Welcome to the 12th edition of the OoTS Quiz Game.

The rules are plain simple. Someone asks a question that can be answered with (one or more) oots comic strips. (However, try to avoid boring counting questions...) Then people can try to answer it which should always include a link to the strip where you can see the answer. (Please do not write something like "Ah, that's A, you can see it somewhere between OOTS141 and OOTS200. Or maybe it was also a bit later, can't remember right now, but it's definately A.")
If still no one has a clue after after -say- 24 hours (maybe earlier) hints can be given. Whoever first gives the correct answer can ask the next question.

OK, 'nuff said, let's get it started! (: YAY!)

Oh, btw... it would be nice if people edited the link to the correct strip right next to the question once it has been answered. (Not the answer itself, just where you find it.)

3) Questions have to have an answer that is demonstrated by at least one, and no more than three, canon online strip. (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".
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) 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).
7) 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".
8) 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.
9) 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.

That seems to be a good expression of how we play the quiz game, judging by observing the posts.
If anyone wants to suggest alterations to these rules, they can discuss them here or PM me. If enough people agree with the alteration, I will edit this first post to reflect the new rule(s).

*The original rule is fine; you should be allowed to rephrase. But there's such a thing as rule overuse, which makes it wear thin eventually.

Also, there's a difference between rephrase - find a different, more precise way to word the question so it has a smaller number of possible answers - and just simply rewrite and rule out the last answer. Over and over again

Here is a link to the 11th Edition of the Quiz.

Here is the current question:

Find two cats fighting.

[homersolo]

Request for clarification: Are these cats fighting each other and/or are they found in the same strip. Since we can answer in multiple strips, I can find two different cats fighting, but I want to make sure I know what you are asking.

[xingbing1]

They are fighting each other. They are in the same strip together whilst fighting.
But (small hint) you'll probably need to look at two different strips to be able to figure this one out. One of the fight (which you need to find), and another which would GREATLY help you figure it out, but don't need necessarily need.
Good luck.

[xingbing1]

It's been about 24 hours since I posted my question in the old thread. So, I guess it's hint time!

Hint: Neither of the cats are feline. (But there is still a clear reason why both of them could be referred to as 'cats')

Now you're confused!

Cat Fight. Last Panel.

Heh.

If So

OQ as I am to lazy tired to think of one

[QDI]

You'll have to explain me why they can be referred as "cats".

[xingbing1]

Yeah, you need a better reason than that. My one is a lot clearer. :)

[xingbing1]

Alright, it's been about 24 hours, so I guess I should post the answer (yay, I 'win'! )

Answer:

Spoiler

Show

Panels 6,7,8 in this strip show a fight between Haley and the Druid's hawk. In panel 5 of the same strip, the druid refers to his hawk as being called 'Kitty'. Haley is later referred to by Ian as 'Kitten'. (e.g. here, first panel)
A fight between 'Kitty' and 'Kitten' is a fight between two cats.

OQ. I'll let you guys create some easy ones now.

[dogfish44]

Find me Vaarsuvius talking about the laws of Cartoon Physics twice.

[Timeless Error]

Here.

Here.

I'm not sure about the last one, though. Looking at it again, it doesn't really fit the question. But I'll try it anyway.

And if I'm right, find me bigfoot.

[Lvl45DM!]

Cartoon Physics state that when you express a negative opinion of someone they will inevitably be standing behind you.

Find me a reference to V's superior elven senses outside of the strip I just linked

EDIT: do I get to ask a question since I only provided half an answer?

[PsychedelicBard]

I think the question is still: Find me bigfoot.

Which is considerably hard.

[Timeless Error]

Find me a reference to V's superior elven senses outside of the strip I just linked

Since Lvl45DM! provided the other half of the answer, I believe his question should be answered.

"You are a finely tuned searching machine, V."

Question is still,

Find me bigfoot.

[Brisingry]

Are you referring to THE Bigfoot, or would Little roc, who happens to have gigantic feet, work?

I doubt it, but if so, OQ.

[Gwynfrid]

A fight between 'Kitty' and 'Kitten' is a fight between two cats.

Nice. A well deserved win

[Timeless Error]

Are you referring to THE Bigfoot, or would Little roc, who happens to have gigantic feet, work?

I doubt it, but if so, OQ.

Sorry, nope. Keep searching.

[KoboldRevenge]

This Durkon's got some Big feet here.
If it is as far fetched as that once called kitten, Cats fighting question then it might be so!

[Timeless Error]

No, what I'm looking for is quite clearly stated to be, "bigfoot".

@V: Correct!

[Kal Ironfresh]

Hands off, bigfoot!

Find a goblin being cut in half.

[QDI]

First panel, first strip!

Find a DD rulebook!

OQ

[ScottishDragon]

Find me someone called scarface.

OQ

[QDI]

Ok, find someone eating the only dish the Monster in the Dark does not like.

[KoboldRevenge]

Babies? you know the "Mommy" Thing?
Find me someone holding their finger down as if counting a list If right

[QDI]

What I like in this comic: there are several strips with people eating children/babies.

I will say right but I was thinking to this one (11th).

How do you even know those are children/babies the dragon is eating?

[Lvl45DM!]

Indeed remember how big dragons can be

[QDI]

Hum, if they were adults, the green guy would be 12-13 feet tall.

Ok, it is possible (a large troll is between 8 and 16 feet) but I thought it was more logical that they were children.

Sorry if I make you loose your time ;)

[Toper]

Sorry if I make you loose your time ;)

Not at all, since KoboldRevenge found an awesome answer.

Current question is

Find me someone holding their finger down as if counting a list

although I don't really understand the action being described...
