I guess I am not as smart as most people working these. I only got one. the rest were hard, as the clues were hard to figure out for me. Sorry!
I only managed to get one answer. Very difficult teaser.
So far I've doubled the others. I got two.
easy; got them all...but I'm not sure about the definition for 'net'
Very creative puzzle.

Cute Jayc. I only got 2, but my mind is slow today. It was hard.
I got all four. The second one was the hardest. I think they should have gone with another clue for it.
I got the first two without too much trouble. The third one took me a long time to finally figure out. I didn't get the last one at all. This was a tough one.
Fun and easy teaser; I got three of them right away and the last with the hint.
All solved; although the last clue could have been: a distance?
A fun filled exercise, thank you Marc!
