Hi all,

I made my very first itstoohard quiz!

I tried to make it doable but not too easy (hoping you spend at least 5 minutes on it :p). Hints appear after 1 hour (I hope). Please don't share answers, link, hints etc.
Think I made it a little harder than I'd hoped, but hang in there!

Good luck!

Please let me know if you think I made a mistake or if a question is too hard or too easy. Basically, all feedback is welcome as long as you stay polite!

Cheers, Pasta Koala.

PS. It's pretty obvious but for question 9 also: Name the game.

PSS. For q4 it should say the 50's instead of 60's!

PSS. For question 3: A supergroup is not a group that I think is 'super', it's a group consisting of members who were already famous from succes with former bands or as solo artists, then decided to group up. Thus making a group consisting of members who had already made it in the music industry. Not sure if this was clear for everyone.
Googleing supergroup should be a good start.

The giveaway has ended but you can still make the puzzle! I'll post the answers tomorrow.

The group is touring with 3, the fourth individual is also touring separately. You have the hint? For me it refers to a specific incredibly famous happening. Which should get you narrowed down on bands.

Ah, I've just got it, but not with your hint. I can't say I've actually ever heard of them though :D

Congratulations second solver! ;)

Whaha, hmm they are one of my favorites but maybe to obscure for younger people (I am young myself but got it from my dad) and people not so into this kind of music. Maybe I'll add an extra hint, ty for letting me know ;).

Read my reply in the giveaway, I don't think any extra hints are actually necessary. You just have to be resourceful enough to find some of the answers.

Also, I did say music was not my forte :D

Can't solve it even with hints.

Ah, hmm let me see.
Well 6 should be instantly after the hint if you google it! Also 5 should be doable after hint.
I heard a lot of people had a hard time on number 3. After hint does that get you any further? I'd say google the first 'happening' that comes to mind.
For 2, hmmmmmmmmm add me for a hint!

For 3: Did you google supergroup yet?
For 4 and 5: Try combining words from the question with the hint in a Google? Especially for 4 a google with some chracteristics from the question should do the trick. For 5 the hint should definitely help to find the author.

Answers to the questions are:

  1. Pearl Jam - their album 'Ten' is a reference to the back number (10) of basketballplayer Mookie Blaylock.
  2. Jim Morrison - An audio fragment of the lead singer of the Doors recently appeared, in which he stated 'Fat is beautiful'.
  3. Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young - A supergroup because they were already famous before CSNY, from Buffalo Springfield etc. They sing beautiful harmonies. The hint is referring to the band playing on Woodstock. Other answer possibilities were CSN, CSNY, Crosby, Stills and/& Nash etc.
  4. The Old Man and the Sea - In this famous novel by Hemingway a man faces great challenges 'battling' a huge fish far from shore on the sea. The book appeared in 1952, which is why it should've stated 50's instead of 60's. The writer, Earnest Hemingway, survived multiple plane crashes and other tragedies and ultimately committed suicide (as did many of his relatives).
  5. Ten Little Niggers - A famous crime novel by Aghata Christie. The original title was banned for racism, the book now goes by the name 'And then there were none'.
  6. Catch-22 - Catch-22 is a very humorous book on 'crazy' pilots flying in WWII. Catch-22 means that people who are insane can ask to stay grounded (not have to fly missions). But if they ask, they are assumed to be sane enough to fly. Just one example of the many weird regulations and humor in this book.
  7. FEZ - The game that originated on Xbox Live Arcade recently came to Steam. In FEZ you play a cute white little guy, you have to rotate the levels to progress. I've just started playing it and am enjoying it so far! (Someone just mentioned a game similar to this description could be the Bridge, so I'm sorry if people got stuck on this.)
  8. Super Mario 64 - In the Hazy Maze Cave you can ride 'Dorrie' who is a reference to the monster of Loch Ness.
  9. Battletoads - Thus the amphibian part referring to the toad. Levels are all very different in what the toad does and which items he uses. This game was well-known for being extremely unforgiving. (TheMexicanRunner on Twitch streams it a lot if you are feeling nostalgic. :p)
  10. The answer is yes! Like the hint said: "If you don't..." [want a point and click game] "...you probably shouldn't enter..."
