Or how about:
7) What was Tom Servo’s nom de usenet?
“The Mad Newgrouper”.
Holy crap, somebody else played that game?
I have a question about this one.
when it is translated it reads “And their telephone numbers were exposed too (as well). Show me” Is this an idiom that can’t be translated? I also checked with a spanish teacher and she couldn’t translate it so it made sense either.
36) Who outed Dick Pole?
Tony Muser?
I encountered it a few years back, while going through a play-lots-of-old-games phase (Home of the Underdogs rocks). I’d read the novels, and thought it might be interesting. Great game, though that particular puzzle didn’t work very well.

I don’t know if I have the cite quite right since I am not a legal beagle. I am hoping this is close enough.

I was going to reply with the same thing. XD
I actually have that game sitting under ‘D’ in my wallet of game CDs.
12) How many triple haws in Ivan the Terrible?
Lotsa stuff here. Awesome.
Mgcklmoon:
You’re referring to the following quote:
Not a bad answer. It doesn’t quite fit the question, though, as it states that making a joke more than once is discouraged, rather than saying four times that it’s prohibited. In any case, it’s moot, since Hal Briston answered this one correctly back in post #4. Until someone gives the correct answer to a question, I’ll decide case-by-case whether to give partial points to someone who’s substantially answered the question asked in a way different than I envisioned. But once the question’s been correctly answered, I think it should be closed. If all that makes sense.
More next post.
astorian:
Oh, wow. That’s disturbing on several levels. 10 points for you, and 20 total. shudder And don’t ever mention that website again. :eek:
Sofis:
All right, given that you, Zsofia, and Little Plastic Ninja all had the same reaction to this question, I’m definitely awarding you 10 points for it. But the intended answer is still up for grabs, if people want to take a shot, 'cause that wasn’t what I had in mind. What game are y’all talking about?
Indeed! And though I was around Perkins back then, I never counted them personally. 10 more points, 20 total.
Yeah. 
I’ll admit I should’ve rechecked this question before including it. It was on the first online scavenger hunt I put together, and back then the webpage you linked to wasn’t around and Steve Blake’s original page had expired, so the only way you could access the essay was by going to The Wayback Machine or some other Internet archive. So the question is a fair bit easier now than it was then, as your link was the third one to come up when I googled “Steve Blake” “Johnny Rockets”. But that’s not your problem. 10 points, 30 total.
Nicely done! My friends didn’t even attempt an answer to this question. Of course, it was inspired by the Dope, without which I wouldn’t know who Jack Chick is, so I’d expect y’all to be more on the ball 'round here. Another 10 points, for 40 total.
27) I go from Oakland to New York to Oakland to Toronto to Oakland to San Diego to Anaheim to Oakland to New York to Seattle to San Diego to Boston to Los Angeles. You go from Oakland to New York to Toronto to Seattle to Baltimore to Los Angeles to Chicago to St. Louis to Cincinnati to Minneapolis to Chicago to Arlington to Phoenix. We meet in Oakland in 1979. Who are we?
Rickey Henderson and Mike Morgan (and that took some googlin’!).

Excellent job. FannyPack? 10 more points, 20 total.
Your meter could use some work. 
But yes, that’s right. The question was asking for a personally-penned clerihew, a verse form named after the man who invented it, mystery writer E.C. (Edmund Clerihew) Bentley. I think technically the first line’s supposed to consist almost solely of someone’s full name, so if someone else wants to have a whack at it, I’ll give 5 points for the first poster to do so. But you earn 10, and now have 30.
Good ol’ tskwm. I used to be a regular on alt.tv.mst3k, rec.arts.tv.mst3k, and rec.arts.tv.mst3k.misc back in 1994 and 1995, and the excitement was palpable whenever he posted. Kinda like Cecil here, in fact. 10 points for 40 total.
Hmm. This is only a 5 point question, so I’ll say this: the source is (of course) correct, but the cite isn’t a proper pinpoint citation. And because I think Google gives you enough information about what a pinpoint citation is to be able to fashion one together even if you’re a non-lawyer, I’m gonna rule this question incompletely answered. You get a shot at putting the proper citation together and posting it, and if your attempt falls a little short I’ll throw it open to everyone. If that seems fair.
Also: Your translation of #41 is exactly correct.
Sofis:
Unless there’s a sense in which “outing” means “to hit someone in the face with a line drive and break their cheekbone,” I’m gonna say no.
However, your answer for #27 is exactly right and fairly self-explanatory:
Which gives you 10 more points, for 50 total and, at present, the lead.
I quite liked it and played it before I ever read the books. I always liked Legend’s games – based on book series for the most part but usually they were rather faithful adaptations.
Hal Briston:
Ha! That’s really, really nice. Of course, in Spanish it would be en-ay y uno, which doesn’t quite have the same wonderful wordplay. You were right that the word “who’s” is important.
Hal Briston:
Hell, 5 points for the “N y 1” answer. That was clever enough to be rewarded. You’ve got 30 total.
Little Plastic Ninja:
Interesting. And your character in the game is a hound?
An adventure game called Death Gate. At one point in the game, one gets poisoned. One is told that there’s an antidote in a nearby room, in a red bottle (I think red, a specific colour at any rate). Unfortunately, you’re chained to a wall. However, your loyal dog is nearby, and you’ve learned a spell allowing you to possess someones body. So you possess the dog, and go to the room with the antidote. Problem: there are several bottles here, and dogs are colourblind. The solution lies in there being three parallel lines running along the wall behind the bottles: one red, one green, one blue. By seeing which lines are visible through each bottle, you can figure out which is the red one. If you remember the colours of the lines, which I didn’t.
Or at least, that’s how I remembered it. Looking through some walkthroughs just now I find an implication the antidote was in a clear bottle, which would make the puzzle actually work (since you wouldn’t need to remember the colours of the lines - the clear bottle would be the only one you could see all three lines through).
I’ll admit, though, that I suspected you weren’t looking for that answer, since the phrasing was so mystifying.
Well, I figured he was probably down and out after that. It was worth a try :).

citing examples of Bently’s work:
The people of Spain think Cervantes
Equal to half-a-dozen Dantes;
An opinion resented most bitterly
By the people of Italy.
The meaning of the poet Gay
Was always as clear as day,
While that of the poet Blake
Was often practically opaque.
I doubt if King John
Was a sine qua non.
I could rather imagine it
Of any other Plantagenet.
11) For any N (N being a number), who’s greater than N?
So, how about Pius Ncube?
Since it’s only a five-point question, the amount of lateral thinking used here means this can’t be right, but what the hey: Three.
A stop sign has six possible anagrams: stop, tops, post, opts, spot and pots. A slow sign has three possible anagrams: slow, lows and owls.
Of course, the whole thing falls apart if you don’t consider the original word as one of the anagrams, which I was forced to do in this case. Gaa…it’s too damn late at night for me to be trying to figure these out…
And now that I’ve just glanced at a pic of a stop sign again, another ridiculous answer jumped out at me: Eight.
The word “STOP” would be written with six strokes of a pen – one each for “S” and “O”, two each for “T” and “P”. The world “SLOW” would take eight – one each for “S” and “O”, two for “L”, and four for “W”.
Damn, that’s a couple of silly answers…
