Hi all!

I've been wanting to make this puzzle for a while, so today I did. Five questions, and you have until next Sunday (24th) to solve it

Puzzle!

Please refrain from sharing hints and the link - most people who have taken a high-school level English class should be able to figure it out. Yes, that goes for non-Americans too. I learned all this back in Norway!

Edit: Q4 is wrong. It's about a different monologue - the one about the funny guy
HINT: The title of the short story in Q5 is composed entirely of single characters ("text speak")

I call foul on Q4. The question does refer to the answer of Q2, right?

Think I'm doing the same..."Most" Famous monologue is a bit of a misnomer when the play has so many!

derp! Hope nobody saw my spoiler then...So sorry!

Yes, the questions are supposed to follow from each other. So Q1 wrote Q2, the rest are about Q2 etc

Yeah, I'm also a little confused on question 4.

Edit: Ah there we go! had to google the last one though since it wasn't mentioned at all when I was taught about this particular piece of work.

Yes, it's one of the details they tend to omit. I guess you would have to... know it. (sunglasses)

Sitting in class, so clearly the best thing to do is to bump this to let more people puzzle it out

Q5 is really getting to me. I have an author who wrote an appropriately named sci fi short story, but it says I'm wrong. Can we get a year the story was published? Or maybe the format of the name? I've tried it in every way I can, First M Last/First M. Last/First Last. Can't find any other sci fi stories.

It should accept either the first and last name of the author or just the last name. Posted a hint up top

To bad that we only discussed two other famous plays of this author^^'
The one with the walking trees and then the one featuring the king and queen of fairies and the man who learns to see through the eyes of another life form^^' (I hope I don't say too much >,<
I was able to solve 4 of the 5 questions with some research but I'm completely stuck on the 5th one sadly >,<

Okay, I finally made it, even though at least for me (a puzzle newbie and English native speaker) the last question was quite tough X3 Even though when you finally find that story it makes totally sense XD
Too bad that I already got the game, but thanks for this puzzle anyway X3 Hope to see more from you in the future :)
You did a really good jub :3 thumbs up

That does seem to be the one giving people the most trouble. There is a hint in the OP, but I'll drop another one before I leave Friday ;)
