Hmm. Challenge 4 almost seems a bit too convenient. There has to be a catch.

My brain is so full of **** that I have to spew it on Flamebate so I don't have to suffer a lobotomy

#4 is tricky, so to speak.

As tricky as #2… ? Log in to see images!

#4 is ****ing me off.

I can’t find a discernible pattern that is correct.

Is the answer supposed to be the fourth part of the third set or the start of a new set?

I’ll reiterate his hint.

It would be appropriate to fill in the blank for the ?. It is part of the same set it is grouped with.

Could I ask contestants for a favor? Please send me a friend request (you don’t have to) – it would make sending out Tubmails a lot easier on me.

handofg0d Posted:

Challenge 3+ will be TM’s

If it’s all TMs, then you can just use “Reply”, right? That’d make it “a lot easier” on you.

I went almost four years without a custom title and all I got was this custom title. Also, male reproductive organs.

Awesome contest.

Posting here to increase hog’s flamebate score

Also to say that the 2nd challenge was relatively easy, but I seem to be stuck on the 3rd. I’d like to think I started going in the right direction but then got stuck rather than being completely turned around.

Sorting through all the incorrect answers to find the people who need the next days TM takes longer than clicking on the drop down list and typing the first letter of their name Log in to see images!

I also said it was optional.

Oh, right. I was thinking the next one comes immediately, because I’m a couple of days behind so it did for me.

Partial roadblock at this one. Meh…
I can’t figure out if the three goups are correlated. So i’ll just continue to brute force the latter.
I’m teh suck at predicting sequences.

And call it a weird hunch, but i think challenge #5 is going to be easier than #4

They make half sense. I convert to something which should be able to be converted again to make sense, but they don’t.

No smart hints. Don’t ruin it.
