Hi, hello. How are you? Good, good. My name is Kelvin Kelvin Bo Belvin Banana Fana Fo Felvin Fe Fi Fo Felvin Kelvin. I am confident in my original puzzle-making skills that I'm willing to bet seven of myduped Super Attack Pea AND Magical Pea Chia Pop and even a very shitty Christmas card mailed to your address. So much so that I don't care how many hints I give out, but there's a small catch. Whenever you address me, you may only communicate to me in this thread through YES or NO questions alone. This is your chance to win one or more peas. There is no prize limit per person.
You can ask ANY question and have an unlimited amount of asks. It can help you solve the puzzles quicker if you know the right ones to ask. The only time I'll not answer a question definitely is when I do not have a clear cut answer to give. In that case, I'll respond with IDK (I don't know), but that is reserved for cases where I can't with the power in me to give a 100% objective response.
You may only ask one question per post. If you ask multiple questions in the same post, I will only answer the first question.
If you have an answer, it must also be in the form of a question with the question number included and posted in this thread. No PM's. You can word it anyway you want as long as it is a YES or NO question. For examples:
Is the answer to puzzle #4, making a wig out of your mom's chest hair?
For puzzle #2, is the answer Manners Maketh Man?
Am I correct in saying that the answers to puzzle #6 are poorly-timed Holocaust jokes and a home video of Oprah sobbing into a lean cuisine?
Etcetera, etc. Just remember: solution = puzzle number + answer in yes/no question form.
Don't worry, all the puzzles at most require a middle school level computer competency. If you were able to turn on a computer and navigate to this page, you are intellectually overqualified and skillfully capable. The riddles are in English and I do no intend to translate for anyone. You have until the deadline to solve the riddles.
Otherwise, you can use this thread to chat and work out solutions with other people. Keep in mind that the prize can only be rewarded to the person who posted the correct solution first.
A Very Shitty Christmas Card Bonus
If you solve any two previously unsolved riddles, then I will snail mail you a shitty Christmas card on top of getting two or more duped SUAPS already. What makes them shitty? Well, if you want to find out, you better get cracking on those puzzles. For your information, they'll fill you up with confusion and arousal like Steven Hawking talking dirty.
The Puzzles
Puzzle #1 - Everyone at one point was a beginner - SOLVED by Athyade
Spoiler
Your [hypothetical] real life friend, Codee, is browsing NeoCodex for the first time while you are paying most of your attention watching Netflix in the same room. Codee asks a few a questions, but you ignore him. Between pausing at the ending the last episode and loading the next one, you hear some words from him. Codee says:
“…important to… provide… the choices you make… easy to… personally… capture the… young… for… their… parties.”
You know full well NeoCodex will have none of that shit. Hopefully. You ask Codee to tell you what thread/topic he’s on, but he said he already left that page and don’t know how to get back to it, because you know, him being new and all.
Thinking on the rational side of things, what page was Codee reading out loud?
[Clarification: The solution should include the title of the page. For example, if the page was this, the solution should include "Confession Thread".]

Puzzle #4 - A bit of digging required - SOLVED By Loccy
Spoiler
In an island far, far away is the kingdom of Puzzleriddletonville. After the late King Flick died, his two sons, Prince Pluck and Pickle failed to agree on only one successor. As a result the two brothers fought over land and as of today, the kingdom is divided as below.
The land is separated by the sea and red lines as shown above. One brother owns the northern coast and everything amongst its borders and the other, to the southern coast and all within its boarders. The letters throughout the island represents the first letter of towns and villages scattered throughout the nation.
Ain't nobody got time to resolve their problems. Instead I made a puzzle out of their bickering.
Using the map, what is the word or phrase formed using the letters within Pickles's territory?
BUT you are missing information. I hope you noticed that.

This puzzle is a simple game of 20Q, except this game has an unlimited number of questions up until the deadline. The only twist is that the mystery item in mind has a descriptor and a noun and nothing else. Some examples: "Streaking Grandpa", "Cracked Screen", "Six Remote Controls" and "Smelly Cat".

This puzzle only opens when the replies to this thread exceeds 100. If there is no 100 posts made by the time of the deadline, the opportunity to earn the 7th SuAP will forever be lost.100 posts made. Puzzle now unlocked.
Now that you have seen several people solve puzzles, time for an active puzzle whose solution changes ever so often. I'll break it down:
Goal: Post a prediction (three NeoCodex display names) in this forum and if those three people subsequently (not necessarily in order) posted after yours without an outside person posting, then you win!
For example:
Swarley posted his three person prediction as Athyade, Loccy, and Kelvin. The next three people who immediately posted were Loccy, Kelvin, and Athyade. Then he won.
If the next three people who immediately posted after him were Anthyade, Loccy, and michaelhex, then Swarley doesn't win and the puzzle continues.
Rules: This puzzle has special rules that trumps other rules listed in the beginning of this topic. You do not need to write anything in question four if you're trying to solve this puzzle.
1. You cannot make predictions in the same post as asking questions.
2. Predictions must use their current display name typed perfectly if not copied and pasted. If the one of the people in the predictions changed their display during the time of the puzzle, don't worry about it. I'll know and I'll still count it.
3. You must quote the previous predictions, no matter who made it/when it was/or whether or not it was a valid prediction before writing your own prediction.
4. You must never ping/@ mention the people in your predictions here.
5. 1 new prediction per post (with each prediction having three NeoCodex Display names).
6. Only valid predictions will be counted towards the prize.
7. You can only include people with more than 10 posts in your predictions list.
8. Follow all NeoCodex rules.
9. The three people you put in your predictions DOES NOT need to make their own predictions.
(I highly suggest everyone to ask questions for Puzzle #5. It is impossible to solve it wthout people asking questions about the descriptor and the noun, except for the one person who I shared the answer with so I have proof I didn't change the mystery item at any point in the week)
