I liked this one; I never would have gotten it though...
Nice one Smarty!
You would have to have it read to you out loud for it to make sense, but it was good.
Very very nice, got a laugh.
Afterthought; I just realised I had a vague memory of seeing this before, which I confirmed with a quick google. Still, good one.
OHHHH!!!! i just got it...wow im special
I never thought that the king or queen would sail the boat, therefore the captain would have been the 3rd person. Oh well, I liked your answer.
when i first heard it i thought it was the captin too.
at frist when i saw this i thought man this is east cuz i thought that they went out one night not with a night so i said captian king and queen.
Very Very good and also hard.
Very Very good and also hard.
Better if spoken, but good all the same. Well Done!
hummph
very easy
This one works only if I assume you flunked both spelling and grammar, since, to be fair,(and grammatically correct) you would have written, " One knight, a king,and a queen ...
OK, I admit it - I fell for your trick

GOOD 1 i accualy got it right!! but i like it good 1 keep them coming

I had to read the hint, but did get it. nice one!!!
Good and hard had to read clue
this is the BEST one I have seen so far
Without the hint a bit of a challenge, but with it too easy.
Made me laugh. Thanks
good one
cool
nice one, but im sure most of has heard it sometime or the other
YESS! I GOT IT, THANKS TO THE HINT! it was good! keep'em comin!
IT WAS GOOD... I GOT AM LITTLE LAUGH OUT OF IT. I HAD THOUGHT IT WAS THE CAPTAIN BUT I DIDNT READ THE HINT.
hehehe... cute
I GOT IT!!! I fell kinda smart haha
Ha! I like it. I thought it was the king, queen, and driver of the boat, and was like, wow, that was easy...until i clicked on the answer. This is a better one for saying out loud, because it doesn't matter how you spell it! Love it!
Ha Ha! that was sooooo funny. keep up the good work and dont listen to the nasty comments cause' your teaser was great
If you hadn't put the hint, i would have never gotten this! good one.
okay!
I got it without the hint, but it is better if spoken instead of read. Without the hit, one would assume that the question was written correctly, and so it wouldn't make sense.
i didnt like the fact that to get it you have relise theres a spelling mistake
Easy, but really cute!
I agree it is much better said aloud, since it really does mean the time this way, without the k.
EZ
This was good. Probably better if it's read to you, though.
Very nice, though.
Very nice, though.
Agree with comments above, this is a great teaser only if said aloud to friends. Otherwise the point is missed by anyone who can spell.
it was very fun, but it was ez i loved it!!!!
I agree w/ all of you but I thought it ws clever and wanted too put it on Braingle
Good one!
Yes that would definitely make more sense when read out loud. nice quiz
Made me laugh! Thanks!!!
It is a good teaser but you can't get it without the hint.
This has to be spoken to work, IMO. Night does not equal knight.
But good teaser, nonetheless.
But good teaser, nonetheless.
Too easy, but ok..
Got it!
