    Default Order of the Stick Trivia XXI: Find Me an Epic Thread!

    This is the 21st edition of the Order of the Stick Trivia thread. This thread gets an epic-level feat now; let's hope for Extended Life Span.

    Here are the rules:
    Quote Originally Posted by Rules
    1. The first player to answer a question correctly, asks the next one.
    2. If that player doesn't have a question immediately in mind, then state "Open Question" ("OQ") and let someone else ask.
    3. Questions have to have an answer that is demonstrated by at least one, and no more than three, canon online strips. (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'?" violates this rule.
    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. There's a difference between rephrasing—finding a different, more precise way to word the question so it has a smaller number of possible answers—and just simply rewriting to rule out the last answer. Don't do the latter. (If you are unsure, just ask it.)
    7. 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).
    8. 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".
    9. 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. If you won't be around to provide a hint (hiking Mt. Everest, other activity without internet, rot-13 is a good way to hide your hint so you can post it in advance.)
    10. 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.
    11. 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. They are permitted if the answer is in the first three strips, however.



    Let's start with an easy one: What's a 'zyqxuwy'?
    A student by vocation, a D&Der by avocation (a wizard by evocation).

    Did you mistype 66,435? If not, my bad. If yes, find me a "cleave me" note.

    Yes, that was a typo.

    There's twelve lit candles in that panel. You can see the twelfth one behind Miko's hair just barely, but it's there.

    Pedantic answer 1: I said eleven candles, not exactly eleven.

    Pedantic answer 2: You can’t see the twelfth candle, just the flame.

    Pedantic answer 3: That could be an unrelated orange spot on the wall, not a candle flame.

    Real answer: Yeah, I missed that twelfth one. I was actually thinking of this comic, but the same criticism applies.

    Should've had a hint after 24 hours and the answer after 48-- it's been more than 48 hours now.

    The way too esoteric hint:

    On STTNG, the visual proof might be considered an "anomaly".

    I guessed during Implosion and didn't find it, then kept reading for fun and spotted some skull holes during Disintegrate (#1214). Redcloak really is piling damage on Durkon here - good thing Durkon healed himself in between in #1213.


    Find me a panel which shows 5 dead people as alive (not ghosts or afterlife).

    Bottom left (for bonus points it also shows a very much living person as dead).

    Well, it's been a few days with no confirmation or new question, so, just to keep things going, find me a pillow used as an improvised weapon. (At least practically if not technically; I'm not up on all my D&D minutiae.)

    Okay, the whole reason I asked a question was to get the game going again, and that doesn't work if the person who answers the question doesn't ask another one. You've done that twice in a row now.

    So here's a question: Who would it behoove to shut the hell up right now?

    If you get it right, ask another question.

    (Technically, „[i]f that player doesn't have a question immediately in mind, then state "Open Question" ("OQ") and let someone else ask” is a rule too (rule no. 2, to be more precise). I just keep forgetting to state „Open Question”.)

    Edit- I woke up in the middle of the night and realized: I was wrong on the internet. It's The ESCAPE Scene, obviously.
