Never entered but I did find the red herring last. I snickered. Bump for making me laugh.

I have to wonder... are there bots that try to brute force puzzles? Because unless someone doesn't speak English or deliberately tries to mess up the results, there's no reason not to answer the puzzle linked in the OP correctly on a first attempt. It's a simple question, and both answers are correct. Alternative likely formats are also correct. This puzzle is designed to have 100% solvers, yet it doesn't :-\

maybe people aren't thinking you are being as straight forward as you claim to be?

I think you're forgetting about the more creative people :p

Yeah, could be, but still surprising that hundreds of players went for the non-obvious answers first, and that 11 of them eventually gave up.

Perhaps non-English speakers, who will try to enter a few random words to gain access to the GA's. It's quite the mystery indeed.

Dunno. I tried yea, yeah, yep, aye, of course, naturally, and absolutely, but none were correct. I think it is not that obvious. :(

I mistakenly typed in "yse" and it was obviously wrong.

I guess this would explain some, but not the fact that so far this puzzle received more wrong answers than correct ones. It means that on average, every players made at least one mistake. This is mind boggling.

As always I'll post a solution when the GA is over. I can tell you I'm re-using something I saw in the past in a puzzle that I couldn't solve, so you may end up completing that circle by creating your own puzzle that someone else can't solve. Nothing dumb about it, just a bit of plagiarism ;-)
