Thankyou
wow....to hard for me, but I tried like crazy. Good one, but tough! Thanks!
Same here. It's a good thing I'm impatient and looked at the answer, because otherwise I could have spent all day trying to solve this teaser without success.
BEEN THERE, DONE THAT, SO AFTER A LUCKY FIRST GUESS IT WAS CHILD'S PLAY.
FOR A CHANGE, THIS ONE WASN'T HALF BAD.

I hate people who type in caps.
The only one I got was Guilder. And-I couldn't for the life of me remember what a Guilder was! Lolol!

I kept trying to find instruments after seeing 'tuba'. Hahahaha, I didn't think Vial could be turned into an instrument...
Nice one!
Nice one!
That was fun! Um, I don't know if I should be embarassed for not getting it, or for realizing I didn't know a lot of those currencies!
Nice one... I got the theme from guilder, krone and peso, but they were the only ones I got. BTW phoenixtears - vial can be changed to an instrument! - viol, which is a bit similar to a violin
OK make that not very similar to a violin at all! Wikipedia has some good pictures of viols.

lol, I got a bit confused and thought I could add or take letters instead (as it only says change one letter) so I saw vial as viola and tuna as tuba
Sweet and nice.
Once i got Guilder the theme got established and i got a few more - peso, rial, baht. The rest i had to do a bit of google since the last time i did currencies was in 1985 !

Wow...terrific teaser!
Ingenius is all I can say!
That was good
Thank you so much. I appreciate your comments.
You can bet your bottom dollar I got this one wrong....excellent !!
This was a good one. Having worked for an International Airline, I have travelled a lot and as soon as I saw Builder, I got Guilder plus krone,peso, rial and bhat.... But not cedi, dong and kuna ... I learned something today, thanks Jazz......
Later Gators, kitty

i dont like those kinda tease...so i didnt try to solve this one.
Have to agree with just about everyone else. This was hard and I have no knowledge about currency from different countries, so really for me ;it was impossible. Learned something today. Thanks.
WOW! I got guilder and peso, so I figured the currency theme. The others were not at all familiar to me. I spent more time on this than most, and found it enjoyable. Thanks for the fun and the learning experience!
Finally a good one.Thanks Jazz. A special note to PIZZAZZ2U who called me a jerk, it takes one to know one.
A fantastic one, Jazz! A slight bit on the tougher side, considering one would have to know several languages to be good with this one! You stumped me with this one! Keep them coming, though. I can work them out.
Thanks guys for your nice comments.
Doehead: Thank you! It's nice to see a positive comment from you at last. You also have a positive karma point now! You need to check out my other 216 teasers. You might one or two that come up to your standards!

I meant to say: You might find one or two that come up to your standards!
Excellent - difficult, but fun. Thanks for the challenge!
Really fun but hard still great though.
never would have guess. i thought it was a car.
You got me! I typically find these easy, but not today.
I was searching along the lines of instruments or sun but couldn't make it work. Luna, Dial and Tuba, Viol...

Once I saw builder I got it. Very easy to get the theme, but I didn't get most of the words. But a good one, as usual. Jazz, you da man. Keep them coming.
I thought it was going to be soap types (Dove, Zest, Dial, Tone!)
Enjoyed it!

All say there is such thing as a Guilder. You'll have to remove spaces to have a look properly.
There probably is a difference between one and the other, but it's still right.

Clueless Colonial me I was stumped. I really like the format though! Good job
They always leave me with a smile how is anyone suposed to get one of these?
Apr 25, 2007
I looked at the answer. I didnt have the brains to do it.. LOL
I have to start getting of the house more, and maybe the country. I did not get any one of them. Boy do I feel stupid.
I forgot to say that I enjoyed trying yo solve it anyway. That was a teriffic teaser. loved it.

good one i like it
Well, at least I wasn't the only one thinking musical stuff. I couldn't see anything to turn Builder into, though, and so I gave up. I'm kinda glad I did though, because I wouldn't have known many of these, and wouldn't have looked them up either (I try not to do that most of the time). Oh well! Better luck next time!! I still rated this as fun.
Thanks guys
Not too shabby. Strange... I thought it was musical equipment, too.
