Clue -->	Trouble
Ten clues lurk somewhere
around this Sporcle quiz.
Some are hidden in plain sight.
Others require some colorful
reasoning. Still others
are invisible and must be
discovered. Type them all
in to escape and emerge
victorious. Good luck!
The first clue is rather 'helpful'.

	Nebraska

	Typo in your note: it should be 'somewhEre'. I was also expecting 'a clue' to be one, because of 'Enter a clue in the box below'. Really cool quiz, I love the idea.

	prockstar83:	Feb 15th, 2013 at 06:45 GMT		10 points
	After 3 minutes, I was intrigued. After 6 minutes, I thought you made a bad quiz. Now that I've finally figured it out after 12 minutes, I'm convinced this quiz is a tiny stroke of genius.

	gracie:	Feb 15th, 2013 at 07:11 GMT		2 points
	so, so clever. I actually had to do a page search for the one I missed, can't believe I forgot to check there!

	dollymix:	Feb 15th, 2013 at 12:23 GMT		21 points
	I definitely tried "Kyrgyzstan."

	skuban:	Feb 15th, 2013 at 14:19 GMT		3 points
	You used the wrong spelling of "emerge". I was so focused on that, I was sure the one I was missing was "Typo".

	skuban:	Feb 15th, 2013 at 14:20 GMT		1 point
	Absolutely awesome quiz nonetheless. I also didn't look where gracie didn't look. facepalm

	thedpr:	Feb 15th, 2013 at 14:26 GMT		3 points
	"Emerge" is spelled incorrectly. I kept trying to think what it might be cluing...

	Sporcla:	Feb 15th, 2013 at 15:21 GMT		1 point
	This is a brilliant quiz and a lesson in thinking outside the box.....I too was confused by the spelling of 'emerge' and also tried 'them all in' from the phrase Type 'them all in' to escape, along with desperate google searches thinking the colours were a flag. Without giving any spoilers here (email is sporcla123@gmail.com) could you enlighten me as to the 7th one down though inkspill, completed the quiz but still have no idea!

	beforever:	Feb 15th, 2013 at 15:32 GMT		0 points
	That was the one I missed, Sporcla. Something to do with the Red, Orange, etc. colors...

	dodger5588:	Feb 15th, 2013 at 15:40 GMT		1 point
	I get the seventh clue, yes has to do with colors.

	inkspill19:	Feb 15th, 2013 at 15:44 GMT		6 points
	Sorry for the unintential typo confusion, all. It has been corrected. The 7th clue is perhaps the trickiest. The colors themselves may not be useful in finding the clue, but the NAMES of the colors are...

	LoudmouthLee:	Feb 15th, 2013 at 15:44 GMT		7 points
	Five globes. One of my favorite quizzes to date. I missed the LAST one, and will be working all day to figure that one out. This quiz, IMHO, is front page worthy.

	6daughters:	Feb 15th, 2013 at 16:11 GMT		1 point
	Clever, but in desperation I kept clicking things that took me away from the quiz and then I'd have to restart. If possible it would be great if you provided a link that explained the answers so that less clever folk (like me) could read about the hints they missed. I'm still scratching my head over the 2nd and the last answers. Thanks for a great quiz!

	inkspill19:	Feb 15th, 2013 at 18:00 GMT		0 points
	I created a solution page and put it in the source link. Don't worry, it's not immediately visible and the purpose of the original link still remains. :)

	LoudmouthLee:	Feb 15th, 2013 at 18:09 GMT		3 points
	As much as I love it... my thought process would be to keep the whale clue the same way you had it before, and instead, do a bonus clue link to the walkthrough? I sometimes succumb to the scrolling.. "Just one peek?" - Instead, include a "type: surrender for a link to the walkthrough, and bonus it out to them for copy/paste purposes. (Just my two cents)

	MovieGuru:	Feb 15th, 2013 at 18:55 GMT		0 points
	I love this. I went to the comments section right away but got so caught up in all the other comments that I forgot to type in "nebraska." It was the last one I got!

	thedpr:	Feb 15th, 2013 at 20:26 GMT		1 point
	Agreed with LoudmouthLee. Previously, you could honestly claim that all 10 clues are on the quiz page (since you can figure out the clue without clicking). Now you can't. The walkthrough url as a bonus clue is a great idea.

	Ubbiebubbie:	Feb 15th, 2013 at 20:43 GMT		3 points
	Awesome!

	alastor:	Feb 15th, 2013 at 22:26 GMT		1 point
	I really don't get clue 3, despite the walkthrough.

	inkspill19:	Feb 15th, 2013 at 22:31 GMT		1 point
	Newest update reverted clue 3 back to its original solution method (sorry alastor, you were probably caught playing while I was changing things around), and added the bonus url walkthrough if you type in "surrender". Thanks for all the great ideas. I know this is totally different than any quiz I've seen before on Sporcle.

