Thanks to MUCH help by M. Krass, we (myself and the four people that joined me) ended up getting all the way to 1.14. What I don't understand (or rather, what isn't made clear) is how the colors are counted... i.e. - what is considered purple and what is considered pink?

I think that's what stumped us.

I think the most fun question was the movie titles... the only ones I didn't know were Hitchcock's steps, the vicious circle (man, that one made us angry when we finally figured it out!), and the state of Britain. argh.

Someone please im me the answer to 1.4

me too, or pm me. im still stuck, two days later.

Never mind that last part, I got 2.8.

I'll be really happy to know what you think of 2.9.

1.5 has me in a state of mental block.....

1.4 stumps me...anyone care to help me?

1.5: send the grandmother and mother at the same time. remember you can leave people there.

1.4: think of other names for a horse. you might have one sometimes. usually at night. just like the horse.

Thanks to the help of M and George I'm on 1.6 now...

The intro is quite honest. When you take one of these, there's another one there. That is, "taking one" means creating one.

I'm stuck on 1.13
 

1) All my sources seem to indicate that Joseph Farwell invented barbed wire, but it was Joseph Farwell Glidden, and anyway, the single question mark indicates that the answer need a single initial. I can't find any reference to another inventor named Joseph Farwell. I suppose that if you overlook the Glidden stuff, and spell the invention as a single word, you can get a B, but I've tried that with all the other variables I can think of.

2) A Basilisk is a mythical creature with the head of a rooster, and the body of a serpent. I've tried (D)ragon, (M)ythical and (S)erpent (again with all the other variables.)

3) The captain of the 1966 winning world cup team is fairly straightforward -- unless maybe Bobby also goes by Robert.

4) It was fairly easy to come up with the city that the group Oasis hails from.

5) And for the purposes of this quiz, should Pip's convict/benefactor be known by his first or last name? (Only a single initial is requested.)

6) And again, the play that actors believe is unlucky to name is easy.

7) The archangel said to have defeated Satan is an easy one too. (Even though someone on the net wanted to make him a saint. Sorry, only humans qualify.)

8) Crystalline elements / compounds of which rocks are made? Can there be any other word?

9) Mike Nesmith and Peter Tork were members of which group?? Two words!! They want to include the article??? Strange!

10) The Jalapeno Chili is named after the city Xalapa in the state of Veracruz, but considering the pattern that seems to be being set up, they must want the country. But I've tried all three. (But I haven't tried the alternate spelling of Jalapa.)

11) And who saw the burning bush? Oy vey! What schlemiel wouldn't know that?

12) And as for who said "I don't see any American Dream, I see an American Nightmare"?? The only possible answer I could find was Malcom X.

Any tips anyone?

Re: I'm stuck on 1.13
 

Alright. Here's what I feel like offering...;)

1) Go with Joseph Farwell Glidden's invention.

2) For this game's purposes, I believe it is considered a lizard.

3) Go with Bobby.

5) Last name only.

10) Don't worry about the city or state, just think about what country the jalapeno chili pepper comes from.


The rest are easily searchable by the web. This was the hardest out of the trivia triplets, in my opinion. The rest were cake.

Re: I'm stuck on 1.13 <--scratch that.. 2.8
 

Go with what amanda just said...

Anybody feel like giving the anti-gifted a hint on 2.8? Please? small hint...

Hhehe...I typed in something for 1.3 that was completely random...it was apparently the correct answer for 1.4 because I'm on the page for 1.5 now...craziness...

finally on 1.5
