Kinda. I didn't get the second, but the 4th does match this order.

The second one matches the order too. And the 1st one too probably, personally I knew this one because of the TV show of the same name, but I see it's based on a novel (book).

Yes. Hint (hopefully in the correct spirit of OP): you can completely ignore the gamertags on that list, they are irrelevant.

Got that. Thanks. I think the 4th is pretty simple, i might add a picture of a calculator as a hint.

Another hypothesis: I got only Q1 and Q9 only so far... based on the answers, I would not be surprised if the answers are in alphabetical order? Based on what you folks found, is that possible?

Pretty possible. I had that idea too. So far it works 1,2,4.

it's not, the third doesn't start with C

Well, I do not mean every letter in the alphabet, but just that the 9 answers might be in alphabetical order, what would be very helpful towards the end. :D

Did you solve it? Is it in alphabetical order? I'm stuck at 3
Because from solving 1-2-4, 3 definitely should start with a C

I am missing only Q5 now.

So far, my answers are in alphabetic order... except exactly for Q3. I mean, had I answered only this person's LAST name (which is by far well known, and is what the hint picture led me to), the alphabetic order would be kept. But for some reason the itstoohard page did NOT accept just that -- it seems you need "first name" and "last name" for this particular answer.

(...and this is really ironic, since Q3 should have special consideration for alphabets.)

Also: some first letters were repeated for me, so do not expect a direct A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I order.

EDIT: got Q5! WOO-HOO! Except for the Q3 shenanigans, yes, alphabetic order.

No offense, but I think the alphabetical order is just pure coincidence. That's why it's not perfect.

It is possible. I would like to argue for the alphabetic order, but Q3 does not help my theory... :D :D

Happy Cakeday! I am too dense for this puzzle, everything I have guessed have come up empty, save for Q1. I will look forward to seeing the answers eventually. :-)

I am still struggling with half the answers but the hints dropped by everyone really helped me so far.
You're way better than I am at puzzles so you definitely should give it another look with the hints

Anybody have an idea what are we looking at in Q5? It looks like "not" sign, but I was unable to figure out the answer basing on that...

I thought Tetris piece going over the waterfall there but I can't figure any of these out so far. I'm hoping once I get one of them I'll know what direction I need to go in or how to think or play the game and they will all start to hit me.
