Instead, I present the laziest yet largest puzzle giveaway I've made. Each set of ten questions allows you entry to a shared group of fifteen great games, while also giving you the links for four still-pretty-good games unique to that set of questions. Most require level one, but there are several games not requiring contribution. Many of these games have been bundled by now, but none are what some call 'bundle trash'. Hopefully FTL, AC III, Bastion, Watch Dogs, Castle of Illusion, Endless Space, Mirror's Edge and others interest you enough!

If you know/can remember/can figure out why these questions are lazy despite there being forty of them, then lucky you! However, please keep that knowledge to yourself.

Set A
Set B
Set C
Set D

To console non-participants, KCPW6 wants to help. Giveaways end 7AM UTC 16/4 (ended).

Please do not share answers or links. In familial circumstances, limiting entries to 1 per giveaway per household is fine.

Solutions below
Set A
Set B
Set C
Set D

For the curious, all the questions were taken from an SG chat trivia session you can compare yourself to here, where this was the prize. I re-used all my questions, with some small optimisations. All the old trivia logs are linked here.

One lucky duck managed to win a whole third of the prizes! Some crazy odds there, or SG being weird on giveaways that end at the same time :o

Some minor explanations of my expectations re:
B2 - Aus. Robin Hood = Ned Kelly, 'their kind' = bushranger, so 'longest surviving bushranger' in google gives captain thunderbolt. Also mentioned as such on Wikipedia page for bushrangers.
C5 - There were many failed social media services back then, but out of the 'household brands, I was expecting recognition for MSN/Windows Live Messenger to be right up there, which would lead to either googling 'msn+migrated+wordpress' or the wiki page for discontinued Windows Live services and ctrl+f blog.

If you have any questions/corrections, please post below. Above all, have fun :)

I couldn't fine the Set A Q1 answer. I tried every name from Wikipedia but none worked. But maybe I was just searching the wrong answer XD I'm not really knowledgeable of the American administrative system XD

Oh sorry, not all the questions are to be taken literally! Or rather, sometimes they refer to a different, non-obvious thing/person. Try googling other elements and see what they turn up that can be searched for alongside the first part(s).

It seems this hint should make it so obvious but the last hour has proven me differently. lol

Maybe you're adding an extra word? Only looking for the person, not the object.

Loving this puzzle, but I'm stumped on Set A question 4. Grrr. Oh well.

You need to answer me literally, but the question refers to something slightly different.

These are honestly super hardcore puzzles, without hints... I only made a super small dent on SETs A and B. I don't think I'll be able to finish any...

Set D seems to be holding out as still unsolved, try your skill and spin the wheel!

My head is not really well, so I couldn't do much with the puzzles (still appreciate it) but thankfully the "open" raffle is for a game I wanted for some time (actually the trilogy). So thank you for that.

Set A solved. Moving on.

Seeing as how no-one has solved Set D yet, I have to say several of the questions there are rather deceptive - stick to reasoning with the words used and not any assumptions you might be tempted to make. ie if something seems to be left out or included weirdly, there's probably a reason for it :)
