edit1: hint: hidden in plain sight

edit2: Here is the solution:
There were two ITH puzzles hidden in this post, you had to notice that when clicking on the link it didn't take you to the link that was displayed in the post, solving each puzzle would give you a part of the 5 characters code to the giveaway.
The solutions to both puzzles are here and here.
I hope you had fun.

Maybe.. "Can I buy skyrim?" I don't really know. I got banned for an even worse and far more obvious joke about begging. Be careful, some mods/users are quite illogically strict on the subject.

"are quite illogically strict on the subject." you sure?!

Anything begging is banned on the forums, and it includes joke begging, how illogical is that?!

ps. so we can enjoy a beggers free forum, and thats quite nice actually

Are these things case-sensitive?

Comment has been collapsed.

I tried to make them as case-insensitive as possible (just updated to add more possibilities). Rule of thumb: capitalize your answers.

ITH doesn't care about capitalization.

Not sure why I'm getting the animal's name wrong. What else could it be?

Me either. Makes me think OP spelled it wrong.

Maybe you're not thinking about the right animal? If you really think I made a mistake, add me on Steam and we'll chat.

  • Interesting, class name means something scientifically speaking and I looked up the exact species from the wiki page, then Scientific classification - class and that was wrong, I also tried the plain English name of the exact species and the full Latin species name and those did not work either, haha.

I have no idea what an animal's class name could mean outside of the scientific meaning.

But the 'class' that any mammal falls into is 'mammilia', which doesn't work.

i tried that too but it was useless. i don't know what the creator wanted to write instead of class.

He's looking for the common english name for the infraclass.

OP, I hope I didn't just DQ myself here. I'm clarifying your question. If I did, so be it.

That's fine, I'm sure the hint will almost give it away, the difficulty of the puzzle is not here ;)

I won't give any hints for that yet, I'll see how it goes. If nobody can solve it, I'll add more hints.

Q4 & 5 are pretty subjective. Do you mean highest grossing or your personal favorite.

My favorite didn't work.

1 decade ago

Comment has been collapsed.

It's my favorite, and since the list is finite, you can always try to brute-force ;)

Yeah thats what I ended up doing, q4 was good I'll give you that.

Do you need to write the full title, with : and everything? It isn't really friendly.

If you use the official title (use Wikipedia as a reference), you should be fine.

But, uh, this is the first puzzle I've ever actually done. Is there anything I'm supposed to do after I've gotten all of the answers, or..?

1 decade ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Usually, there's a link to the giveaway below the questions, but, based on the comments I read, this is not the case, and the result is still part of the puzzle... You have to do something with that.

Sorry you didn't like it, that's my first puzzle so suggestions are welcome.

Less subjective questions ('best' game of a series depends strongly on personal taste) more acceptable answers to questions (If, for example, "Piggy Wiggins 5: Piggy Party" is the answer, accept that string, "Piggy Wiggins 5" "Piggy Wiggins Five", "5", and "Piggy Party" as answers).

I agree that without the hints you can only brute-force, but once they're here it should help a lot. I also tried many different answers for the questions, the official name should prevail anyway.

+1

Generally the official wikipedia/steam store names are the correct answer and you should use them instead of less formal answers. And while I am against brute-forcing, the list of answers here is very small.
