Hey guys,
maybe someone remembers that group puzzle I made 3 months ago. I've promised I'm going to make a second group puzzle and here it is, a little bit late but better late than never I guess :D

This time there are screenshots from 80 games, 30 animes and 20 movies splitted in 10 parts.

The rules are basically the same as last time.

  • You have to solve an "entry puzzle" by your own to get to the group part.
  • Please don't share the solutions of these "entry puzzles".
  • But of course you can share your opinions, solutions you already tried and stuff like this for the group puzzles.

Some new things this time:

  • This time there are 3 "entry puzzles", one for every category (games, animes and movies)
  • In Every of the 10 parts the question 1-8 are games, 9-11 animes and 12 & 13 movies. So there aren't special movie and anime parts this time.
  • There are also 3 bonus parts (also group puzzles) in which you can vote for additional GAs.
  • This time there will be a time limit. If you don't solve all 10 parts in this time limit, there only will be a bad rats GA :P
  • I give a hint if at least 5 people request one for the same Question. But every hint shortens your time limit by 5 hours!
  • No hints for the bonus parts
  • There is also a special GA if you manage to solve all 10 parts and the 3rd bonus part. To Enter this GA you have to be the first one who solved at least one question in the group or bonus parts (except questions I gave a hint for!) and you should have a ITH account with the same name as your steam account (so that I can identify you)

You have time until 26th May 2015 10pm (CEST)

Oh and of course you can vote for the game for the GA again :D

So I hope you have fun!

Here are the "entry puzzles" you can choose (all lead to the same group puzzle so you just have to solve one of them):
Games
Animes
Movies

That was the group part:

There are 5 possible answers for this one. The IMDB Title is one of them, so I don't know why it shouldn't work

It really doen't work wtf D:

Now it should work, don't know what the problem was, the exact same title was already listed in the solutions, I've now just copy and pasted the IMDB title, looks like the same format than before but now it works.

Solved the movie puzzle, even if Q2 took me a while (I had to try many formats).
And yes, I remember very well your last puzzle, it was awesome :) I hope I'll be able to help this time and to find at least one answer!

I don't know whats wrong with that Question xD There are now 6 possible answeres listed for this one xD

Yep, I saw some comments on the thread about the same question :) Q2 is really easy, so it doesn't bother me to take some time to find the correct format, even if TempeteJoachim's comment helped me :p

And thank you very much for the whitelist, that's really kind of you and I appreciate (づ◕‿‿◕)づ
I remember very well this puzzle because I wanted so hard to find the answers and it was the first time I really felt proud of myself because I succeeded, even if it took me a while before finding the second question of the "entry puzzle". After that, I felt completely useless, despite my efforts to find at least one answer. But it was an enjoyable experience,and I hope that this time, I'll be able to participate and not only to admire the skills of some steamgifters \o/
sorry for my bad english

For some reason it didn't record my answer for The Life of Pi on part 2/10 in the group puzzles...
That is: the "Anonymous" is [probably] me.

EDIT: Also, thanks for another group puzzle! The last one was a phenomenal blast!

No, the Anonymous is not you. Someone guessed it before you. That usually happens in the groupal puzzles. For example Tempete answered the last of us some seconds before me.

Are you sure? I had to log-out and back in before it would record my answer for any of other questions...

Pretty sure. And I have never logged out of Itstoohard (or steamgifts lol)

9 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

I often find myself logged out as I tend to run CCleaner routinely, which I have set to delete cookies.

Not that it matters, in this case, I just wanted to make sure someone else doesn't claim credit for that one down the line given the caveat above that: "To Enter this GA you have to be the first one who solved at least one question in the group or bonus parts..." I'm relatively certain it was me, as I started from the bottom, hence the other questions at the bottom are also answered predominantly by me... with the exception of Aku no Hana, where you beat me. ;)

Read the rest of that line:

"you should have a ITH account with the same name as your steam account (so that I can identify you)"

Check the puzzle: I do.

To elaborate, as you seem confused, Anonymous is what ITH records when someone solves a question without being logged in... as I wasn't at the time, hence my remark about having to "log-out and back in" before I showed up as actually registered on the site with the selfsame name I use here and on Steam.

If Anonymous is what is recorded, then you can't claim credit for it, because "you should have a ITH account with the same name as your steam account (so that I can identify you)". I hope this clears up your confusion.

Mate, you're missing the point entirely...

EDIT: To avoid further, unnecessary bickering, allow me to lay out the sequence of events.

  1. I arrive on SteamGifts late in the evening, having just returned from work, spot this thread at the bottom of the homepage and transition here.
  2. I attempt to solve the "Games" entry puzzle and get stumped on the first one, though two and three were simple.
  3. I solve the "Movies" puzzle instead and move to the group stage.
  4. There is, at the time I enter, one question remaining on the 1/10 group stage. I hit F5 to refresh as I enter, to make sure it isn't being answered before I attempt to do so and... it was just solved!
  5. I flick my scrollwheel down to the bottom of the page, highlight the link and open it in a new tab, scroll immediately to the bottom of this page, spot the clue and type "Life of Pi".
  6. I hit "Check" and a faint sense of dread kicks in: the page reads first solved by Anonymous
  7. I hesitate, confident I had logged in, then flick to the top of the page: my name is not present.
  8. I open a new tab and navigate to itstoohard.com
  9. My name is there, immediately adjacent to a "Logout" link.
  10. I click the puzzle tab and refresh: my name is still not present.
  11. I log out on the ITH homepage, log back in, return to the puzzle and refresh: my name is there!
  12. I scroll immediately to the bottom of the page, move up one question and solve.
  13. Move up one more... blast, I was beaten to it by perrolijo, move up one more... solve.
  14. Move up one more and am stumped.
  15. It dawns on me that, perhaps, I should explain what happened to avoid someone else potentially claiming credit for that "Anonymous" solver and sparking an argument.

So, as you see, I don't particularly care one way or another about the question itself (hence my remark about you "missing the point") I do not need credit for it. I do, however, feel it necessary to offer a justifiable account of why --- on a page where every other question was answered by someone who was logged in --- there exists one "Anonymous" answer.

I certainly never imagined it would spark this sort of furor...

You're also missing his point

I just wanted to make sure someone else doesn't claim credit for that one

That's what you said. No one can claim credit for it because it appears as Anonymous.

See my edited response above, please. My only intent in ever posting anything regarding that one, insignificant question was to avoid someone potentially claiming it down the line. Who'd have imagined people would start jumping down my throat?

Yes, I know that was your intent, and what Saucelot was saying is that no one can come and try to claim credit for it since it is Anonymous and OP asked to have a registered account. Also no one is jumping down your throat.

...perhaps not, but that was hardly the reception I expected from what (to me) was a perfectly reasonable and concise explanation for a very minor event. Might just be the long day and weariness talking, though.

Got the movie-puzzles on first tries, had to look up the exact title of the third, but knew which movie it was.

Good puzzles, can't tell what the last 3 of the group puzzle we're currently on are though, so gonna wait for the next one to unlock. :)

May this be relevant? Could Q3 be an album pic from some nintendo game? (I don't have any nintendo console, I don't know how it looks or if it looks different according to each game...)

Well, made past one of the entry puzzles. Doesn't seem like I'll be able to help on this group puzzle as I'm not familiar with those images. But maybe for one of the other puzzles.
