This teaser is split into two sections. The first part requires you to take the letters "ST" and add a word to make a two-word phrase. Example: "A Drink Past Its Sell-By Date" would be "Stale Ale." You start with "ST" and add the word "ale."

3. Hide the Signs of Fire
The second part requires you to do nearly the opposite. Create a two-word phrase by using the same word and adding a "P" to the end. Example: "Backstroked Through the Marsh" would be "Swam Swamp." You start with the word "Swam" and add the letter "P."
4. An Incline for Sheep

These are two teasers in one! Really fun and different! good Teasers!
LTSA FUN!!!
Neat teaser! I hereby award you a STeel Eel, a medal for slippery thinking.
awesome teaser
Very awesome. I couldn't get the last one.
Great brain exerciser! Thanks for the workout!!!
I don't know why, but the second set seemed easier than the first set. Perhaps, it was the "signs of fire" and "mountains" that didn't ring any bells.

Only could answer 2 /3 of it, really fun teaser. Would like to see of the like.
Fun and easy !!
I enjoyed that. The first part was easier for me than the second. Missed slum slump.
Very fun teaser!
I got 3 / 6, very good!
Not my thing
Ughhhh! I personally had a very hard time with this one, but the challenge was nice.
really fun, i got the first part of it
I know the example showed the 2 word answer rhyming but the instructions never said they necessarily had to rhyme so I wasted a lot of time going other ways. I didn't get any, duh!
i dont get it
I agree with 4princesses. Too mind boggling for a Saturday morning.
Call me silly, but I didn't realize the first set had to rhyme. Funny thing is the second set didn't say the words had to rhyme with each other either and yet I realized it. Hmmm... must be too early yet!
Iloved it! very good idea, and very well done! bravo
V ery nice, very nice. Ibet that took all day to think up.
#4 was the only one that gave me any trouble. The others were relatively easy. would like some more, please.
I loved this one! It was very challenging and quite clever!
Thanks!
Thanks!
I thought this was really clever; I like this type of teaser.
Could not get slum/slump. I thought tenements were just flats are apartments . Guess I learned something. THX

only missed #6! I also found part 1 easier than part 2 -- I kept getting "steep sheep" stuck in my head for #4 even though I knew it made no sense and couldn't be the answer.
Great job -- would LOVE to see more of these!!!

Missed #5, but found this a fun and clever teaser!

I missed the last 2, but it was fun figuring them out!
I;m doing this Saturday evening at 10pm. & only got one in each category.
Good one tho THANX

2/6 but probably the most fun teaser ever...
I got ALL of the first 3 and NONE of the second 3.
but great teaser!

Clever!
im sorry i just dont like this one.. not my thing.
I got them all but slum slump.
too hard no time
I didn't get no.4 as I thought it was in order, so was trying to think of a word for 'incline' that could have a 'p' added to mean sheep!
Really good teaser though
