brynne528, why do you write: "I've read that hint 100 times". In this puzzle hints are videos or images. The text after "Q4" isn't so useful to solve that question.

The text helps, there is an important information to use, but it's too generic: just you know the story is in a book too. The two videos are really useful, you can figure out something and to search. Just realize what is important to search and you should get it as first result the answer or so.

Perhaps I should add a few seconds to the second video.

Been stuck on Q12 for hours now. But it's a great quiz, will you release the answers to the questions after time limit? Would realy like to know the 12th and have a crazk on 13, feels like i've tried all possible sollutions on 12 already, hehe. Probably misspelled the right title.

Yes, I'll post the solution after the giveaway is closed and the gift is sent.

Please, pay attention to what you write: no direct questions about the videos. I don't want to see something such as "Is it ?" or "Is it related to ?", etc... Read carefully what I wrote in the opening post.
Edit: Thanks for editing/deleting that.

Some questions after Q4 seems easier:
Q4 players: 98 solvers: 58 (59%)
Q5 players: 58 solvers: 53 (91%)
Q6 players: 53 solvers: 51 (96%)
Q7 players: 48 solvers: 44 (91%)

I just added some hints for Q4, refresh the page if you are stuck at it to update the videos. It should help a bit to get the right answer. Do you need more? I might add more seconds to the second video or different hints.

Am I blind or something? I can't see a link to the puzzle.

Stuck on Q11, even after the "hint" video unlocked.

Itstoohard hints scheduled time:
Q2. Hint delay: 1 hour (time after the first guess)
Hints are two images.
Q3. Hint delay: 6 hours
Hint is an image.
Q4. Hint delay: 2 hours
Hint is a new video.
Q6. Hint delay: 6 hours
Hint is a the same video but without the face blurring.
Q7. Hint delay: 6 hours
Hint is a new video for the first of the two questions.
Q8. Hint delay: 3 hours
Hint is an image.
Q11. Hint delay: 12 hours
Hint is a new video.
Q11 hint is a good hint, but check the timer or it may be too late. The question requires good guessing, same as Q4, because it's likely you don't recognize any actors there.

It isn't supposed to be hard. Success ratio is almost 100%. Maybe have you change strategy? :-)
Comment has been collapsed.
What do you mean? If you can't see the new video for the question 1, try to refresh the page, there is a glitch sometime. Or maybe you meant you didn't try to guess the answer and so the timer remains unchanged.

There is an useful function called history in your browser. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Well I personally don't keep history in my browser and something like that happened to me as well, eh. I mean not now, I did bookmark the last question but I guess only thing I might be doing with that is inflate ratio of unsolved to solved >.>

I still don't understand why you aren't in the group of the solvers, I'm sure you made the right guesses, so you have just to use them accordingly. Maybe is missing one of them useful to solve the puzzle.

Thank you for believing in me :) Well sometimes it happens you get so close yet so far away, some puzzles haunt me to this day. At least I can bump yer thread :D I'm likely to make last ditch effort some time before the timer ends, no promises though :) Still, pretty cool idea with quiz!
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, 2 hours after the first guess you can unlock a second video. I have also added two alternative videos using a note link, they have no sound but more seconds.

Thank you for reporting (please, remove the links).

This is a quiz based on movies in my favorite list. What you mainly need to do is to identify some movies from short video sequences or images. If you solve the puzzle, you will get a private giveaway link and an invite to a Steam group for more giveaways.
The game for the puzzle giveaway is Monkey Island: Special Edition Bundle, which includes two amazing adventure games (please don't enter the giveaway if you already played one of these games) created by Ron Gilbert, David Grossman, and Tim Shafer. The first group giveaway is a 30P game included in this list, the second group giveaway isn't chosen yet (I might open a poll within the group on a list of 5 or 6 games I can give away).
Videos provided in the quiz, except the first one, are from my personal video library. Audio is in Italian language only, this is made intentionally nevertheless speaking Italian language doesn't help you very much to solve the quiz. Every questions use the multi-answer feature of itstoohard.com, answers in a language other than English should be accepted (I used Wikipedia and IMDb as source), in case of problems use English. Answers aren't case sensitive, and if a movie title starts with a definite article, it should be included (The Big Whoop, not Big Whoop).
There are many well-known movies and actors/actress, so the quiz shouldn't be very hard, at least the most of it. You have a good chance of solving the puzzle even if you don't recognize any actor/actress. I designed this puzzle to be solved in more than one way.
No sharing of answers, hints, giveaway URL. Do it yourself, on your own. Please do not reply to anyone who asks for the link in the comments, it's their fault for not reading. Enter the giveaways only if you are interested to play the game, not redeeming the gift will result in a ban for you. /puzzle/V9GflxSC Please note also I have a blacklist of people who have spoiled or cheated in my puzzles, if one of them wins I'll request a reroll, don't waste time. I'll request a reroll even if the winner has abused giveaways with exploitable keys (recent exploited keys such as Darksiders and Saints Row 3 - Special Ops DLC included), don't matter this isn't a contributor giveaway.
If you wish to report any problem privately, you can get into the SteamGifts chat and PM me from there, or send a PM via Steam Forum. Don't add me, don't ask for hints via chat. I can give some hints in this thread or directly in video, if necessary. The questions have names for reference ("Q1", "Q2"...), pay attention to what you write if you post here, don't spoil the puzzle.
