	Awesome...sonic, your useless!

	aerialis:	Nov 20th, 2012 at 22:55 GMT		3 points
	You probably need to be clear that there is only 1 thief.

	NYYanks:	Nov 21st, 2012 at 14:11 GMT		5 points
	A walkthrough would help because I can't seem to do it without guessing.

	PSU840:	Nov 21st, 2012 at 14:21 GMT		3 points
	Make each square the same size so it doesn't automatically readjust when you select one. For Alucard's clue, say "Four of the..." not "Four..."

	MickeyZ:	Nov 21st, 2012 at 18:20 GMT		8 points
	Nathan Drake's clue is incorrect. He is touching more than one safe character.

	MikeN:	Nov 21st, 2012 at 18:25 GMT		6 points
	Excellent puzzle. For anyone who is wondering, Olimar Aran and Oak are not included under people whose names start with a vowel.

	J_Hamron:	Nov 21st, 2012 at 19:33 GMT		5 points
	@MickeyZ The rules clearly state that "touching" means horizontal/vertical only!

	Shadowman621:	Nov 21st, 2012 at 19:45 GMT		3 points
	After 18 tries, I finally get 100%. This quiz really gave my brain a good exercise. Well done.

	MickeyZ:	Nov 21st, 2012 at 22:22 GMT		1 point
	@J_Hamron Mea culpa.

	IronDragline:	Nov 23rd, 2012 at 06:45 GMT		0 points
	Isn't Sonic's clue completely useless? Also, I managed to get something like 29/36 correct until I had to guess whether it was either Dig Dug or Sly Cooper who was the thief. I'm pretty sure that at that point, none of the clues I had come across conclusively demonstrated which one it was. If I'm mistaken, I would love to know how.

	charliep1973:	Nov 23rd, 2012 at 11:07 GMT		3 points
	^^ I was at that point for a while, then I realised that the fact that there were 15 victims helped.

	charliep1973:	Nov 23rd, 2012 at 11:07 GMT		2 points
	^^ (Combine that with Pit's clue)

	itsacon:	Nov 23rd, 2012 at 17:09 GMT		7 points
	Admittedly, I'm not one for reading the rules for Sporcle quizzes, but where all the other logic quizzes have touching meaning horizontal, vertical and diagonal, I find it very frustrating when the rules of the game are changed.

	J_Hamron:	Nov 24th, 2012 at 10:28 GMT		4 points
	I know many of you have requested a tutorial so I made it, just follow the link in the rules.

	alastor:	Nov 25th, 2012 at 13:49 GMT		-1 points
	Agree that Sonic's clue seems to need changing. Also there's a typo in "asterisk".

	J_Hamron:	Nov 25th, 2012 at 20:37 GMT		7 points
	Sonic's clue was meant to be useless.

	Evil44:	Nov 26th, 2012 at 13:27 GMT		8 points
	Good quiz...I'm very happy that there was no knowledge required about these specific video game characters, since I've never heard of half of them.

	pseudo6man:	Nov 26th, 2012 at 15:11 GMT		2 points
	J_Hamron -- very good design. This was an excellent logic puzzle in that you had to re-visit old clues, you can get everything correct without guessing, and involved a deeper level of thinking than the puzzle just telling you what all of the answers are. Well done.

	Zak6009:	Nov 27th, 2012 at 09:08 GMT		3 points
	Nicely done... like how this one requires you to get practically everything else before you can know for sure who the thief is, quite impressive.

	BR8N03epsilon:	Nov 28th, 2012 at 02:59 GMT		3 points
	I really want the thief to be Sly Cooper. The thing is, it's obvious, so it must be it, but then again the maker knows that, but I REALLY wanted it to be Sly.

	kjoshua75:	Nov 28th, 2012 at 17:13 GMT		1 point
	Isn't Sora a character from the original Digimon season?

