Want to get on my whitelist?

Then you'll have to solve a puzzle first! There's a whitelist giveaway already running (and 36 people don't even need to do the puzzle!).

Edit for people from the future: Future puzzle is closed!

I don't remember what counts as the "final battle" in #10 ._.
(by the way, it didn't accept #6 when I had "The" in the beginning)

Updated 6. Have hints unlocked for you yet? That should help a lot with 10 if you know enough to get everything else.

Does the #10 use some uncommon format? I'm pretty sure I know it but can't find the answer :S

No it's not, though it is very specific; you need to use the name that's being used at the point in time, whereas elsewhere I've tried to be accommodating and allow as many aliases/alternate spellings as possible.

+1 on hints still not helping for #10
I had to look everything up, not being very familiar with the puzzle's subject. But 20 or 30 internet search tabs later, and #10's the only one I'm missing. Hint seems to make it obvious, but it ain't working.

[edit] I've read your reply to Jasmine -- will keep trying! [/edit]

If you're not naturally familiar with the source, the hint won't help as much. It might be useful to know that it references a fan theory.

I am also unfamiliar with the source and stuck on Q10. I (believe I) found the fan theory you referenced and know which character you're referencing. I have tried many different names/aliases and haven't been able to find the one you're looking for. Is it possible you have a typo?

EDIT: Perhaps you could help us by stating how many words are in the expected answer?

Goddamn it. I've looked at that answer at least three times to make sure there's no typos. Then I tried actually typing it in the answer box, noticed it was wrong, looked again and saw I was missing an 'n'. Thanks, fixed. I'll preemptively whitelist you as well since you probably know it.

Agh! XD
EDIT: btw, is it a typo in the message you see when you solve the puzzle?

Yes. Somehow I've managed to spell it three different ways today. Don't ask me how.

Thanks, bump for solved. I won't bother you with going through the whitelist procedure, then.

This can be a difficult puzzle to get started without any context. Once you figure out the subject, which can be done using the info provided in the questions and hints, it's fairly straight-forward.

It does have hints. There's a little counter on the right that says how long until the hints unlock. You have to try answering at least once to start the timer. Once the timer has finished, you'll need to refresh the page to see them. Every single question has a hint.

You shouldn't bother if only people with no life could get it though.

I totally give up on #10... the hint didn't help. 91 people played... 9 solved so far. I don't feel too bad.

Edit: Couldn't give up in the end, and finally got it.. was fighting with format required by the answer.

5's hint is incredibly useful if you know how to use it, but isn't something you can just google either.
6 has been amended to accept "the" in the answer.
Good work getting 10 in one shot. It's not all that hard with the hint, but there's a few possibilities without it and people would probably gravitate to them first.

Bump for solved.
Also, yeah, I get troubled at Q6 with that specific "the".
Nice puzzle nonetheless.
