Enjoyed these but most people don't wear capes any more so #2 threw me just a bit.
I only got the 3rd one. The other two were over my head. Good teaser. Thanks for posting.
I got this one pretty easily. Good one.
A good quiz and made you use your brain a bit. Most of all it was not a mathematic one. I was tired of going back to school and doing math!
Two out of three ain't bad.
Well, 2 and a 1/2.
Piece of cake:
As the two lovers sat quietly staring into tacos, they were both glad that they had brought their coats on this chilly night.

I didn't think I'd get this one, but I did.
I got them easily, but I wish I had thought of Tacos!!
Only got two; the fist one eluded me. Nice teaser! Challenging and fun.
Fun and entertaining teaser; I got 2.5 out of 3 - I could not get lager.
Got these pretty easily, except for lager, had to think on that one for a bit. I wish there had been more, but I guess it isn't easy to come up with too many anagrams at one time. I know I couldn't do it. Looking forward to more in the future.
