Difficulty: "Another puzzle solved."
Picarats: 25
A man walks around his neighborhood one day when he sees some children selling cookies at a stand. He has some money to spare so he
decides to buy a cookie. A few generous people have just recently bought some boxes of cookies. There are some chocolate chip, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon cookies out on display. The man decides to buy 1 chocolate chip cookie. He gives them the money but the children deny his request. Why?
Hint 1 (Use this Hint if you really can't figure it out)
No Hint Yet :P
CORRECT!
This puzzle was simply a test to see if this game has piqued your interest.

A random otaku who understands English gives you the word, "Cagayake". The otaku tells you to unscramble those words to create a noun that is slightly related to the anime the word is based from. You realize that the anime is much better than the manga but notice that information is irrelevant. The otaku gives you one hint. There is one adjective in the phrase. You quickly spot the answer and realize how dumb it is. What is the noun? What is the adjective? Now, what is the entire phrase?
Hint 1 :
Hmm, unless some people find this challenging I will keep the hint hidden.
CORRECT!
K-ON!! was a far better anime than a manga. Cagayake Girls was the song that this puzzle was referring to. This
puzzle has such a juvenile answer that I barely consider it a puzzle. Enjoy knowing that you can spell "Gay Cake" with that song title. Actually, maybe not. Forget this puzzle ever happened.

Puzzle 3:

Below is a picture consisting of many lines overlapping each other. If you look closely you can see some numbers. But, your goal is to find a letter from A-Z. You must find the letter that I am referring to in my explanation. Lets see if u got it.
CORRECT!
You've probably noticed the "u" in the last sentence. That itself was a hint. Giving you the idea that the answer is A,Z, or U.
Once you've deducted that then things would get a little trickier. You would probably need to use 2 of your free guesses to solve this but
there is no penalty for the 2nd guess. Unless, you've guess "U" as well. "U" would not be a likely answer is there are no curves.
Hint 1 :
The letter you're looking for is much more clear in the explanation than the picture. But, its way more obvious in the picture once you find out what letter it is. The letter is a capital letter.

Puzzle 4:
SPOILER
FIXED
Difficulty: "Every puzzle has an answer." SPECIAL
Picarats: 30 x2 * 's (Requires explanation for full points) (Guesses earn half)
You see some numbers on a wall. There are 3 rows and 4 columns. Your friend tells you that if you add and subtract
the numbers just right you'll find that the numbers 1, 2, and 3 will be shown. But, you must follow the same rules that he did. Also, you must find the least number of adding/subtracting it would take to do so.
1. Add/Subtract as many numbers as you like from the same row.
2. The number(s) that you have added/subtracted will become a new number.
3. Then, add/subtract the number to another number in another row.
4. The number you add/subtract (Not the number you are adding to or subtracting from.) will be erased from the row that is was in.
Example for Rule 2: On the last row you have a 3,2,1. You add the 3 to the 1 and you get a 4. The 3 and the 1 are gone from the row and replaced with 4.
Hint 1:
You're making the 3 rows end up with 1,2 and 3. They can be 3,2,1 or 1,2,3 but your job is to find
the least amount of changes that you'll need to make.
Also, what do you think the zeroes are there for?
CORRECT!
Of course, this is still an Easy level puzzle.
You weren't expecting a hard to find answer were you?

You invite guests over to your house for lunch break and they find pieces of paper all over your coffee table.
"Hey, I bet we can do something fun with these." says one of your guests. Your guests decide to grab some nearby
scissors and cut the paper into several pieces. When you get back with some sandwiches you realize that they have
cut and ripped most of your newspapers from this morning. "I was going to read those!" you strongly replied.
They left a hidden word in their paper pieces. The word has something to do with the paper scheme itself.
EDIT: Oh, and there is missing 1 piece.
Hint 1:
The first letter is a T.

Uh oh, I need to think of a puzzle quickly! With all my puzzle notes I find a text adventure, an anagram, a hidden word and a route puzzle. I need to choose something that goes with the flow of this puzzle explanation. What puzzle should I NOT choose?
Hint 1:
Too easy! If you really need a hint, I pity you.
CORRECT!
An anagram would be hard to make out of this. This puzzle is pretty much a text adventure. A hidden word wouldn't be too hard to make. Adding some arrows and direction to anything can make a good route puzzle.

Difficulty: Challenging?
Picarats: 20 (Earns 3 * 's)
There are 7 people in a room. 1 person is watching the 6 other people and currently have no sentences to say but will later on. 2 other people are next to each other and have 10 sentences to say to each other. The other 4 people have nothing to say at all. The 4 people are around the 2 people. The 1 person is a larger distance away from those other 6 people. The people talking to each other and the number of them will change periodically. The 1 person will occasionally be near the 6 other people. 3 people here have a lot to say to the other people. The original 2 people are one of the 3. 2 other people will not need to say anything throughout the entire time.
Find out where they are and categorize each person's job/function.
With all this information you would think the answer is easy to find.
Fine, one more hint. Most of the people are moving around when they are speaking.
Hint 1:
There are actually a lot more people here. These people are doing something around a lot of other people.

I was forced to watch the 45th SuperBowl today. (Actually, I was just strongly encouraged) The Packers and the Steelers had a great game but the game really felt long. The game reminded me of a simple route-related puzzle which I decided to duplicate. The objective is to find out the best person to pass the ball to. The Orange player is the one holding the ball. (Offense) The gray is the direction the offense team is going and the other is the direction the defense team is going. Assume that if the lines are crossing the players will run into each other. The players will only move once you pass the ball.
Hint 1 :
Do not read this like you normally would for a football play.
CORRECT!
This puzzle will be an example of more bonus puzzles to come. Oh, and if you've watched the Super Bowl. I hope you didn't bet on the Steelers. Good night.

MINI GAME : Text Adventure
SPOILER
This is a mini game where you aren't deducted points for guessing. Good actions give you an extra Picarat while bad actions will deduct a Picarat from your overall score. (Won't go below zero) Finding the right solution will give you +5 extra Picarats. You are allowed 1 action per post.
You wake up in a sturdy tool shed. There is an open door with nothing visible outside. Two windows that seem too small for you to fit through. Some large pebbles on the floor that look light enough to carry.
Find a way out!
