EASY BUT FUN.
EASY BUT FUN.
It was easy once I realized what to do. But I enjoyed it lots. Way to go!!!
thumbs up.....very well written out.. not to easy had to do a little thinling.. until the wife came in and said oh and gave the answer away..lol..
Too hard...
Silly me, I was thinking of an individual answer, not a group with a common answer, lol! Very god teaser, enjoyed!
I needed the hint, but then I got them all. Good teaser.
Wonderful teaser, I loved it

I'm impressed. I needed the hint to figure it out, but I thought it was a great idea for a teaser!
Brain is not working this noon. I can't say it's too early, I'm just not on the ball today.
I KNEW IT WAS FAMOUS MEN,BUT I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT PRESIDENT'S.LOL
Wow! Good one, and well, it was...
Clever

Was about to look at the hint when I noticed Woodrow Wilson (probably the easiest one), and that gave the whole game away. Very clever and fun, though.
Good Idea. Got Answer.
Thanx, too tired to write more

Ha! got it without looking at the hint. Very good, keep them coming!
It seemed impossibly difficult at first. Then pronouncing "wren,war" as "Renoir" got me off to thinking about artists, then saying each aloud and backward to "Warren"....and the jig was up! Nicely conceived puzzle!
I LOVED it!! i would have never came up with that!!! that is sooooo cool!
Almost had me. At first I was stumped, nearly gave up, but then I figured you hid within and started saying them out loud, moving one letter at a time. Once I got Truman, it was like "DUH!!!".
Thanks. I was starting to doze off there and you awoke the brain cells.

Wow, I couldn't figure out how to do this one at all, even with the hint. As soon as I read the first couple of answers though I couldn't believe that I had missed it!!! Good teaser!
The hint through me off. When i thought of a harry true man I Immeidatel thought of Abraham Licoln who had facial hare and was an honest guy. So i came to the conclusion that all of the things described Lincoln in some way or another. Oh well, I loved it anyway.
What a Fun way to help with remembering the presidents. Great one!
whoo hoo got it!! and enjoyed it!
that was ok...your pronunciation would have to be appaling to get #4 though..you list us...
Very interesting and fun teaser! Pretty easy though but still a very good one!!
Very clever!
It was a nicee one
Really good teaser. One of my favs.
Ho Hum, another old repeat.
grrr, doehead--I'd never seen it before!
Before that detour, I was going to say: I never looked at the hint or even the answer b/c it was easy-peasy but way fun! I got it from yard rich, son nick, and the rest fell quickly into place. Very enjoyable; congrats!!

Great teaser!
Good one!
Didn't need to look at the hint

Australian Prime minister..

You-List-Us Grant? "Sees lice you" would have been closer, but still a bit iffy.
I agree with spikeplus4
Ahhh didn't think of that. I agree Ulysses Grant was a little bit of a stretch but overall it's a really nice teaser.
Interesting teaser. I saw it with Harry Truman right away so found the puzzle quite easy to figure out. I did not read hint until after I solved it and glad I did not as it would have given it away immediately.
Much 2 ez.
I had fun with this one!! Thanks!
W/O hint IMPOSSIBLE..no point of reference
Couldn't stop thinking of Neanderthals.....
I was stumped, but once I read the hint, it was easy! It was also quite enjoyable. Thanks for a fun brain exercise!
Astounding ....
ABSOLUTELY astounding.
It is 50 am (USA-CST) and there are only TWO persons signed on to Braingle.
(one is me and the other is my brother; BadBunnee02)
THIS astounding TOTD had TWELVE comments when introduced in 2005 and had TWENTY-NINE comments when it returned in 2007.
That's ASTOUNDING !!!!
We (bro and I) are betting it won't get more than three or four this time !!
That's ASTOUNDING !!!!
Go look at ALL the most recent NEW teasers (especially go look those of you who are griping about repeats) and you will note they get - usually - fewer than two or three comments ....
Most don't get ANY !!!!
Is that ASTOUNDING ????
Possibly. It certainly is sad, sad, sad.
Braingle is dying and nobody (well, nobody except one or two, maybe) seems to really care.
Astounding, really astounding !!!!

Read and reread them, nothing made sense. Decided to read one backward, BINGO!! Presidents names! High 5's self! and I didn't even look at the clues!! Gonna be a good day!
Loved this one! Some I struggle with, but this puzzle was easy for me to solve. Thanks for a good one.
Thanks to all our service men and women!!!

Got it. I didn't see it at first glance, then all of a sudden I saw it. Fun!
Little green man was wrong. There were 5 comments. Very easy.
Great fun teaser, thanks!
As an Aussie, it took me a little while, but I managed to solve it without the hint.
Thumbs down to the "Bunny-Bunch"!

Fun and entertaining teaser; I got them all very quickly.
EXCELLENT teaser! One of my faves. Took a while, but got it. And bravo to the Aussie who got it. That's impressive. Too bad that was years ago, and now nobody comments anymore.
one of my favs, fun teaser!
