that was awesome loved it even though it was hard
Excellent teaser Fishmed
Excellent teaser Fish, Really had to do some hard thinking on this one. That's the reason for this site. Thanks for posting.
I did poorly, but I gave up too quickly. Next time I'll try harder.
This was hard. I got the first one,but not the other 2(after my 10min limit) Really fun!
That was good. I didn't figure out all of them, but it was fun. It is late and I keep yawning...
I thought this was very cleverly done. It takes some thought to take the anagrams and make such meaningful sentences with them. I was able to figure out just the first one, but I thoroughly enjoyed reading the answers. I'd like to see more like this.
