never could have got it
I was thinking Cheetahs are uninteresting, but you know... whatever works for you!
Ah yes, that famous, almost overused expression, Cheetahs are uninteresting. I was going to use that but I reasoned it must be such a common phrase that it must be on this site already

I liked it. Even though I didn't get the answer until I clicked, "show the answer", and that's when the light bulb clicked on and I understood. Needless to say, I felt a tad bit slow!
well no1s goin 2 that bank
Being an avid cat fancier, I would never consider a chetah to be a "cheater", despite the intended play on words.
You weren't meant to Ozzy.Out of interest (no pun) How do YOU pronounce Cheetah ?
though i've never heard of this phrase,i find this quite amusing ...well done!
That was pretty good i didn't get the anwer at first
this is really a bit daft, it relies on on certain thought processes an then ignores them.It assumes you are an investor. But it would seem to be THE bank from which to borrow
It is a wacky notion isn't it? A bank that lends money as well as invests. Whatever next, they'll be offering mortgages next, you mark my words
Reminds me of that time that lion killed the other one because he accused him of being a cheetah.
actually, if the bank doesn't offer investors any interest, then the bank of cheetahs WOULD prosper, but their customers would not.
That one seemed like quite a stretch to me. How does Cheetah become cheater? And it seems questionable whether or not they are prospering or not.
I thought that saying a cheetah was a cheater was very odd. It didn't really make a lot of sense!!
This was a boring 1. It idn't make much sense either....
oh my goodness, why does everyone have to over-analyze ever single riddle... it's meant to be fun! if it doesn't make sense to you, then it would be in your best interest to keep it to yourself so noone considers you slow...
because i got it.
because i got it.
I'm not an expert at teasers, but this one is really great!
heh heh. I like it a lot.
I found it easy, but that's probably because here we don't roll our R's in NZ, so Cheetah and Cheater sound identical.
Thanks Ix!

My answer: Ya don't get nuthin' if you're a cheetah.
Way too easy despite the weak clue. Better luck next time.
I was just reading the comments about banking and investments, all I can say is WOW!
Ok, I wasn't going to say this, but to all the Americans who are finding it bizarre that I am using Cheetah for Cheater; Watch Disney's Lion King sometime and listen to Zazu's morning report to King Mufasa. He uses the same trick, and that is an american production.
too easy
too easy
