Finally a challenge that doesn't have anything to do with art!. I am in for sure!. I will pm you the solution. Thanx!
Edit: I didn't really get wat u wanted from puzzle 5, wat spells, wat azure, wat symbols. And what does that arrow has to do anyways. Is figuring this out a part of the puzzle too?

[A-Man]

Submitted my answers. Just wanted to know, who are the participants in this challenge? and are you gonna tell the right answers for all the puzzles in the end?

[A-Man]

Thats it? only 3 participants... Come on people, get ur names on that list. U still got a day left. Refresh ur brain with the things above. They're really entertaining!

1- Damn! OVERSCORING is a valid answer too, I though that each letter was substituted by one of the symbols . So i made a program that looked into a huge list of 11 lettered words looking for a word which the first and the 7th letter are the same, and the forth and the 8th letters are the same ..... And what the hell is thaumatrugy? Anyway, i ain't complaining, just surprised cuz i thought its 100% right.

2- I guess i was right but how come "qaz" meant "ir"?

3- Nothin' to say

4- I thought about about this for a minute then i though its so crazy to be true! And it was TRUE! Damn!

5- I thought it meant "place the crimson thingy behind the Azure thing" and these 2 are color names. So i placed the crimson number "51" behind the azure number "1". The result in that case is "511". I guess I have to widen my senses a lil bit.

Anyway, congratz Azriel!.
And special thanks to Duketsu for this great challenge. I will be there for more!

#2 i knew it was EMPIE, s'why my answer was 14789653 (the missing R).
#3 should've looked harder. found the pic and chose #5 without much thought (i did try a fill black with 0% tolerance on the background, mind you). now i see it
#4 silly me. i actually did try look at the colour pallette, but i was thinking the wrong way. first thought when i saw the image -> i think it's a gif, so 256 colours, using an indexed colour pallette. the Fs must be how the colours are arranged in the pallette. nope. then tried to fit Fs into the letters + spaces (and eliminated the possibility of ones that were "vague").

really enjoyed solving them

Oh yeah, it was great. You're planning for more Duketsu ?
I don't think these prizes are even necessary to get contestants.

Interesting. I've actually been following the puzzles (and I'm quite a puzzles fan) but since in the beginning I didn't quite grasp the concept of them I decided that I had better things to do. :P

Now that I look at them they all make perfect sense but heck, #5 is actually pretty easy. On the first look I figured it would have something to do with coordinates, I just thought the path to the solution would be way more time investing... proves once again that the human mind tends to see things way more complicated as is neccessary.

Hoorray for vague puzzles and vague answers.
Anyways I might hold another contest without prizes this time. Depends if I come up with any good ideas for puzzles.

Cool. Usually i would say "YOU'RE THA MAN" but i guess i will say: YOU'RE THA LADY XD
