Good quiz, but I could have used more time.

Awesome quiz! I didn't realize the 5th Clue #2 said 'used to own' (as in previously owned), I thought it said 'used to own' (as in made for the purpose own)! No wonder 'possessive noun' didn'd work! :)

I thought it was that after trying "owned". Never occurred to me it could be a different verb.

I am surprised I got 100% first try. I guess doing the "list all the presidents" quiz about 20 times last week helped. Tibia and happy/satisfied were the hardest clues for me. Got the president first, took away the lion sound and worked out the answer for tibia that way.

There's really too much time. I couldn't come up with half the short clues, so just started typing in common presidents' last names until they filled themselves in and worked backwards from there to get all the short clues with the remaining letters.

I like that there are multiple ways to attack this puzzle.

This was my strategy. The only box I left empty was Taylor. Had I 10 more seconds I would have gotten it.

Same. This is probably why I found this much easier than the other breakdown puzzles.

I usually rock president quizzes, but NOT SO MUCH on this one. I'm not sure why it was so challenging for me. I guess my brain does not work like this-- I liked it, though!

I just took another quiz this morning which had Roosevelt as an answer, and I had it in my head I had already typed that one, so I missed it on this one. Sigh.

I found this so much easier than the country breakdown puzzles. Probably because there are so many fewer presidents.

I saw an is in the field. Several more majestic are galloped from the brush to reinforce that solitary beast. A group of this species is not called a herd by biologists, but a conjugation.

You can also detect them, even when you can't see them, by the gentle whirring sound they make. When angry that becomes "wuzzzz"; that's a warning to get as far away as possible.

Could use another 5-10 minutes IMO. Not the kind of quiz I want to rush, or pause/stop.

Was typing 'nothing' when time ran out, otherwise perfect. This was a fun quiz.

I thought Nov + two months meant Nov and the names of two other months, like NovMayJune or something. Why not simply say, two months after Nov?
