21guns&novacaine Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 It pisses me off how close I was to the answer for 3 I saw that Rubix cube so many times while searching GDA for an answer, and while I lied awake at night thinking about it, I kept thinking "Hey, that sounds like a Rubix cube, or something similar" and I never once connected the dots haha. I have to thank Lone and BeachBum for putting so much effort into these to make them difficult and amazing to find Congratulations to the winners!

Beerjeezus Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I didn't bother going on gda and never watched the lyrics videos - looking back, these riddles make much more sense. No 6 is so obvious! Congrats to the winners, great detective work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeJennsitized Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I knew number 6 immediately, but I never knew Billie Joe's character had an actual name - I remembered it as "ghostly betting man" I had to IMDB it to find the real answer.

I didn't know that either and find it very amusing that they bothered to give it a name I can't do riddles, but now with the answers I can enjoy them! Congrats to the winners!

spark in the night Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Omg those answers are ridiculous. I got the rev radio music video part but didn't think about the director as the second part to that riddle! Dang! I was way off with the Troublemaker riddle. If you google "Stage 3 complete" you get results about stages of heart failure. So I thought the clue had something to do with heart attack/cardiac arrest since those are lyrics in the song ugh Hot Press! I was circling around Alternative Press and searching for articles that mention how Green Day conquered the world- which there are in Rolling Stone! I never would have gotten the rubik cube one. That's insane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's insane GDA search> Google Search We used lots of key words and most of them are searchable on GDA not so much google. 1- Drunk, Awesome as fuck... this was all but called him by name. 2- This one not so much on the key words... more of a you had to watch the lyric video's 3- Keyword for this one was Solve. ( Solve was used in the riddle and both hints.) Answer was on the first page of results when search on GDA 4- Troublemaker, Unlocked - seach either of these on GDA and the answer was on the first page of results 5- The was more about key words getting you to the section. Press searched on GDA shows the article as the third result 6- You needed to know your trivia to start with this one. Search Jackie from the hint though and one of the results on the first page has the video and talks about the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minority103 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I got all but 2 and 3! For the 2nd I thought it was something related to American Eulogy ahah and the 3rd... at first I thought it was related to the Album Titles, because Dookie=Red (the title in Dookie is written in red), Nimrod=Yellow as the circle in the picture's face, in 21stCB "is on the bottom" and so on... But then I realized that Warning is written in orange and that the green part was the name of the band so I started to think it was about the Album Artwork and I also searched if there was someone who worked for all these album's artworks, and actually there is a guy called Chris who collaborates to all ahah (as a "creator"). I was a little bit wrong I guess ahah I totally feel like a cello for this (?!) Well, great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 3 I can't even recall how many things I thought about, but I thought of that as well but then I thought it was gonna be something like a review with albums being rated so that's why AI was on top and 21st CBD was on the bottom xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
