely simple. Also, the title completely gives it away.... I don't see why it was accepted.. Next time make it more difficult.
Finally a good teaser. It is just too bad that it is so easy that it is impossible to not get it...
too simple
That was too easy! I got it in like 2 seconds, if i didnt the title would have given the answer away
Easy like pie ;)
Can't believe I didn't get that
wow. im from Canada and that took me all of 2 seconds.
Amazing I got it. lol
I skimmed and didn't get it.
The whole "Older Brother" gives it away.
Riti: It was simple. LITA skimmed and didn't get it.
Lita: Hey! I wasn't paying attention!
Riti: DUH, I said you were 'skimming'.

i got this so fast!!
too easy. clairvoiant = psychic.
what he was a younger twin with an unusual memory?
what if he was a younger twqin with an amazing memory?
mepapa, how could he remember anything on that day if he's not even there?
It says he was watching the fireworks. If he's a twin, he'll still be a baby just born... I seriously doubt the nurses would let a newborn baby watch fireworks.

ya never know...sumone coulda held the baby near the window, and he looked out and saw the fireworks...
anyway, great teaser!! i thought it was fun!

I love this one. I Read it before I had an account, and love it now! Easy, but awesome!
lololol I didnt get it at first!!!
I STILL like it! I emailed it to all my friends!
In tagalog, this would be less conspicous. "older brother" is represented by one word, and it's easily overlooked.
This teaser would be more difficult if spoken, right?

too easy
JZmun is right... This'll be too easy in tagalog..

I got it but he still could've remembered a later birthday celebration for his brother.
The older brother has a birthday every year. The younger brother could be remembering fireworks on any one of them...right?
Wrong. If you read carefully, the second sentence "I remember THE DAY...", refers to the day the brother was born, as mentioned in the first sentence. You have to read the whole thing carefully.
It would be clearer if the second sentence reads "I remember THAT day...", but unfortunately, there's no way for me to changed it.
Funny.. I can't believe I didn't get that... But then again I don't pay much attention to the title..
This was too easy. No fun.
Awesome! Hard but fun
Pretty fun, but waaaaay too easy.
that was too easy, dude!
fun
really easy though
really easy though
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A scrooch gun must have been involved.
