Here's my first puzzle and first giveaway.

I won't lie some of the questions are hard, and some of them might be easy if you got lucky.

I think the difficulty of this one lies between hard and normal, standing very close to hard.

Hope you enjoy, and manage to solve it all!

Here you go!

Hint: In Q6, if you tried a name that has "c" in it, maybe you should also try it with a "k" instead.

Hint: Don't think Q2 as only 1 number, the answer is the next number.

Hint: For Q1, one of his songs was in a Guitar Hero 3 DLC.

We had 5 solvers and 4 entries. Closed.

Questions & Answers

Q&A 1:

Who is one of the best guitarists ever lived? (Hint: He has a white Les Paul with red killswitch buttons on it.)

Brian Patrick Carroll (Buckethead)

Q&A 2:

10111011111011110110001

It is the binary sequence typed w/o spaces of prime numbers.

10 11 101 111 1011 1101 10001 so the next number is 10011.

2 3 5 7 11 13 17 so the next number is 19.

Q&A 3:

2, 3, 5, 11, 23, 47, 97, 191, 379, 761, ?

It is the sequence of primes starting with 2 and next number being the smallest prime greater or equal to the sum of the primes so far written.

2 = 2, 3 >= 2, 3 is the smallest prime greater or equal to sum 2.

2 + 3 = 5, 5 >= 5, 5 is the smallest prime greater or equal to sum 5.

2 + 3 + 5 = 10, 11 >= 10, 11 is the smallest prime greater or equal to sum 10.

...

2 + 3 + 5 + 11 + 23 + 47 + 97 + 191 + 379 + 761 = 1519, 1523 >= 1519, 1523 is the smallest prime greater or equal to sum 1519,
thus also is the next number in the sequence.

Q&A 4:

[Batman Begins Spoiler]

Quote below was said by whom?

"We sacked Rome, loaded trade ships with plague rats, burnt London to the ground. Every time a civilization reaches the pinnacle of its decadence, we return to restore the balance."

James Clerk Maxwell united optics, magnetism and electricity with his famous Maxwell's Equations.

Nikola Tesla invented Alternating Current.

Judging by the Q5 and Q6, what is my major in college?

My major in college is Electrical Engineering, Electrical & Electronics Engineering, or Electrical and Electronics Engineering.

Thanks for participation, hopefully you enjoyed the ride.

I'm stuck at Q1 and Q2. I was confident about Q1, but wrong at all combination of that name (he has that les paul and even was in DLC). Q2 can't figured what all that numbers mean. It doesn't make sense to my in binary or divided to separate bytes, i don't see any sequences either.
Just stuck :D

for q1 try his real name.
for q2 the hint is sufficient, more hint would kind of ruin the puzzle.

ok, i got the first one, but still stuck on second. So, can you at least tell me if it's some kind of sequences of numbers or if it's binary and has to be converted. :)

It's a sequence.

Thanks :) I taught so, but I can't solve it anyway... i have an idea that even explain that 3 zeros at end, but my next numbers was still wrong.
