Group giveaway (Ending in an hour!)
http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/jrydc/

Will be doing more group-only giveaways so JOIN The Co-Op Initiative TODAY!


Hello again! Since the major puzzle I am making will take some time to complete, I decided to give away a copy of Half Life 2: Episode 2! What better than a mini-puzzle to satisfy YOUR puzzle needs?

This puzzle is much simpler than my previous one. It consists of a single Its Too Hard page with 20 "questions".
Further instructions are given in the puzzle page.

THE CLASSIC:

THE ALTERNATIVE VERSION, REWARDS AN EXTRA GAME (TOGETHER WITH HL2:E2):
http://itstoohard.com/puzzle/I7ixWxcB

Giveaways end on 25th January (wow a LOT of time!)
Good luck.

A small tip: The answers do not need to be on a dictionary.

Another tip: Do not stay at a single question. If you try to solve the next question only after solving the current one, you will NEVER complete this puzzle.

Hint #1: One of the answers is one of the questions!

Hint #2 (about the 2nd question, since that question is kinda unguessable due to a mistake): "I went to the movies, but I MISSED a movie I wanted to see last weekend, because I was late. I am so..."

I gave up after reading the directions. There are probably, what, 1,000 possibilities for each answer? I don't have that kind of time. xD

None should be too hard to guess. You will need to do a bit of research, but with some googling and synonym lookup you will solve most of them. About the others... you will have to figure out the secret!

The main problem is... every time we get a question wrong, we must wait 30 seconds to try any answer... so.... this puzzle WILL take ANYONE, AT LEAST an hour to complete... this not to win, but for a CHANCE to win HL2:E2.
REALLY not worth the time honestly; IF there were no wrong asnwer delays, mighta just have been a little bit of fun... This actually applies to all puzzles on itstoohard; those delays are just mood killers.

lol, only people with ALOT of free time will get this one, I give up as well...
the answers are linked to the questions...in any way... that gives us... too many possibilities.

Here's a word: car.

Now think of all the words related to it: truck, vehicle, wheel, axle, paint, hood, trunk, tire, fuel, gasoline, road, travel, bus, go, vacation, race, mat, engine, snow, freeway, catalytic, steer, turn, traction, drive, driving, driver, drives.

That might be 1% of all the words related to the word "car."

Imagine listing 5x that number of words, waiting 30 seconds in between each guess, and later being told the word was "port."

You've created an essentially impossible quiz by making it the length it is.

So true

Most of time it is a synonym or something easily found by google. Not something too far away. Sometimes it is not - but thats the secret of the puzzle. It is solvable though. Except for one question that is very hard to guess, but still has something to do with the question.

I just want to give a bit of perspective here - your alternate puzzle that rewards extra games has
2,517 guesses
308 players
50 solvers

while your original puzzle has
2,343 guesses
425 players
0 solvers

which goes to show you how difficult it really is, compared to how difficult you seem to think it is.

Not trying to troll or bash, I just advise rethining either the length or the content of future puzzles, it is pointless to have a puzzle you cant solve, right? Regardless, awesome concept, more people should offer co-op deals as puzzles.

YOU HAVE FIVE!?!!?! Wow... you're either very very lucky because you got like 3 in the first try; or you really need to find yourself something better to do with your time... or you managed to hack the stupid 30s timer.

Luckily I already have the Half-life game.

This is the kind of puzzle you're supposed to guess on, which doesn't really work when you have to wait 30 seconds between each guess...

+2. I might attempt it if there were no wait time, but since there is, I gave up without even trying.

+3. ItsTooHard needs an option to adjust the timer.

You can bypass the time limit if you open up various browsers and use a different IP:PORT proxy on each browser. Hidemyass.com has a bunch of updated proxies and is my favorite site on the subject.

That's too much work for a puzzle...
I am not sure whether I would put so much effort if 2K collection or Bethesda collection was given away, but for Half-Life2... not really

Still 0 solvers. The puzzle is ridiculously cryptic. My guess is the answers have something to do with assassin's creed, but that's as far as my mind goes. Noone wil solve this, and it's hardly a puzzle when noone even understands what the hell is going on..

Most are easy. Problem is that you people tend to overthink it. If the answer is not related to the question, it is related to something else that is guessable. This puzzle is a casual puzzle. You should work on it a hour a day~, do not take it HARDCORE. You've got a LOT of time, dude.

Not fake. There are some hardcore ones that aren't DIRECTLY related to the clue, but are still solvable (there is a secret in the puzzle that you should figure out).

Woah, as I can see from your other private giveaways where you have one or two entries at most, I understand that your puzzles cannot be solved! Also, I would need a lot of free time to do so, but I do not happen to have that time ;p

As I mentioned in a comment somewhere above, I doubt whether I would strain my brain so much for Bethesda Collection or 2K Collection giveaway, which makes a Half-Life 2 impossible puzzle giveaway an exclusion from my list... Sorry, but it is just too hard!

Third question of second puzzle makes no sense at all, there's no particular hint that would lead us to find the answer. I'm sorry The SteamDude but your puzzles are not worth taking time to solve.
