Had me fooled
A little too complex for me.
GOOD TEASER
I love it, I love it, I love it!!
Thanks everyone

Fun Teaser and I actually solved it right away which made my day 8-)
Very good. Had me fooled. I went off on a totally "turned around" direction.
the teaser's called "Look kool",and i'm giving the comment "Looks cool"!like it very much!

Thanks

Very Clever

WAY too confusing for me
... But very good teaser.

This is one of the best brain teasers!

Thanks everyone

That was great! I acutally got that one!
(feeling smart)
alrighty... mad probs for you!



The "kool" through me off until I read the hint, then I got it pretty quick. It was a good one! Nicely done dsquared

Good one but not good enough. 50% good.














I agree with didak04.
Thanks everyone... 50% good eh? So does that make it Go? ;)




I thouoght it was "look both ways @ the crossroads"... but I like it with either answer! Nice one!

I think it is awesome! Very good job. I would give it a 100% Keep them coming. I too thought it was crossroads but it works for me both ways.





This one wasn't very hard, but still fun. Nice job.

Kool teaser, didn't get crossed up one bit. Good job!
cool one














I really enjoyed this one - especially the look, kool aspect! Very creative.



Thanks you three

(50% good? whatever)
It is quite good, but i dont like your use of advertisements (in the interview topic)

Errrr. You asked me a question about which of my teasers I liked the most so I pasted it into the interview. I provided no link, just the contents. What else was I supposed to do
. I don't like what you have done with this situation. I can only hope you are joking as you have put a few smilies in your message but even with those it doesn't come across all that pleasantly.


Very excellant example of a really kool rebus .. thanks for the fun and the education on writing these! ..

Thanks Zona... didn't know I was giving lessons

What's with all the percentages.....it's not like this was a test or something.....either you liked it or you didn't...and if you didn't why bother trying to put other people down with your comments? All it amounts to is a waste of everyone's time.

...By the way great teaser...the hint gave it away...but it was still a lot of fun
...not to mention a very good lesson!!


Thanks mmmcla01

WOW! This is one of my favorites!!!!! I REALLY like this one!!!!!





Thanks Tintin
. I used to read Tintin a lot and I agree with your nickname.

i was close. i said look back and forth then cross the road
Good work Dimez, you got the gist of it

i almost got it but i came up with look around before crossing the road

Good teaser, really easy though.
I actually looked at this, didn't get it, then left. Then I looked at my computer again a few hours later and realized I had left this teaser up. My sister came in, and for some reason, I finally got it! Thanks for the fun!

Good, but pretty easy...

Very cute teaseer!

I got it but actually didn't understand it still. It wasn't till I read the answer that I realized how look both ways was represented. I was trying to figure out what Look Kool meant.
Great teaser. I really enjoyed it.
Great teaser. I really enjoyed it.




And 5 years later we are still using this rebus.YUK



i usualli write Kool with the K , it makes 'cool' look more 'Kool' [wink]
but i must say this rebus was
way too Kool !!
you formulate very creatively.
[smile]

RUDIMENTARY.
thats cool




Fun!!! Great job!! Thanks!!!




i loved it! easy as π!
get it? easy as pie? he he... he...

I so didn't get this. The hint let me figure it out, but I needed the answer to understand it. I'd say it really gave my brain a workout and that is what this is all about. Thanks.

you spelled spelled wrong... there is no such thing as spelt. www.dictionary.com told me so.
awesome teaser, though! rock on!

I barely looked at it, and the answer popped into my head, [after I read the hint] . Don't ask me how, because I couldn't tell you. I thought the answer was a very good way to explain the teaser, but I never would have thought it out so lucidly in my own head. Just knew it.


that is definitely the best one i have ever seen.

This was great...thanks.

enjoyed it, keep them coming.

That was an awesome teaser!!!!

Very nice
I liked it and it was cute
Good job!



Great teaser. Easy though. Took me under a minute. It was very creative. GREAT JOB. dsquared, what were you talking about in one of your comments? Oh, btw, spelt is correct!
Very clever.
Too bad "Look both ways before crossing the road." isn't still taught to kids these days though...

Argh!@ Once again, after reading the hint AND the answer, I wonder how I didn't get it. Too clever for my brain waves.
Loved it



That was interesting...I enjoyed that one...
Thanks! And keep up the good work!

Wow, must have been this teasers turn for TOTD again. Thanks again for all the comments.
great one!
Thanks Boo!
this was fun

Got it right away - Good one!
Very Cool!

Thank you

I was too impatient today and looked at the hint right away...gave it away. Well written!! Thanks

Yes, rebuses can be like that sometimes can't they
. Thanks


I absolutely love your rebuses (or is it rebi?)
Thanks oddrey.... yes this one has cropped up before and I think the consensus came out to rebuses. :-)
5 years later and its still a very good rebus!

I must have been asleep
I didn't even SEE Look kool
My answer was "bumps in the road"
Very clever, dsquared! Thanks!

I didn't even SEE Look kool

My answer was "bumps in the road"

Very clever, dsquared! Thanks!

took me a second to see that 'kool' was 'look' backwards, and not just another spelling of 'cool.' But after that the rest came quickly. Very nice!

Fun, fun, still easy, but fun.

I got it easily enough, but did not care too much for it.

Like the shows on TV now. Old reruns.






I almost got it. I thought it was look twice before .. . ..
Love this teaser. Cleverly written. Thanks for posting, dsquared!

Fun, easy and entertaining teaser. I got it very quickly.
