so easy...I think any1 wif a functional brain can eventually figure this out..
oh i get it
logic...
I didn't get it at first, but I don't think it's very nice to say that your teaser's "pretty easy". It might not be to some people. Just a tip.
how did they all get the ball if only one bought it i guess because they are a team?
I thought that the green one bought the golf ball becase you play golf on a green court and the red one bought the volly ball becase your arms get red sometimes after playing vollyball. But igusse i theought to litteral
erm.................u said ONE BOUGHT A VOLLYBOLL, the other two just left without ne thing
Wait just a minute! If you can get a teaser this easy, yet confusing, into here, how come none of my 10 teasers I've tried to enter got through? I HATE THOSE STUPID EDITORS!!!!
well, calling them stupid will sure get one of them in
Since some say it was easy, I guess that makes me dumb because I didn't come up with the answer. I caught the fact that two of them "wanted" and only one "bought". So, how did they all end up buying a volleyball?
Yeah, I made a few uh-ohs on that one! Sorry!
Like any will go in anyways. I've already submitted 10 teasers, all which I tested a hundred times with my family and friends, and they still turned them down? Why? Because they were cryptogram and rebus teasers. I had them in the right thing, it's just "you misspelled too many words"... Does anybody know how to make a cryptogram without "misspelling" words?
This is fun

EAST PEEZY thouguh good and fun.
i would have got it if it weren't for the fact you said 1 bought a volleyball
Too darn easy! Give me more!
OK, Hold my hand and walk me through this one slowly - It seems to me that only ONE of them has a volleyball because only ONE of them BOUGHT a volleyball. So how to we get to ALL of them having a volleyball? Are they sharing? Neither Teaser nor answer indicates this. Did EACH buy a volleyball? (Three volleyballs purchased?) Neither Teaser nor answer indicates this, either. What the other two WANTED is window dressing and misdirection - I get that. But which one actually exchanged cash for a v-ball and now has ownership of it? I don't think we have enough info to determine that. Or am I being hopelessly dense?
I think that I am probably a bit stupid, but, I have no idea what that teaser is supposed to mean.
I didn't get it. Oh well. Anyways, what are all of these dumb people trying to make peace 4? They allready wrote down their comments and anything you say (Unless you have a genie or a fairy handy) is not going to change them. DUH!
ha ha ha!
I thought the red shirted one got the golf ball because he was wearing red like Tiger Woods.
okay you said ONE bought a volleyball in that case only one can buy one get ur brain teasers straight!
I share most of the previous opinions.
too many controversial comments..
The question wasn't which one BOUGHT the volleyball it was which one GOT the volleyball. Due to the fact that there is no way to determine which one bought it, you have to assume they all are sharing it. It's the only way to answer it.
It said ONE of them bought a vollyball so how could all of them get one... did they share it?
this isnt logic, and it says ONE, maybe if you said which players get which objects then maybe that would have been simpler for some
i also agree with froggy because i got the same thing......
i didnt get it either and im not completely stupid.
this is a fallible teaser, good luck next time

if ONE player buys the volleyball then not ALL of them can have it
if only one person bought the volleyball, then only a maximum of two people can "have" it at any one time (unless someone else pays money later). one person can "have" it (as in own it) and one person can "have" it (as in is currently possessing it), but the third person is left out. my guess was that the person with the volleyball was the person who had the volleyball (although maybe the other two stole one each...)
This is confusing...your answer is wrong. You said ONE bought a volleyball. Then how can the answer be ALL of them.
Yeah.. like the other said, ONE... ("1"!!) bought a volleyball, but if all of them bought volleyballs, then there would be THREE. Hmm?
Bad teaser... bad....
That made no sense.... it was stupid!
Lol that made me chuckle I was thinking the yall "got" a volleytball cause they all play volleyball. Not 'got' but got as in have one. Lol that made me laugh at myself.
I agree with kukmiester
I didn't understand it except ONE person bought a volleyball and two WANTED something. The only thing can think of is they all share the name ONE or is one person but then what they were wearing wouldn't need to be there. NE ways I DON"T GET IT
you're not very specific because even though one wanted a golf club, he/she could have gotton it. same with the other. we only KNOW that 1 got a volleyball. the answer could have been 1. stupid teaser.
ok, how can three ppl buy a volleyball when u said only one bought a volleyball? ...
but you only said one..............
They could have shared one volleyball so only one person bought it.
threes a crowd
get off my cloud
one bought the ball
to share with all
quit your complaining

Nice Schatzy!!! and I agree!!!
I agree with about 99% of the above comments...I gave no vote for difficulty
(how can a wrong teaser have difficulty?)
(how can a wrong teaser have difficulty?)
I like the poem, and agree with the dude7 guy person, but I don't get why the person who made it made it wrong and still submitted it. What ever . ok. I'm new. I'm lonely. I can't do anything for THREE days. I have two days to wait. I've make a talk box and the person i've invited won't come-on! Wait, maybe I should put it on public. what do you guys say? Write Back!
This teaser makes no sense. It says ONE bought the volleyball. It never stated the other two got any. So how can you say ALL of them have the volleyball? And Elucidator92, please don't insult us. Also, you don't need to be an editor to review teasers for your information, you just need to have 500 points. Oh, and Trickster1992, by 'misspelling' a word on a cryptogram, we mean you did the cryptography wrongly. Cool poem schatzy28!!! Yes, youngz, go public if you want more people in your talkbox.
I also think this is VERY confusing. But I went back and reread it, and I think it means that they all have a volleyball, because they are volley-ball players.......maybe? I don't know. Someone help me...
"..and ONE bought a volleyball." You have answered YOUR OWN teaser incorrectly. May I say enough from the bleeding hearts who flip out whenever anyone leaves a comment that is in anyway critical? Grow up...get tough, this ain't a daycare. If it's a lame teaser, someone needs to say so.
I'm not sure I got this. Since they're all volleyball players, it makes sense to assume they were all buying volleyballs, but nothing in the body of the teaser actually stated or suggested that. It's also a little puzzling as to why they would be buying equipment for other sports; of course, they have every right to play more than one sport, but in that case, the fact that they are all volleyball players probably isn't as significant. Also, are the colors mentioned simply for distinction or do they serve symbolic purposes (ie. one of the colors is an internationally recognized volleyball color). It's a nice teaser but with some questionable gaps.
sry, not that good of a teaser
I got it but you still don't know which one got it cause it said ONE got the volleyball, so ALL of them couldn't have. It was a good teaser but it didn't make sence if you were lookking for that.
And anyway, for my comment above, if they were volleyball players, why did the other two want to buy a cricket ball or a golf club. Still, I comment you for a good teaser.
????????????? I don't get it. BAAAAAAAD teaser
