q5 is also pretty easy. More people have trouble figuring out q3.

I'm not even sure which answer to Q1 should help with Q5 :x the obvious way didn't help and the wrong-correct answer to Q1 makes even less sense wrt Q5
Comment has been collapsed.
or it just doesn't make sense unless you're just as weird as the one making the puzzle (that's what I usually found true seeing solutions to puzzles :P)
Comment has been collapsed.
q5 has 4 possible answers. 3 of them are the same(just written different so people have higher chances of solving) and a secret answer (one to solve them all)
Comment has been collapsed.
so actually a weird mind-reading game... meh
I'm done with this - not gonna try to figure something out that makes less sense than net pr0n or never ending level game :P
if I don't forget I'll come back and complain more when the solutions are out (or maybe facepalm, but meh)

it's not a mind reading game (although it is weird)
Comment has been collapsed.
guessing trigger words always turns into a mind reading game for those who phrase their answers in a way that doesn't match the authors unless the answer can only be phrased in a certain way - if you need 3 possible answers to "cover most" chances are it turns into a mind-reading game for most people :P
Comment has been collapsed.
the 3 possible answers are the same. I hope you manage to read the answer that i will post when it ends. everything will be much clearer and maybe it will help on future similar puzzles made by others.

I solved q3 btw, but q5 still doesn't make sense :P
Comment has been collapsed.
it's not actually a guessing problem per say . . . of you know what it is you solve it easily

wits means = The natural ability to perceive and understand; intelligence. (this isn't a hint, it's just a definition)

Stuck on 3 and 5 as well. It's 6 am and I shouldn't be up doing this. Going to go to bed x_x Thanks for the puzzle though!
Comment has been collapsed.
it will be tougher to find out that secret answer :D it's kind-of random. But you can do as you please with your time :D q3 is easier than you think
Comment has been collapsed.
well it is sort of a random guessing but not completely random. It has a connection with the puzzle.
Comment has been collapsed.
I hate you for number 5...now just to figure out 3
Comment has been collapsed.
q5 is easy :D q3 is also easy . . . if you know what you're looking at
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, 3 I apparently have no idea what i'm looking at
Comment has been collapsed.
Dude, it's already 7 hours, please let the hints out. Especially number 3.
We've been waiting for the hints. Don't leave us dry here. :o
Comment has been collapsed.
Everything was easy except 3 and 5, the hints make no sense
I first opened this when it was less than an hour old and I still can't get 3 or 5
EDIT: Those new Hints aren't really hints at all... just "there is another way to do it but you probably shouldn't do that" "there are multiple answers" it already says that in the quiz, also not a hint... and "they are easy except for the one everyone is stuck on"
EDIT: I got 5. I doubt I will get 3 though
EDIT: Goddamn, it's almost 2am and I have Uni tomorrow, but I only have Q3 left and if I sleep now by the time I am able to come look at this again it will already be over..
QUADRUPLE EDIT: I got 3 but I still dont understand it
Comment has been collapsed.
i still haven't figured out how to give a hint on q3 without giving the answer.
Comment has been collapsed.
Is 3 related to anything else in the quiz or it "Their Wits" the only thing we have to work with?
I know Q5 is related to something else somehow but I don't get what
Comment has been collapsed.
q3 isn't related to anything else. It's the only thing you have to work with.
Comment has been collapsed.
I accidentally answered, was about to give up and somehow miraculously entered a word, and it turns out it was (one of the possible) answers.
Comment has been collapsed.
don't belittle yourself. You have wits, but what you don't have is experience with the problem at hand since you've never encountered it by now(or if you did you forgot about it).
Comment has been collapsed.
they are no one :D , i keep telling you guys Their Wits is not what it seems.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yup, time to just give up and wait for the answer to 3 when it's over.
Comment has been collapsed.
i'll bump the thread with the answers as well as edit the original post so that people who haven't figured it out by then know what it was all about.
Comment has been collapsed.
Does the game of thrones and 300 references have to do with anything? i keep thinking thats what the hint in q5 means
Comment has been collapsed.
mo reference with anything. I just felt like writing something encouraging(i think).
Comment has been collapsed.
Stuck on 3 and 5, like most people. It's going to be interesting to see the eventual answers because I'm almost positive they will have nothing at all to do with logic. Reasoning, maybe, but logic, definitely not.
Comment has been collapsed.
Good on ya, mate. I've had three naps since I started working on this, and my brain says "That's a crock."

