How do you solve part of a teaser(the second part), get stumped by the first, (though bearing the same principle, but is cleverly hidden), and still have lots of fun?..... Easy, let GRIPHOOK write it!!!! Glad this made it.
Thank you COD. What did you say about honesty again?
I think you two should get a hotel room.....
(LOL), Two like us in the same room??? We'd Start a Brain Teaser Convention, and take over the hotel in about a day!
This one was a bit tricky 'till i saw the answer. Then it seemed so simple.
Just wondering, sunnyfunny, do you have something permanently stuck up you butt? I thought it was great, I was stumped, but when I saw the answer, I was like "Why didn't I think of that!"
thank you sunnyfunny. I made that decision a couple of months back. Now is your chance.
Wow! I feel horribly superior. I got this one in 15 seconds flat!
Nice puzzle, though.

Erm. Sunnyfunny - what do you mean by the more advanced users? Griphook has submitted over 50 great puzzle, with an average popularity of over 2 (why there's a smiley face). If Griphook isn't advanced then who is? BTW, great teaser. I got the second bit but somehow didn't get the first )

great job griphook... i usually read the teaser.. try to figure it out... and if its one that stumps me ... i always look to see who submitted it... 90% of the times it you... But i got this one..lol.. but congrats on a job well done....
how would you take over a hotel in one day with a brain teaser convention? I think you people take brain teasers too seriously around here.
That was an easy one, Grip. And a little tragic (by teh killing of the Rabbi), but as a teaser a good one.
It must have been easy, i actually got it!!!!!
thanks guys. i had to change the second part to make this work. sorry to disappoint. smile
great teaser, though i must say, the clue was in the title the whole time
you are absolutely right
well yes the killing of the rabbi is a rather sad ending, however we must remember he was a terrorist only IMPERSONATING a rabbi...so no loss...LoL
well said
Someday, when I grow up, I hope to come with some good teasers like yours. To actually write a teaser good enough to get passed... While I must continue to dream, you my friend are the real deal! LOL
i am sure you will... and many thanks
Good one. Isn't Counter Strike a name of that game with the terrorists and the shooting?
yes you are right... CounterStrike is that challenging game
Great one! Out of curiosity, why would a terrorist (who, these days, tends to be an Islamic X-tremist, no offense to the Islamic non-Xtremists out there) impersonate a Rabbi (who, last I checked, was Jewish)? I guess that is just one of the unanswered questions of life
i dont have an answer to that but profiles in that business
Adorable

Fun teaser, though I really hope CIA codes are tougher!
beyond any shadow of doubt
