Why do they (or you) put in hints that totally ruin the teaser? Kind of defeats the purpose, you know?
AT first I was like, ???????????????. Then I got it.
cool!
I had to read the hint b4 I could understand the answer! It's a good teaser, though. Good work!
same here had to read the hint b4 i understood the answer...great teaser though
I said 'none', because nobody would name their kid the name 'after him'. I didn't check the hint. Cute
I still don't get it... I think I might just go to bed.
How do you know all American males have been named?
could someone please explain?
The teaser is saying that all males who were born after George Washington were given names after Washington was given his.
good teaser and i really enjoyed it and u almost had me fooled...for the people confused it sez named after him not people given the same name as him so everyone was given a name after he was born but it does not specify they are given the name george which is the trick here
Why only males?
^^For the sake of the teaser, man. It wouldn't have been tricky at all if they included females. Durr.
Oh you got me! Great teaser!
Fun teaser
U should realy put explanations into ur teasers 4 ppl who don't understand. I mean, I understand bcuz the hint basically gives it away, but 4 future reference. But cool teaser besides that little issue.
I dont get it. Could someone PM explain me?
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser. I got it very quickly and did not need any hints. Very easy to get based on the wording. All boys that came after George Washington were born and given their names after him (not named for him).