	J_Hamron:	Nov 28th, 2012 at 20:01 GMT		3 points
	@kjoshua75: I was referring to the Sora from Kingdom Hearts.

	gizmocraig:	Dec 1st, 2012 at 23:41 GMT		-2 points
	Your quiz is still incorrect (Nathan Drakes Clue)

	J_Hamron:	Dec 2nd, 2012 at 22:28 GMT		3 points
	^^ What do you mean?

	bwburke94:	Dec 2nd, 2012 at 23:11 GMT		3 points
	Nathan Drake is touching four characters: the victim PoP, the victim Steve, the victim Samus Aran, and the safe Donkey Kong Jr. As his clue states he is touching one safe character, it is correct.

	marcoose:	Dec 7th, 2012 at 20:00 GMT		1 point
	there are some errors in your walkthrough, ie. mixing safe and victim, but otherwise great logic puzzle!

	J_Hamron:	Dec 7th, 2012 at 20:29 GMT		3 points
	@marcoose, I only noticed one error, and it was a mix-up between safe and thief, but thank you anyway.

	bbf2:	Dec 8th, 2012 at 05:47 GMT		3 points
	Huh, I did this one a bit differently than what I ended up looking at in your walkthrough - when you said characters whose names began with vowels were safe, I thought that included "Oak" and "Olimar." They happened to be safe as well, so it worked out.

	jrosso:	Dec 18th, 2012 at 03:50 GMT		1 point
	I believe that Prof. Oak and Solid Snake's statuses should be swapped. Rayman's clue states he is adjacent to two victims. He is only adjacent to one (Little Mac). Therefore, Prof. Oak must be a victim, making Solid Snake safe (by Pit's clue). Other than that, great quiz! Fun to take.

	J_Hamron:	Dec 18th, 2012 at 22:35 GMT		1 point
	@jrosso: you might want to look a bit more closely Rayman is adjacent to the two victims Little Mac and Sonic. Adjacent includes diagonals, but it isn't limited to them.

	SethB93:	Dec 20th, 2012 at 21:47 GMT		1 point
	Man, that god tricky towards the end! I was at 30/36, had 2 victims left, knew either Sly Cooper or Dig Dug was the thief and the other was safe. And still had Solid Snake, Kirby, Sly Cooper, Dig Dug, Professor Oak, and Rayman to pick from. I had to reread Cloud Strife's clue to finish it, but I got it!

	jrosso:	Dec 20th, 2012 at 21:54 GMT		1 point
	@J_Hamron: You're correct. I must have mixed up 'touching' and 'adjacent' at the very end of the quiz.

	TheCleverone:	Dec 22nd, 2012 at 09:27 GMT		1 point
	If you just got Professor Layton, it would cut the time down dramatically!

	MJthebeatlesHP:	Dec 24th, 2012 at 12:15 GMT		1 point
	sees Slenderman on quiz friend walks in the room and sees Slenderman too we both run away screaming Gosh, I HATE the slenderman D:

	mewmdude77:	Jan 19th, 2013 at 03:16 GMT		2 points
	I think Sonic got beaten up along with being robbed. It makes sense, since he would have been beaten so hard, he became useless.

	JaxExtremeGamer:	Jan 21st, 2013 at 09:53 GMT		1 point
	That was a really fun quiz. A puzzle I actually enjoyed for once.

	ADSFew:	Feb 3rd, 2013 at 03:48 GMT		1 point
	The Lara Croft clue should be changed to say "can't land on a victim on a knight's first move." With enough moves, it could maneuver all over the board and land on a number of victims.

	hadmatter13:	Feb 6th, 2013 at 02:59 GMT		1 point
	sora's clue says "touching one character that is not safe. PoP is a victim, so that works, but when i type safe for ratchet the game is over. wtf?

	J_Hamron:	Feb 6th, 2013 at 21:38 GMT		1 point
	@hadmatter13, reread the rules before you comment, please

	SunnyKat:	Feb 10th, 2013 at 18:32 GMT		2 points
	Great quiz--nice to have one of these that is challenging but not so challenging that it is impossible to finish in the time frame given. I think all of the low ratings are from people who couldn't be bothered to read the directions!
