Well, The Man did it to me again. The spaces between the first and last names were deleted. If you read this before you try the puzzle, the lengths of the names are (first,last): 1. (6,6) 2. (4,4) 3. (7,5) 4. (6,6) 5. (4,6). I guess these teasers just aren't meant to be.
Very good except for the space problem. Anyway, it was real fun. Nice idea!
Fun teaser, and either I'm really not the brightest star in the sky (a distinct possibility ) or voters are not totally honest on the difficulty ratings.
This is an excellent teaser but not difficult. I don't think the readers are rating it improperly. Sorry Rowsdower.
i dunno, i didn't really like it because you could just make up words to fit the space, just to random for me
I found it to be cleverly written and a worthwhile challenge - would like more like this. Thanks
