Brain Teasers
Retro Breakthrough 2
A magazine competition invited people to come up with "invented" inventions of the cyber-age.
For example, a solar powered clothes drier (a rope) and a hand-held word processor (a pencil). Can you guess what this is?
It's a graphic media emulator. High-resolution, thin-screen monitor that produces near-perfect emulations of all graphical media. Used as cosmetic analyzer.

Resolution is not just the measurement of how many dots you have making up a print or screen image, as I understand it the term refers to the sharpness or detail of a displayed image.. and seeing as a mirror is displaying an image... ^_^
Oh and your teaser was just read out on the radio in New Zealand. Congrats!

Very nice! Fun fun
I am either very smart or people are very dumb because so far all these are easy.
Really easy one. Yet cool to think about.

ok! that one (TO ME) was a little tougher... had to think for a minute....thanks!
Good BUt easy for me_a 12 year old
Ok that was fun and I needed to feel smart today
i did not realy get it
I liked the thin screen comment! Maybe the "all graphical media" was a bit much.. I got it, but it would have been alot harder without the word "cosmetic" in there.
Good one. I'm suprised I got it
i kinda liked the teaser i think that it was really easy
ok, im realli stupid so,...i had to look @ the answer
i guess i am dumb then, mR. Psalm150
Your choice of words was very good and confused me until I saw "cosmetic". Gee, does that mean I spend too much time looking in the mirror? Good job!
"cosmetic analyzer" gave it away! nice--
pretty good
This is a good teaser, got it right away though
The 'cosmetic' gave it away!
The 'cosmetic' gave it away!
lol! I enjoyed that thoroughly, thanks!
this was so stupid amirror has no moniter!
Great vocabulary lesson! Fun but, obvious.
I didn't get that 1 at first guess im a lil' slow (lol)
good brain teaser super
I actually had to think about that one, it was good.
lol, i liked it, but near perfect? its a mirror, its going to be perfect, unless the mirror was really messed up
a little easy but i liked it....well done....keep 'em comin
Good one, I like the easy ones.
Good job
Nice play on words it helps to confuse for a second.
the 'cosmetic analyzer' gave it away
I didn't get it *cry*
I love this one!! Good Job!!!
On reflection, I like it
I searched all 17 pages of teasers for Science and still could not find "Retro Breakthrough 1"!
YAY
Too retros ina row! Keepen comming!
to vbguy101
look at the guy who MADE IT then ud find it

Got it right off (but it was still fun) and you had to put some thought into describing a mirror in this way!
I searched 20 pages of "Riddles" before I went back and found out that the ctegory was "Science."
I searched 18 pages of "Science" twice and still did not find "Retro-Breakthrough 1.

I think "cosmetic analyzer" should have been made the hint, but this was very good.
I was guessing pocket mirror with the words "cosmetic anylyzer", because it's hard to see that in a big one.
Cosmetic analyzer gave it away for me. Thanks
vbguy101 RetroTeaser 1 is in the Other section, not riddle or science
Thought it was pretty easy. Cosmetic analyzer gave it away.A womans favorite place.
I couldn't believe I got this! I never get science ones. However, I guessed, not figured it out. Still, I got it!
Perfect teaser. I loved it. What more can I say?
I didn't get it.
I thought it was maybe a tv screen!
That was a great one. As soon as I saw the word cosmetic, I knew what it was. Thanks for posting.
Monday~

mm I agree, good teaser :]
I got it!!! Usually I am not very good at these, but, I thought it was fun and easy.
Hm. I was thinking photograph, but I like the answer of mirror.
Great job!!
Great job!!
finding retro1 was harder than the actual teaser but then I got smart and looked at your teasers and now I feel twice as smart.
I fault the quality of any emulator that reverses left for right. Graph an upward trend; its reflection is downward.
I got off on the wrong track with "graphics." I kept thinking of letters so the cosmetic thing didn't compute at all for me. In retrospect, it is a good teaser, though.
very very clever. i never would have gotten it if i hadn't clicked reveal answer .
nice teaser
nice teaser
great teaser... the "cosmetic analizer" gave it away for me also, considering my wife and 10 year old daughter are constantly in the mirror
LOL!!!!!!!! A mirror!!!!!!!! Wow, never thought of it. I was thinking of a plasma T.V. but nice teaser! got me Teased!!!!!!
I guessed 'eyes'. Good Puzzle!
That was very good, but there is no Retro Breakthrough 1!
That is SO STUPID!
Good one! "Cosmetic" made me think mirror right away. Thanks!
I totally nailed it! Yay!
I didn't get it last time or this time either.
Easy, but fun. Nice.
These Teasers become extremely techy. Graphic Resolution would include Pixels, color charts, ingrained within the emulator. Mirrors are Reflectors. Mirrors reflect a perfect image of whatever is being displayed.
Good Teaser when it makes the mind or brain calculate possibilities, any or all.

ahh! I was thinking pencil or graphite, but I get it now! Good one!
Been up since 20am and so it was nice th find an easy teaser Loved it.
I got it from the very last sentence. I don't know how or why, but I said mirror and it was right. It made me laugh!
Very easy. When I look in a mirror, I see something very scary.
Excellent teaser! Brilliant, fun, and moderately easy. Great work.
Very easy but I loved it!
I actually got one! Yay!!!
I liked this one quite a bit- thanks!!
I said a pane of glass. I guess I was in the right general vicinity...
(You'd think "cosmetic analyzer" might have tipped me off that I was wrong, wouldn't you?)

Fun, easy and entertaining teaser; I got it very quickly.
Cute concept. I liked the examples more than the teaser.
Very enjoyable. Not sure it belongs in this category, but it's got to be somewhere
