I liked that one. Not too hard, but not super easy, either. Good job!
It is way past my bedtime so I did not have the time to try. It is one of those that takes some time to figure out. Sorry friends!
I got every one except tourniquet. I thought newtons measured effort, not torque.
Fun, challenging and entertaining teaser. I got 4/5. I also could not get tourniquet.
I also didn't get tourniquet. It was nice to see a new teaser today! Another good one cnmne! Keep them coming!
I was intimidated by these early on, but learned that the effort put into solving them is rewarded. This is the first that I rated as "easy", but I did have to ponder "torque" for a moment. Some of these have very funny answers. This set seemed a little more abstract. Still very fun.
Clever, enjoyable word teaser. I, too, had to think a bit about tourniquet. I knew the "qu" had to stay together, so I looked for words containing those letters.
Fun and entertaining teaser. It took awhile but this time I got all five.
