I also had trouble with the first one, then the rest came quite easily. Once again, Jazz, you have done a great job.

Too Hard!!! Nice one though...
Ah, thank you for the explainations
3 out of 4 . Enjoyed the puzzle. THX
These are so fun! I only got one right on this one but I really enjoyed trying!
great teaser jazz... you got me with #3... i tried horn but dismissed it because it didnt seem rite with powder or rims... never heard those two before...had to give up... fun as always though
I really enjoyed this one, but couldn't get BACK. Keep 'em coming!
I need to read the instructions better, but still got a couple of them.
Got then all, but like dogg6pound9, I thought "horn" but did not know what POWDER HORN was. Since it worked with the other 3 words, I assumed it as right but still no idea how it works with powder
got half of them! good enough for a Monday morning before work-
excellent
2 out of four; fun but difficult teaser.
I only got half.
Terrific. Pretty difficult. I did not get #2. This was very enjoyable.
The example ALONE is enough to knock me into a doozie! What is a picture tube?
Fun and entertaining teaser; I did better this time than I did 3 years ago and got 3/4. I could not get "back".
Gr8 fun teaser thanks!
