Thanks very much Paul
Your teasers are excellent!
That was one of the best and most challenging teasers i came across. Bravo.
Thanks kedith33
That would have to be the most convoluted teaser I have ever seen. Took me several readings of the answer to get it and I still don't quite get the 'etc's.
I agree with the post above me. I get the answer and how to get it from the rebus. What I don't get is why the etcs and ...s?? They just convolute it and have no apparent purpose. If you were going for random convolution then good job, but I think thats a tacky way to make a teaser harder. If there actually is a reason for them then please enlighten me.
I never would have gotten this one. Thanks for posting.
