I am a huge fan of the National Football League (NFL). Since this is the slow part of the offseason, I decided to create some easy quizzes to share my NFL knowledge and to test yours.

Even if English is not your first language and/or you know nothing about the NFL, you should be able to Google all of the answers except for perhaps a few of the Bad Lip Reading questions. The Final quiz with the best prizes can still be reached after completing only half of the quizzes, so you could skip the Bad Lip Reading quizzes and only miss out on the Bonus giveaways.

Rules and Notes

  • I almost didn't create this event due to the amount of recent puzzle leaks. Please show some respect to the honest people who invest time in this puzzle and don't try to cheat; I will be keeping a watchful eye out for any signs of foul play. I have more giveaway slots than I'll ever use so I won't hesitate to delete ALL of the giveaways if I find evidence of cheating.
  • Absolutely no sharing of any quiz or giveaway information between players. If you get stuck on a question, post in this thread and I will consider adding hints based on demand.
  • Bundle game prizes have a minimum Contributor Level of 1; non-bundle game prizes have a minimum Contributor Level of 2.
  • Some might find it beneficial to enable Closed Captioning (subtitles) on the Bad Lip Reading videos. Simply click the "CC" button on YouTube's video toolbar.
  • You have a little more than one week to solve everything. Have fun!!!

I couldn't find any alternate online implementations of Shamir's Secret Sharing Scheme. If you'd rather not wait to continue, you can try searching for that term or, alternatively, add me and I'll give you the Final quiz URL in exchange for your Completion Codes.

I'm at a wall with Q3 in the final puzzle. You say it's a quite well known commentary, but is it from the MNF broadcast or not? If it's not, then is the former Dallas player the person who actually said it? If it is the person, was it actually from the game commentary?! The hints only add more confusion.

Edit: SOLVED! Whew :D

Congrats! This question has been causing some grief for a number of players. If you have any suggestions for making it a little easier without giving it away, please leave a comment in one of the final giveaways.

Most of the videos have one commentary, but I finally found one with the actual answer and a different commentary. That said, there is proof if you add the right pieces, not sure how much more I should reveal.

Hints don't appear for me so this is a real pain. :|
I mean how exactly am I supposed to guess your favorite team when I have to specify the year too?

There is a known bug with ITH where the hints can take up to a minute or two longer to appear AFTER the hint countdown expires. Please try another refresh; once you see the hint, you'll have the answer in seconds. :)

It's been stuck at 1 hour left since yesterday :))

EDIT: Oh wait, now it's stuck at 40 min left :P.

I think that in the last minute (0:59 to 0:00 seconds) the countdown is not showed (since it is minute 0), but the countdown is still active for that last minute.

Wait... you can only found Q8 in a video? Then I'm fked xD I have been trying to understand the answer for 22 hours and I still can't figure it out. You know... My English sucks T_T Can I send you the player's name and the link of the video with the exact moment when the answer is heard instead? :S

I'll allow it for this one video. For anyone else reading this, the captioning on the Bad Lip Reading videos is very good, making this step unnecessary.

Yes, I had no problem with the Bad Lip Reading videos, words were very clear and easy to understand (and funny)

Finally a quiz I know about.
Although I disagree HEAVILY with the second question of the first quiz. I'm a New England fan, so yeah.

Point taken for my next quiz. :)

The question was originally super easy so I moved part of it into the hint to at least slow people down a little but I unintentionally created some controversy in the process!

Props for the quizzes though. These are a quite good brain teaser. I knew some of these but forgot a couple of the names. I'm surprised the Harvard grad isn't the one with the highest score. My first guess would have been him, but I somehow doubted and checked anyway.

Heh, I was cracking my head trying to solve the final puzzle and then realized I don't even have the contributor value to join the giveaways anyway. Great puzzles though.
