Very good! Clever. But how do you play a game on the # sign? Other than that, I thought it was great.
The # sign looks like a tic-tac-toe game.

Awesome teaser. Great job!
Not bad at all but I think that the #3 should have been given a better hint.
my No.3 has the £ sign above it. I'm depressed, do you mean to say that the UK keyboard has a $ sign, but the US one has no £???
Wow, impressive teaser.
it's a little confusing as keyboards vary but most of the clues match all keyboards...gd1!!!!!!! woooooo!!
=¬D
=¬D
Liked it
to piffle, it looks like a tic tac toe board
That was a cool teaser
That's a pretty cool teaser! When I was looking at all the buttons 2 c wut u meant, I got confused on number 3, but now I understand it. Over all, it was gr8!
quite clever

I really liked this teaser - thanks! As for a possible clue for #3, how 'bout "I get pounded every once in awhile" or something like that?
That is very clever, took me a while to figure out.
I'm just not getting it... What am I missing here?!
This is so difficult as to be absurd.
This is a 9 out of 10! Great puzzle that was weakened by a couple of clues that could have been improved. (e.g. the # sign). But...congrats, I liked it!

i feel the same way as andy... english keyboards hav £ as 3!!!! but it woz a gd riddle apart from that!
WOW!!! Iwould have never guessed that!!! It's really really good idea. It was probably easy to compose but believe me, it's not that easy to figure out!!!!
You know farrell, you really shouldn't say O God... the Bible says you would be better off with an anchor tied around your neck and hands tied behind your back and be thrown into the sea then to say the Lord's name in vain
Everyone says they didnt' get number 3. It was the only one that really made sense to me!!!!
If there's one bad keyboard teaser, I haven't heard it!
once i read the answer, i understood the entire puzzle. it all made sense. Nice work.
really nice teaser
Very clever!
Brilliant, one of the best I've seen so far.
very creative!
Very Cute! You'll go far in the Braingle business!!!!!
This was great! It never crossed my mind that it could be more than one thing until i saw the end part that said 'what are we' instead of 'what am i', but i couldn't be bothered to think of it then.
Anyway, it gave me a good idea for a new teaser.

Wow that was really hard! I was clueless. Although I understood the # clue after reading the answer, it took me a few seconds to get it. Probably could have come up with a clearer hint, but overall very nicely done!
I got the #3 clue but my (UK) keyboard has "£" above #3.
But the rest worked fine

bery good
oh!
Seldom is an answer so literaly right before one's eyes. Nice work.
i dont see how pple didnt get 3 that was the easiest 1
WOW!!!!!!!!!! Where did you come up with that one Great teaser,Great JOB
I liked the teaser very much, but for my own edification, the number four, I am always rich is not quite true. U see ($)1.oo is not Rich. Also, the Exclamation point is not always excited. You can exclaim in Anger, or Annoyance. At any rate, this is what a teaser should be. All in all if 5ive persons answered correctly, then their truly intel. Parentheses keep it alltogether, must have two(too).
I love it!!!! Def. on my favorites list.
I had to read the comments to get it
OUTSTANDING!,,the only thing that could make this better was dede's comments ,,,this one definitely goes to my fav list
I give you a 100 on your creativity! Go U
Lol iLOVED it this is going in ym faves!
Doesn't work if you're in France!
If you press shift you get the numbers, if you don't press shift you get:
&é"'(-è_çÃ
.... Thanks

It took me awhile and I still did'nt get it. Alot of fun though.
odd...but interesting!
Sweet
Very clever - though it's a shame it doesn't work for everyone (3 for me is a £)
I had no idea. That was really good though. By the way, you can be excited and angry at the same time. Excitement just means a lot of emotion.
just ok...you can always try but will never be able to satisfy everyone everywhere everytime...
anyways, my kb shows me these:
!"#$%&'()
on 0, there's only hiragana 'wo' on it...

