No this isn't a dirty topic. I'm talking about making up those Brain Teasers Greg used to put up. I tried making one today. I'll admit I only spent about 15 minutes writing it, but I thought I had it narrowed down so there was only one possible answer. Now I'm seeing multiple answers and I can't find anything wrong with them. I'd like some feedback if I could get some. Was this a good brain teaser (other than the fact that I totally screwed it up) was the difficulty level about right or was it too easy or too hard or too verbose?

You forgot to phrase it in the form of a question. take off your shirt
 
ok ok, i get the rules... *shirtless*... is it KIPPER??
 
nope, socks please

i don't know, which is the right answer? which ever is, I'll say the opposite...after all, it's a brain teaser!

DAMN! the question was "What is the synonym of antonym?" and you got it right when you said "the opposite." You win.
