I'm gifting away a non-bundled coop game (Dieselstormers) that I bought a while ago as a four-pack to play with a few friends once it's out of early access. Unfortunately one of them passed away very suddenly earlier this year so I'm sitting with an extra copy that I never had a chance to send to him. So I've made a 2 week GA for people that can solve my puzzle.

I didn't mean to be so bleak to start with, so here's a joke to lighten the mood:
There are 10 kinds of people in the world... and I forgot the punchline.

Edits:
Everyone that's acknowledged that they've solved the puzzle in the GA has been whitelisted for solving it before first official hint has been posted for potential future GAs.

HINT#1: The location of the clue to get to the puzzle is hidden within the text. The very location of the clue also contains the (missing) information on how to solve the clue. You just need to be 1 of those 10 kinds of people.
HINT#2: The clue is tiny. You might want to use a magnifying glass to see it properly.
HINT#3: Don't panic!
HINT#4: In celebration of Towel Day (25th of may), my last hint has been posted where before there was no hint.

I'm sorry but either I think the 'clue' you included is invalid... or I have no idea what's going on.
Thumbs up for the pancake rabbit though, it was my very first encounter with an internet meme/poster/whatever.

It's definitely valid. I went through the entire chain after having created it to make sure I hadn't missed any steps. :)

Cheers for the thumbs up though.

Well, I don't seem to be able to read it and I think it has something to do with the extremely small size, but more likely I'm just approaching it wrongly... hint would be appreciated but don't feel obliged to :)

You're probably on the right track then at least. I'll probably add more clues when a bit more time has passed if people still haven't been able to solve it.

I've tried a QR decoder to no success, also tried inputing "that" code into "that puzzle site" but to no success, I know I need 1 more character and I tried the one you mention on your post but... NOPE

The answer on how to use it lies in the very spot where you found it. You just have to read what isn't there. (Some other not so helpful users spoiled that a bit).

The wording is intentional, there's a reason I didn't post the punchline. But I guess you've gone and spoiled one clue now.

Okay, if i should reveal: Number 10 i got first try :D

Do i understand it correct, that all answers connect to the same main-theme?
Or has every question to be solved in the same way?

Number 10 is a bit of the odd man out in terms of how the questions are given, but each question is a clue to the solution of everything.

Aye, I wasn't sure if I should post the reason why I have an extra copy or not. But he would have liked the intellectual challenge, so I wanted to honor him.

My condolences, I was kinda hoping it wasn't true... but then again, no one talks about the death of a friend unless it's real, hope you, his family and other friends are doing better now, may his soul rest in peace.

Sometimes the best way to get a good answer is to speak the question out loud to yourself. And don't mind everyone thinking that you're crazy for speaking to yourself.

Almost there... I would have never understood the puzzle without the hints! Q4 and Q6 are quite difficult... I'm pretty sure I know Q6 but since I need a plural answer I'm not getting the right one. Q4 is just ultra vague :P

edit: Got Q6, but I think you are wrong. I will post the wikia page on a GA once I finish with Q4.

I actually added both singular and plural answers to the ones that I feel could be both, 1 and 6.

And if you search the word of the answer for 6 on google, the 3rd or 4th link mentions the clue. ;)

Edit: Ah yeah, now I get it, the hint actually mentions something another party would do. I've always read that passage as if the second sentence is a sidenote and the third sentence carries on the story about the first sentence. But looking at the wikia the whole paragraph is about the party mentioned in the second sentence. While not exactly mentioned I have no doubt though that the hint is accurate. Oh, the horror of listening to it. I will make the hint a bit more factual correct though. :)

Yes but I got lost since there are even worse poets that fit better with your description of q6.

And now I finally understood your hint to q4 and I was right all along, but I am not inputing the right words... not sure how you want the answer.

edit: got q4, I was inputing a longer answer all along, doh!
