Great new teaser, Thanks for the hard work.
Not much of a challenge,sorry.
Funny how I didn't need your hint--got those fine! It was 7 & 9 I couldn't get in the limited time I gave myself!! Thanks for submitting!
Nice teaser, had to use the hint.
Didn't need the hint, as a matter of fact I didn't even check it after I finished. Great teaser, but kind of easy.
Well, I wasn't as fortunate as the other players, but I enjoyed the Teaser, nevertheless. keep them Coming.
I absolutely love these teasers. Keep 'em coming!
Well done, enjoyed it.
More coffee before I tackle that kind of teaser again! A lot of work went into that!
I got them all but the last one, guess I ran out of brain cells.
good puzzle - thanks for posting!
DUH!
Difficult but fun and enjoyable teaser; it took awhile but I got them all.
I am so bad at these! I know a lot of people didn't have trouble, but I get all mixed up with word jumbles! I missed 7 and 9 and had to use 9 to figure out 10. But I got there!
Funny how some that I find easy, the comments are riddled with "that was so hard". Then ones like this, which I find very difficult, lots of "too easy" comments. Interesting.
Good teaser, though!
Good teaser, though!
OK, just saw the difficulty score of 2.38, so apparently most found this as difficult as I did. Can't always trust the comments!