	Stanford0008:	Feb 16th, 2013 at 00:59 GMT		4 points
	I have played one other quiz with a similar format (https://www.sporcle.com/games/Sixtytwobobs/one_word_is_tinamou). However, this one mixes it up enough that it most definitely deserves to be a separate quiz. The couple that I missed, I walked away saying, "Now that was clever!" All in all, well done, and definitely deserving of 5 globes!

	inkspill19:	Feb 16th, 2013 at 01:48 GMT		7 points
	Thanks for pointing that quiz out, Stanford0008. You think you have a totally original idea for something, but someone will always beat you to it. Haha, such is life.

	Stanford0008:	Feb 16th, 2013 at 02:17 GMT		3 points
	No problem, it's really no fault of your own. Since both of your quizzes have only 1 tag that is completely unrelated to the content of the quiz, it's nearly impossible to find them unless you know exactly what you're looking for. (I only found the other quiz b/c I remembered making a comment on it when it first came out.) Like I said earlier though, it was still a very well executed idea.

	pchristofferson:	Feb 16th, 2013 at 17:11 GMT		5 points
	Oh man, that was diabolical and fantastic. Bravo.

	Zen:	Feb 19th, 2013 at 07:43 GMT		8 points
	Delightful! That's the most sheer fun I've had with a Sporcle quiz in a long time. Very original idea, and it's especially impressive that you found ten fundamentally different ways to hide words. Five globes, and I think we'll be seeing this on the front page soon.

	bushwoodcc:	Feb 19th, 2013 at 13:33 GMT		2 points
	Great quiz!

	Raand:	Feb 20th, 2013 at 05:55 GMT		3 points
	I don't like the Nebraska answer as it goes against my no-cheating principles.

	needapausebutton:	Feb 20th, 2013 at 07:40 GMT		3 points
	I made a beeline for your profile page, and thought I'd found [none] of the words I needed. Nope. Great quiz, inkspill19.

	apetersvt:	Feb 20th, 2013 at 18:28 GMT		1 point
	Great idea for a quiz. Very fun. I will agree with Raand in that I never thought to check the comments section (as it would include spoilers and thus be considered cheating).

	sufradley:	Feb 20th, 2013 at 21:16 GMT		3 points
	Fantastic, spelling obscure capitals hasn't got a patch on my sense of pride in getting some of these (#7 being my favourite). I also went into a slightly scary stalker mode looking for my last one (#4) including looking at comments you made on other quizzes and your previous contributed games. Perhaps some kind of treasure hunt sequel?!

	xcdannon:	Feb 20th, 2013 at 22:05 GMT		1 point
	okay i swear i didn't look at the comments and i got all ten. the nebraska clue was the last one i got. by that time i had figured out "HAWTHORNE" just by using the letters i already had. i thought the green and white had to have some sort of context, maybe a country's flag, so i started guessing random countries starting with N (since I knew it was N from HAWTHORNE). When countries didn't work I started trying states and voila, Nebraska did it. So maybe you can do something with the green and white colors to allude to that clue. The University of Nebraska's colors are Red and White... Or make the clue Nigeria, and add another green column. Nigeria's flag is green and white.

	Best. Quiz. Ever. Amazing idea, nothing I would ever expect from a sporcle quiz. I hope more come out like this, however it would be very hard to think of new places to put the clues. very creative. 5 globes.

	frisky:	Feb 21st, 2013 at 17:32 GMT		-2 points
	it's killing m! Only got three answers and can't find walkthrough. I "surrenederd" Where is walthru? Great quiz tho.

	Chanther:	Feb 21st, 2013 at 18:14 GMT		1 point
	This is one of the best and most original quizzes I've encountered on Sporcle. Thanks for making it - it was fun!

	WCRoentgen:	Feb 21st, 2013 at 18:20 GMT		2 points
	Most original quiz in a long time. But almost impossible to complete without "surrendering". As was previously mentioned, one would have to "cheat" to get #8.

	frisky:	Feb 21st, 2013 at 18:25 GMT		0 points
	got all but #3 and #7. still don't understand those two

	frisky:	Feb 21st, 2013 at 18:33 GMT		-2 points
	Sorry, I meant #4 and #7. Got #7; can't figure out where walkthru is or #4.

	inkspill19:	Feb 21st, 2013 at 22:23 GMT		0 points
	I edited the wordage of the quiz so it sounds more like a riddle and addresses some of the more difficult clues (particularly #7 for those who catch on). For those reluctant to cheat, the phrase "colorful commentary" will nudge them in the right direction. Hopefully it's not too overt...? frisky - according to my quiz description, you need only type in "surrender" to bring up the walkthrough URL. You misspelled it in your first comment, so I'll bet you misspelled it taking the quiz too.

	brianiac13:	Feb 21st, 2013 at 22:25 GMT		1 point
	Just wondering, inkspill, how did you get number 4 to work? How do you get a word to show up there? And for those who found it, why would you ever think to look there? I looked practically everywhere, but didn't even think to look there.
