OOTS Quiz XIII

[ORione]

This is the 13th edition of the OotS quiz game.

The rules are plain simple. Someone asks a question that can be answered with (one or more) oots comic strips. (However, try to avoid boring counting questions...) Then people can try to answer it which should always include a link to the strip where you can see the answer. (Please do not write something like "Ah, that's A, you can see it somewhere between OOTS141 and OOTS200. Or maybe it was also a bit later, can't remember right now, but it's definately A.")
If still no one has a clue after after -say- 24 hours (maybe earlier) hints can be given. Whoever first gives the correct answer can ask the next question.

OK, 'nuff said, let's get it started! (: YAY!)

Oh, btw... it would be nice if people edited the link to the correct strip right next to the question once it has been answered. (Not the answer itself, just where you find it.)

3) Questions have to have an answer that is demonstrated by at least one, and no more than three, canon online strip. (No bonus material either online or in the books)
4) No counting questions with more than 3 parts. For example: how many times has Roy said "the".
5) If the answer given is not the answer expected, but still technically answers the question, allow it. You can rephrase and ask your question again later.*
6) If an answer is given that in no way is correct, then players can call attention to the fact. At that point, there may be 2 questions occurring at the same time. The 1st question that was incorrectly answered is the valid question. The second question may be answered, but for no prize (aka asking the next question).
7) If your response is ninja'd, that is if someone beats you with the correct answer, please edit your post stating, "ninja'd, please answer above question".
8) After 24 hours without an answer, please provide a hint. After an additional 24 hours pass, please provide the answer and take pride that you have stumped us all.
9) Recognize that this is a game. It is supposed to be quick and fun. If a question seems to go beyond the rules, assume that the author is not familiar with the rules, and point them out. If the author affirms that the question is allowable within the rules, then continue with the game. If the question turns out to be not allowable, it becomes an open question. Groan and move on.

That seems to be a good expression of how we play the quiz game, judging by observing the posts.
If anyone wants to suggest alterations to these rules, they can discuss them here or PM me. If enough people agree with the alteration, I will edit this first post to reflect the new rule(s).


*The original rule is fine; you should be allowed to rephrase. But there's such a thing as rule overuse, which makes it wear thin eventually.

Also, there's a difference between rephrase - find a different, more precise way to word the question so it has a smaller number of possible answers - and just simply rewrite and rule out the last answer. Over and over again

New Rule:
10) Questions along the lines of "when was the first time X happened/was mentioned" are not allowed because to prove that they never happened before, one would have to link to every strip before it, which is unreasonable and would break the no-more-than-three-strips rule.

Here's a link (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=188609) to the 12th edition.

It was OQ, so I'll start with a new question:

This is a bit hard to explain, but should be easy to find.
Find three times when the first panel of the strip had a character make a comment that had nothing to do with that strip, but was related to something that happened in the strip right before it.
For example: So... cold... (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0043.html) That strip had nothing to do with Elan being cold. By panel 7 he was fine. Elan being cold was reference to V casting Cone of Cold (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0041.html) on him.
That's an example of the sort of thing I'm looking for, but that particular example doesn't count because the Cone of Cold strip was two strips away from the So Cold strip.
I hope that makes sense.

I hope that makes sense.

Just a clarification -- when you say "nothing to do with" the current strip, how separate are we talking? For instance, here (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0416.html), the strip opens with a joke about Teevo, but the rest of the strip has nothing to do with it. Then again, it's just moving on from one conversation to another in the same setting, so maybe that doesn't count...?

[ORione]

I'm thinking more along the lines of a comment that no one else acknowledges. In the example I gave, no one pays attention to Elan being cold. They're busy with the possibly trapped door.

[Gift Jeraff]

Does this (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0002.html) count? It's a follow-up to the first strip, but no one acknowledges Elan's singing or skill points.

[ORione]

That does count.

[Bluepaw]

Another sunburst spell? Hello? (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0654.html)

one more...

[Ron Miel]

"Somebody took away our monster" (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0033.html)

"There will be a reckoning." (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0129.html)

[Bluepaw]

And I'm hoping the MitD's jaunty little tune (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0701.html) will count...

You know what I could use? A nice cold glass of Ice-T...

EDIT: Whoop! Ninja'd. But seems to be open question...so carry on!

[Gift Jeraff]

If it is OQ, find 2 nicknames for O-Chul besides Mr. Stiffly. (They have to be capitalized.)