Giveaway has ended.
To the victor goes the spoils.
http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/0qEeG
For lazy copy paste people
10 question.
10+ answers.
1 bundle game.
No contribution required.
It's not Skyrim, it's a bundle game.
I'm not lying.
Giveaway ends in 10 min.
I like pie.
So . . . . ATTACK!
Hints:
There is a secret word that solves all the questions. It's not completely random but hard to find nonetheless. So i suggest finding the answers to the questions and worry less on the solve-it-all word.
All questions have multiple answers in either letters or numbers some have even up to 6 possible answers(don't let this scare you off, since they are there as answers for different minds).
All questions are easy(except for q3 it seems) if you solve them logical.
The Answers To The Puzzle:
q1: How many sides does a sphere have ? (numbers or words are both ok)
q1a:1, one, infinite. Why so ? Well theoretically a sphere has but 1 side surrounding the entire area but practically you may say that it is composed out of on infinite number of tiny sides that cover all of the surface.
q2: How many eggs does the average rooster lay per day ?
q2a: none, 0, zero, null(for the normal minds), 2 balls,two balls (for the perverted minds). Why so ? A rooster is a male it doesn't lay eggs. The other answers . . . well . . . as i said . . . it's a male ;D .
Q3: Their Wits
Q3a: this, hist, hits, shit, sith. Why so ? This was an anagram( scrambled words ). I think this was the most hardest question of them all(besides the secret word that unlocked everything). I agree that figuring out it was an anagram was hard for . . well . . . 99.5% of the players. If you would have figured out it was an anagram you could simply go to an anagram solver and you would have gotten a list of 130 combinations of words. OMG 130 combinations ???!!!?!?! Most of them make no sense but at the end of the list you could spot a giant block that says "write hist/write hits/write shit/write sith/write this". Any of them would have worked.
q4: Question 3 was easy right?
q4a: yes, no, bastard. :)) It was up to you to decide, i can't force decide for you (but you could call me a bastard for making such a hard question such as q3 )
Q5: I'm thinking of a number between 0 and 99999. Brute-forcing might take a while. But you should guess it if you think back to the first question.
Q5a: 54321, fifty-four thousand three hundred twenty-one, fifty four thousand three hundred twenty one, fifty-four thousand three hundred and twenty-one, fifty four thousand three hundred and twenty one. Why so ? The subtle hint for this question was inside the question itself "back to the first question". Which is q5 q4 q3 q2 q1 => 5 4 3 2 1 =>54321. Some might not have figured this at all, and some might have thought it was 4321, but some would also have tried 54321 to see what would have happened :D .
q6: This questions are dumb aren't they ?
q6a: yes, no . Again you decide whether or not they're dumb or not. No decision forcing what so ever :D
q7: Did you knew that all these questions had multiple optional answers ?
q7a: yes, no, really? . Maybe you knew maybe you didn't . . . I can't read your mind now, can i ?
q8: 2 more questions to go, right ?
q8a: yes, no. Maybe some don't know to count very well, so it's a forgiving question either way.
Q9: Just so you know, there's just one more question so just write the answer in the box.
Q9a: the answer in the box., the answer in the box . Why so ? Well . . . the statement clearly says to write "the answer in the box", as in you should write that as the answer. Some tried with just "the answer" or "answer", unfortunately for them that was not the entire answer and it was incorrect.
q10: what climbs up trees and throws poo at you ? Those foul creatures.
q10a: monkey, monkeys, a monkey. Never, ever, eat a friggin banana in front of caged monkey at the Zoo . . . they throw poo at you. I think most people got that it was a monkey because an elephant or a crocodile would be pretty confusing if you ever sow them in a tree. Especially if They where throwing poo at you.
1100 players have tried their luck. 17500 guesses where made. 23 solvers did it. 14 joined the giveaway. 1 person won.
I would like to thank everyone that participated, tried their luck, and entered my twisted puzzle mind. I hope you enjoyed the puzzle even if it wasn't as easy as you thought (or as i thought as a matter of fact) .
F.A.Q.
What does Wits mean ? According to the dictionary (and myself and some other people too), it means, and i quote, " The natural ability to perceive and understand; intelligence.".
How could someone bruteforce Q5 and Q3 ? Simple. Q5 was made out of numbers and could easily (but time consuming) randomly inputed, but, there would have not been enough time. As for Q3, one person wrote "shit" as a random word when he thought of poo on q10. You could call it bruteforce, i call that luck :D
Your english, you have none ! I hope that now that Q3 was explained you can understand why the words "Their Wits" made no sense and why my english has nothing to do with it :P . . and that was a statement not a question.
Your puzzle is dumb ! Again with the statements. q6 was there to speak your mind . . . too bad i couldn't see what was chosen by the majority.
Tha super-duper-magic-unlock-it-all-secret word. What was it, you meanie ? It was . . . . get ready . . . . TAM TADA DAM . . . . "banana". A lot more than i thought have figured it out, as in i was expecting no one to figure it out at all since the only connection is with, q10, the monkey. Yet it seems Magicka used that secret word before me :))
Are we there yet ? Yes. This is it. And again, Thank you for participating, and good luck on the next evil puzzle that i, or someone else, might "inflict" upon you ;D
