[Puzzle] A Puzzle a Day #5 - Back to the Classics (Mind Reading)

Releasing this one a bit early because I'm not sure if I'll have internet tomorrow.

Ever so often, we get one of those puzzles that just makes you want to pound your head in exasperation. You know what I'm talking about - that quiz, almost always from a first-time puzzle maker that requires you to read his/her mind to even understand what the questions are asking. "It's so easy! I know all the answers!" And yet, one week later, there are 200 players but zero solvers. Some examples are one from VampireWood and one from Gabrithekiller (interestingly enough, both of these puzzle makers are permanently suspended). It's a good thing the average forum-goer has such a good sense of humor. Kinne developed a quiz in November 2012 poking fun at "Bad questions (what 99% of steamgifts users do)."

Then we have the troll "mind read" puzzle. One where the user knows how to make a puzzle, but expects you to mind read just because. Here's a classic from MoneyHypeMike. If I had a list of most annoying puzzles, this would lie squarely on the top. Far and few between, we have the mind reading puzzles that are actually well thought out and fair. Here's a puzzle by Award that took critical thinking to piece together the questions, but once that was done, the rest was relatively simple.

And with that, I wish you good luck with this!

Rules:
I can't believe I actually have to make this section, but apparently there are people who don't know the rules. Do not share answers, hints, giveaway links, the name of the giveaway or generally spoil the puzzle in any form.

If you solve at least half (15) of the puzzles, you will get an invite to a private giveaway at the end of July. I'll try to pick something that no one has already, but no guarantees. Please make a parent post in the giveaway to be counted. Also, to be invited to the bonus giveaway, post in A Puzzle a Day #30 with the puzzles you have solved. You are not required to solve the puzzles before the giveaways end anymore. Solving them at any point in time will count towards the 15 required puzzles

Solution

1. My recommendation for Fortix on Steam says it's the best game I've ever played.
2. Number 1 on my Steam wishlist
3. Look at the original thread and note that only one of the forum links has a description attached to the end.
4. I guess this question was a bit unfair for those people who don't go on the forums too often
5. Brute force the answer
6. I wrote a comment on my own profile that says the answer is 42.
