TBT's Third Annual Easter Egg Hunt!

[Fearthecuteness]

I have the same issue/gripe with that one. The word "pride" often refers to a group of lions, which made me think that the wording referred to animals; That would mean "sly" had something to do with either foxes or snakes. So I kept looking for a thread which had something to do with lions and snakes (or foxes).
I also briefly considered tanuki/raccoons due to Sly Cooper.

It's a basic rule for word puzzles that something in the clue/riddle is a keyword which allows you to identify and solve it.

Even now, I still don't see how "slyest of my pride" could possibly refer to skins...can someone explain that one?

Also, and many people have asked this, what happens to the left over eggs (the currency ones)?

Exactly. The word "pride" should not have been there because with that word being there, it all makes no sense the slightest.

Here was my theory on that one. I honestly thought pride was termed as our group of mods as they are our leaders here, and the sly term I associated with jubs, due to his "who is jubs" sticker making him sly. Soooo as it said hiding in plain sight, first I clicked on the ball in his siggy (I was on mobile site so it could have been an egg!!! Lol as it's so small on my phone and hard to see) and then I tried clicking on the eggs showing under his avatar, and THEN went to his profile page and checked everything!! When I found nothing, I went and tried the same thing with a the mods. I was soooo off base but it made so much sense to me at the time!!!

Slyest of my pride: The egg that is the "sneakiest" of all the eggs.

Hidden in plain sight: Speaks for itself.

But a bunch of eggs is not a "pride". and neither are a group of mods.

A group of prides are lions.

I guess that they thought people would think "group" instead of "lion" considering how there's nothing lion-related on the site?

Yep. Made me think it's something animal related. I think that one was the worst one out of all of them and makes the least sense.

Which is why they shouldn't of used that word.

omg literally who cares?

No one ok bye

 

[DaCoSim]

I still like my theory!!!! Even if it was wrong! HAHAHA!!!! I think the clue makes sense now though as well

 

[Fearthecuteness]

Just because you don't care doesn't mean no one else does. No need to be so rude either.

I don't want to dig through threads. So discarding the golden egg was a joke? Or was it replaced?

 

[Mercedes]

Sigh :/ I just need 4 more eggs..

I needed one more for "Wahh"

I knew what #8 was. I was afraid it was gonna be wrong, but it wasn't! I knew it was a bulborb because the mirror made it look like one.

I did consider that definition of the word in the literal sense, but then the wording "slyest of my pride" would translate to "slyest of my best skill", which would just goes back to the first part of "hiding in plain sight" as being the best skill, and really didn't give me anything to solve the riddle with.

Though, if I'd known I could change the skin on the forum, I might have found it since I did think that "hiding in plain sight" meant that it had something to do with the forum skin. I just didn't know there were other skins. >.<

Eh, I'm happy with my Togepi egg...I just would really like to know the reasoning behind that wording.

omg literally who cares?

No one ok bye

Because we're trying to figure out how the wording of the riddle led to mean for us to change the skin of the forum. Obviously, we care, or we wouldn't be discussing it. It's not like we're getting out of hand (as others are even explaining their thought process on that clue); we're merely discussing it and trying to figure out why the wording meant what it did.
So, like Fearthecuteness said, there's no need to be rude. I'm actually having fun reading some of the thought processes others have had with these clues, and relief that others had the same thought process as I did in approaching the riddle (and now wonder why it was worded as it was).

 

[Fearthecuteness]

Thanks mdchan. Yes this is a pretty civil debate we've got going on here.

 

[Irarina]

Honestly even after I read the answers, some of the answers are still making no sense to me. Hahahaha I feel so dumb now.

Don't worry. You're not the only one.
