Hooray I finally figured one of the "difficult" teasers out! Nice idea!
Nice combination of ideas. Haven't seen those palindromes beofre.
That was a great teaser. I would like to see more like that.
way too hard for me!
to hard
DAM'N!!!! H-A-R-D D-R A-H

WOOOOOOOOOOOO PHUHCN WOOOOOOOOOOOO I GOT A HARD ONE WOOOOOOOOOOOO PHUHCN WOOOOOOOOOOOOO YAY
hard but very fun
Very difficult. Nice work!
Too haard for me.
Should have a very hard rating I coildn't figure it out but that didn't make it less fun.
Very hard. Too much for me to handle at 70 am. Will be interested to see how many have the same reaction. Thanks for posting this mind scrambling teaser.
Wow! It took me a minute to even figure out what kind of hint racecar was.
2HARD4ME!!!!!!!!!! nice teaser, i guess though
Way over my head...and the hint only confused me more I spent a long time trying to make sensible sentences as opposed to palindromic (?) phrases BUT - the brilliance to come up with something like this is incredible.
Great Teaser!!!!! A bit hard, but so much the better cuz last teasers were increasingly simple.
Too hard for me. Tried to use racecar as the thing they had in common, and got nowhere.
My goodness I have a headache...and still never figured it out though it was good it was a bit hard
I started out slow but finished it in the end. All three right this time.
Thanks for the teaser.
Monday~
Thanks for the teaser.

No idea where to start on this one
I agree with the majority. It was a difficult teaser and the sentences made very little sense also. I could not see myself coming up with sentences like that. Sorry. not to my liking.
Hello Habs.
Hello Habs.
Tough one but workable, (with the hint).
Happy Friday!
Happy Friday!
Though it is still before 6AM here, I am not sure I can use that as an excuse for not getting the answer.
I have seen all these sentences before when learning about palindromes in school many eons ago, but as they are mostly nonsensical, would never have come up with them.
There are sentences that make a lot more sense that are also palidromes:
Madam, I'm Adam. Eva, can I see bees in a cave?
Was it a car or a cat I saw?
Ma is as selfless as I am.
As I pee, sir, I see Pisa.
Was it Eliot's toilet I saw?
And of course:
Doc, note I dissent. A fast never prevents a fatness. I diet on cod

Hi Babe, hope all is well with you.
Hello to everyone else as well on this crisp cool morn
Hello to everyone else as well on this crisp cool morn
Not a clue, even when I read the hint. Now my head hurts. Going back to bed.
Didn't have a clue.
When I noticed SAW/WAS and TEN/NET, I figured it had to be palindromes and worked it out from there. Great teaser! I gave it top marks.
Congratulations, MarcM for solving this one., It was a good one, but I had no clue. Happy weekend, all!
For those who liked it, I am glad you did. For those whose heads now hurt, I am sorry. Check out some of my other ones. Thanks.
