Yay! First one! This was a little confusing, but fun! Keep these coming, dude! I loved it!
Thank you!!!
very good teaser....well written and solvable...made me think a little
too easy...but good...at 1st this teaser exuded a 'toughie' impression, with a mere number of 6 clues, but it's just too much condensing done to my liking...mb u could use more -ve statements in the future? but why not, rite? not that NOTs don't create pretty little knots on our brain's nerve's terminals, coz they do...
Just right! Enjoyable, and not too easy. Exactly the way I like them!
I loved it, thank you.
Fun.. lots of "postives" so not so much elimination, but still fun. I liked that all these women have really powerful jobs, but I don't know about the knitting and the baking (ha!)
enjoyed it!!
good one
Try Doing this puzzle while watching Cops.It doesn't work out well... ...I had to cheat and look at the first two answers.ME!
Not bad. A little too easy as no deduction was necessary.
like doing your teasers so much I looked back to find some older ones you did. This one was easy (or Im just getting better) and I loved it as usual. Thanks again!
thanks, vancon!
Another great teaser!!!
I got about 95% of it before realizing I'd make a mistake (along the lines of x went with y and y went with z, but x didn't go with z). Turned out I got two names mixed up. Everything else was right though.
Good teaser - very well-written and fun!

great teaser! Not too tough, but made ya think just enough. Of course, I didn't pay attention and marked the wrong square with an X when it should have been the one below it....oops. That's what I get for rushing.