[Bluepaw]

Ugly (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0448.html)

and Scarface (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0477.html)

Lemme try again...

The question, unnecessarily sassily phrased, is: "You know what I could use? A nice cold glass of Ice-T..."

[Holy_Knight]

Ugly (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0448.html)

and Scarface (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0477.html)

Lemme try again...

The question, unnecessarily sassily phrased, is: "You know what I could use? A nice cold glass of Ice-T..."
Bluepaw, I'm not clear on what the question is supposed to be. Are you asking us to find who made that comment?

[Bluepaw]

Sorry, cryptic isn't my strong suit!

Find someone in the comic whose attention you would be able to get by yelling, "Ice-T!"

[thundrfang]

hint please?

[Bluepaw]

So sorry! I was on a long plane ride.

I'm looking for this dude (http://www.sweetslyrics.com/images/img_gal/6197_icet.jpg). He's in there, trust me.

[MoonCat]

Who is that dude?

[Bluepaw]

Who is that dude?

Why, it's Ice-T (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice-T), of course!

[Gift Jeraff]

Here (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0584.html) ya go!
Who is that dude?Ice-T (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice-T)

OQ

[Bluepaw]

That was close, my hint almost got ninja'd (hinja'd? hinjo'd?) by the answer!

Well done.

[ORione]

Find me blue flowers.

[Gift Jeraff]

Knock, knock. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0380.html)

OQ

[fibonacciseries]

What spell makes one's eyes turn blue?

[Bluepaw]

What spell makes one's eyes turn blue?

You may be looking for something else, but Thanh gets a bit of the ol' blue-eye when he's Dominated (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0516.html). But that could be coincidental, and in fact he's just taking on the eye color of the one who dominated him...

OQ if that's what you were thinking, otherwise I'll stay on the prowl.

[fibonacciseries]

Sorry, I should have phrased that better.

What spell makes the caster's eyes' turn blue?

[weebiloobil]

I'm not sure if it's a spell, but:
Celia's Lightning/Dramatic Negotiation Moment (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0617.html)

And if so, find me... a brown and red accordion

[Cizak]

If Celia's doesn't count, then it's Detect Evil. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0281.html)

Find a brown and red accordian.

[fibonacciseries]

If Celia's doesn't count, then it's Detect Evil. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0281.html).

That was what I was thinking of, but I was going to accept Celia's lightning anyway.

[Aldreck]

...find me... a brown and red accordion
5th panel (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0302.html)

Find two times Roy considered doing damage to his own ears.

Roy wants to soak his ears in acid here. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0249.html)

Still need one more.

[ORione]

It's a bit early, but I'm going to give the hint now.

Elan is the cause of the other time Roy talked about damaging his ears.

[thundrfang]

9th Panel (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0172.html)

[Howler Dagger]

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0223.html
heres the other.
Question: What was step 3?

[Bluepaw]

Question: What was step 3?

Why, it's stuffing potato salad into a giant wooden alpaca (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0389.html), of course! Stands to reason.

Larry Gardner tries to cast a spell using a faux Latin incantation, and the choir of dead pedophiles sings in faux Latin. Find a use of real Latin. If want an extra +10 internets, find two examples.

EDIT: I'm looking for examples that are in the comic itself, not the titles, and also if you're going for the extra credit, two examples in different comics!

[MoonCat]

In other words, find real Latin in one of the comic strips?

I vaguely recall you saying you were bad at cryptic. :smalltongue:

[Holy_Knight]

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0737.html

OQ
Wow, that blends into the background so much I never even saw it until now!

[Bluepaw]

In other words, find real Latin in one of the comic strips?

I vaguely recall you saying you were bad at cryptic. :smalltongue:

I do what I can. For even more fun, remember that Latin etymology doesn't count as real Latin! So, none of this: "Well, the word 'religion' comes from Latin originally..."

[MoonCat]

Wow, that blends into the background so much I never even saw it until now!

Yeah, I read about it on the Never Noticed thread a few months ago. Didn't forget. :smallcool:


I do what I can. For even more fun, remember that Latin etymology doesn't count as real Latin! So, none of this: "Well, the word 'religion' comes from Latin originally..."

But isn't it simpler to use the neater answer instead of trying to obfuscate it?

[Gift Jeraff]

Ipso facto! Writ of habeas corpus! (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0230.html) No extra credit for me. :(

Where is "T.B.D."?

