The Slow Quiz

[AmadisLFE]

Scorpio ---> Scorpion, so yeah, Its Scorpio because it would make sense as a Scorpion can poison you with its Sting(Its Sting right?).
Isn't this from "The Binding of Isaac" or whatever the game is called?

@Wololo Thanks for Clearing the Binding of Isaac part.

[SirFrog]

It is indeed Scorpio, and it is indeed The Binding of Isaac.

It's also strictly better than The Common Cold.

Point Stealer: Use it to steal one point from anybody else on the scoreboard.
Point Booster: Use it to make a normal question (not bonus!) worth 1.5x its original points. (You have to use this together with your answer to the same question; in case the answer is wrong the extra points stay up for grabs for other people!)
Item Stealer: Use it to steal one item from a person on the scoreboard who has more points than you.

Question 166 (2 points):
In the novel "The Physician", protagonist Robert Jeremy Cole takes on which non-Christian alias to study at the 'madrassa' in Isfahan?

Riddle 1 (3 points):
"Warfare, Violence and Murder,
red is the color of gore.
Right next to Disease and Decay,
greenly rotten up to its core.
They stand with Pleasure and Pain,
a sentience of purple and pink.
What ultimately is to follow,
resides with the missing blue link."


Hooray, riddle questions are reintroduced!

Guilt.

[SirFrog]

The answer to the riddle, the missing blue link, is Tzeentch, The Changer of Ways, The Lord of Fate, the Crowfather, the Weaver of Fate, the Great Architect, The Sorcerer King, the Raven God, The Master of Fortune, the Great Conspirator, the Trickster and a thousand thousand other names.

Edit: The riddle alludes to the four Chaos Gods from the Warhammer universe(s), with Khorne, the Crimson God of Slaughter, Nurgle, the Lord of Flies and Decay (colour is putrid green), Slaneesh, Prince of Pleasure and She-who-thirsts (colour is purple/pink) and Tzeentch, as mentioned above (colour is blue).

[Ramond]

Wow yes. STM and SirFrog nailed it. Out of curiosity, SF do you know the Warhammer Universe?
SirFrog is about to overtake BP on spot 1!

Question 167 (2 points):
Which of these letters is the odd one out and why:

H
R
X
B
N
K

[Bamboori]

N, because all other letters make a spoken word: B -> Bee, H -> age, etc.

this is incorrect ~Ramond

[Hellblazer]

B; all others when spelled include a sound of A.

[STM1993]

X is the odd one out.

All the letters except X contain a vertical line |, and all the way on the left too.

|-|

|2

|3

While STM would have a technically valid solution, it is not the answer to the question. It may help to read the question carefully.

Oh, in that case I know the real answer now, but I blew my chance. ~ STM1993