A fine teaser doing what a teaser does best, if it got you it got you, if you got it you got it...you can't change it, but you can contribute your own teasers. We're always up for your challenge.
Good teser, thanks.

Maybe u have 2 b a kid to understand that 1! All i know is i understood the whole thing, especially #3. the first thing i thought was "tic tac toe board."
Good teaser!
Good teaser!
A fantastic teaser. I taught something close to this one to my sister, 30 years ago! A good one for kids to figure out, if you can get them in the mood.
This was a tricky teaser. I never in a million years would have figured it out. It did get my mind working, it just didn't work in the right direction. Great job!!
very nice!!
A@RG*H&!% Logic? I have no logic. Great teaser _ Makes me want to weep with chagrin at not getting this one.
AWESOME! So entertaining....but I thought it was a tough one! Thanks!
u have mad teaser skillz...lolz

Not bad. To be honest, though, the hint wasn't very good (sorry) which is disappointing, because I was looking forward to solving it.
creative, and I was completely stumped until I looked at the answer. Nice going

I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN IT

Excellet job, just made me feel extremely stupid tho. Really creative. More please.
Awesome, going on MY FAVORITES.
I cackled when I got this one! Loved the feeling of being stumped for a few minutes, especially about clue #7... "what kind of clue is 'And....'?!" That might've been what did it for me though.
Good one!
Good one!
This is a fantastic, original teaser! The answer is just starting at our face, but many of us (including me, of course), missed it. How creative! Great job!
Fun - and original. When I saw ten clues, I thought of fingers ... and then the 10 digits ... and took my eyes off my keyboard where the answer lies , to look at what was above the digits on my calculator!! Should have persevered!!
Thanks - this one's a favourite. Clues were all accurate enough to give the answer overall; you can't have one so easy that it gives the whole thing away. Thanks.

It's good if this is the first time you've seen it. I'm a little tired of all the overused repeats. It's time the editors get off their(you know what) and give us some new material!!!!
If you want to tell me how terrible I am for the above remarks,that's OK. I got big shoulders and a thick skull.

Great teaser, I enjoyed it , probably because I got it so quickly. Just one of those things, easy if you get it, hard if you don't.
That was cute and simple. ;)
I figured it out the second time, but not because I remembered it (I think). But doesn't this belong in the Riddle category?
Nice one!!!
Wouldn't have gotten it in a million years...great teaser!
I guessed it had something to do with the numbers 1 thru 0, but couldn't pin it down. But I'd never seen this teaser before, unlike the riddle wary, misnamed doehead, so it seemed to me very clever.
I didn't get that...even with the hint. It only told me what I already knew...it had to do with the numbers.
I thought the ...and...was dividing the numbers into two sides, but I couldn't make anything out of it.
But, it was SO GOOD! It was hard, but I really liked the teaser!
Good job!

I did not like it. Nuff said!
Got it.
I have to agree with doehead. This one had alot of cobwebs on it.
I also agree with Doehead (and cutebug) this teaser is over 10 years old, and based on the comment dates, it appears that it was used as "Teaser of the Day" on September 3, 2005; AGAIN a month later on October 8, 2005; October 8, 2006; October 8, 2009; and again today October 8, 2012.
With the THOUSANDS of teasers on the site is it really necessary to recycle the same one on the same date every few years?

I agree with Patience with a P - I didn't get it, but I loved it. I MAY have seen it in 2009 - but I'm getting forgetful and don't remember if I've seen these puzzles before. I love the cranky comments - some people just need to vent!! LOL
PS Some one noticed and asked me why I always sign off with a "wink" and a "smile" - very observant! One of my favorite songs by Harry Connick Jr - "A Wink and a Smile" !

Thought it was a calculator but knew that wasn't right. I didn't get it. I did have fun with it though.
This just went into my faves! I feel so dumb right now!
I LOVE this one! Thanks!
The answer was right @ my fingertips!
Ooph. Tough. I was not close. But, I like it very much.
I really liked it. I found it fairly easy, but not "duh, that was stupid" easy. Nice job!