[Syklone]

Exact order of custody to be determined at a later point. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0633.html)

OQ

[Gift Jeraff]

Good answer, but I should have been more clear: "T.B.D." actually appears somewhere, and it's not in a line of dialogue. You may need to squint.

On second thought, it's a bit unfair. So I'll change my question:
Find two examples of V being called a Vulcan.

[thundrfang]

The Vulcan-in-Fantasy Drag (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0781.html)

Still don't know the other.

[ORione]

Mr.-or-Mrs. Spock. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0652.html)

Wow, that blends into the background so much I never even saw it until now!

This is a little embarrassing seeing as how I posted the question, but neither had I. I was looking for a somewhat more obvious example. Good find, MoonCat!

By the way, this isn't a request for another "???" MoonCat stomps my question into the dirt :smallredface:

Late as it may be, I think the second Latin usage is in medias res. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0551.html)

Thank you. Although I didn't find it myself, but I have a pretty good memory when it comes to details, which is one reason I like to keep an eye on the other thread. Often there'll be something that once I read I wont forget, and months later it'll get asked over here.

I think it's OQ, so...

What should I bring to room 115?

[weebiloobil]

What should I bring to room 115?

A friend (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0302.html)

And now, a cryptic clue, with a horrendously bad pun at the centre :smalltongue::

Shakespeare (and specifically, Hamlet) would have questioned Vaarsuvius' and Hayley's what?

[weebiloobil]

A bit early, perhaps, but here's a clue:
Hamlet, Act III, Scene I

[Bluepaw]

Shakespeare (and specifically, Hamlet) would have questioned Vaarsuvius' and Hayley's what?

Surely.....surely the pun couldn't be about the "bare bodkin" in III.i...could it? No. That would be a bridge too far. :smalltongue:

[weebiloobil]

The quote in question:
"to be or not to be?"

In other words, where is there an occurrence of '2B', and what does it have to do with Hayley and V?

(It's not even spoken aloud :smallbiggrin:)

[Holy_Knight]

Well, here's the 2B (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0123.html).

So...Shakespeare/Hamlet would have questioned their room number?

[weebiloobil]

Well, here's the 2B (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0123.html).

So...Shakespeare/Hamlet would have questioned their room number?

Indeed - is their room 2B, or not 2B?

I told you the pun was awful :smallbiggrin:

[Lvl45DM!]

And Vaarsuvius implies that she has 2 B's...

[Ron Miel]

Open question, is it?


Find me someone over the age of 21 who went both ways.

It must be stated clearly as such, not implied by ambiguous statements and innuendo.

Haley's latent bisexuality doesn't count.

Does not telling the orcs that their god isn't the one speaking to them (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0558.html) count?

I'll wait for confirmation before I post a question.

[Holy_Knight]

Does not telling the orcs that their god isn't the one speaking to them (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0558.html) count?

I'll wait for confirmation before I post a question.

Hmm. That probably should count based on how I worded the question, but if it's okay I'll amend it to specify that the paladin is actually conversing with the mistaken party at the time.

[JesusCraig]

I dunno if this is what you are going for... (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0174.html) since Miko tells the Order that she has other orders...

OQ if so.

[veti]

I suspect this (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0663.html) is what Holy_Knight was going for.

But JesusCraig's answer is better. Heck, that's a paladin telling a direct lie for no good reason at all.

OQ if right.

[ORione]

Find someone failing a Concentration check off-panel.

[Holy_Knight]

I suspect this (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0663.html) is what Holy_Knight was going for.
Yes, that is what I meant. :)

[ORione]

Hint time.

So, what I'm thinking of has a spellcaster speaking off-panel, and you can hear him* starting to cast a spell, but then he interrupts himself with "OW!!!" I interpret that in game terms as him failing a Concentration check.

* Definitely a him.

It's almost certainly not what you're looking for, but it's too cool an easter egg not to point it out: (clean-shaven, drill-wielding) Edgar Figaro (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0388.html) happens to be (bearded, but with no OotS cameo) Sabin Figaro's twin brother...

It actually wasn't. We're looking for Nale, clean shaven, but without the beard-shadow. It's a drawing error, and it only goes for one panel.

[Bluepaw]

Great guesses, but I don't think any of those count as suicidal -- Hinjo is living up to the Paladin's code, Shojo had a great life and got to quit while he was ahead due to the douchebaggery of others, and the Weeping King, well, he's got every opportunity to off himself.
