Very Good! Most enjoyable!
First off, THANK YOU for this big teaser! I LOVE having a lot of things to put together! Though, I didn't need the last bit in clue #6 ("no less than $50,000"), the first half of clue #8, or the last half of clue #9. ...Keep 'em comin'; We need MORE of these!
I enjoyed working this one. Good Job! Had fun working it out. Hope to see more from you.
That was great. Gave my brain a good work out without getting frustrated.
good one!
Yay! Solveable! (sp?!) But took some brain power, way to keep me on my toes!
Now that's what I'm talking about! Keep em coming, April!
Really nice, you made us literally dance around the grid! It was fun!
Finally one that is fun and not too easy. I enjoyed this. Wish I had an extra 30K to give when I was unemployed...
loved it!!!!!
Enjoyable!!!Different subject, which was good. Thanks for the teaser-I liked how much it involved.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback. I'm glad you guys enjoyed it!
The grid scared me a bit but it wasn't as hard as it appeared.
Great teaser.
Great teaser.
Good on ya...
Good teaser. Nice job.
These are fun teasers, but this one was done really well! super job.
This was a good one. Nicely put together. Made me think. Thanks!
Very fun! It was sort of hard but nothing I can't handle!
I barely got it! Hard but fun!
Great teaser! Just the right amount of thinking to solve it. Keep em coming.
I protest vehemently!! No just kidding. U see the 1st (or another) clue says that the surgeon gave THREE TIMES MORE THAN than Ms. Maxwell. However, in the solution, Ms. Maxwell(Julia) gave $20K and the surgeon (Michelle) gave $60K. May I remind you that 60K is THREE TIMES 20K not THREE TIMES MORE THAN 20K. I suggest you either remove the "MORE THAN" OR you simply have Donna(attorney)pay $60K and Michelle(Surgeon) pay $80K. As far as I can see, this answer works just as well and is the ONLY correct answer with the present wording.

Not going to say anything about how generous people in positions are - this is all made up, of course.
Fun and relatively simple to complete.
