Here is my feedback, I think the level of difficulty was good, I had a lot of fun!
At first I thought you were hiding the words in your questions, so I started writing keywords down that I took away from your questions, until I noticed the 3rd word riddle that was shown on screen. At that point I still thought it could be a mix of both, but started paying attention to the videofeed itself.
Once I figured out where the riddles were, it was not that hard to find all the riddles hidden on screen, by paying attention. You got a 100% watch retention from me, I even sat through the sponsored segment, thinking you'd definitely hide one in there. 😅 (Actually way over 100% because I had to rewatch the first part).
So for watch retention, I think this tactic is quite smart!
The hardest part was actually figuring the riddles out, for the first one I for example figured:
- huge/giant/large/great/immense/vast
Then for every other riddle where you doubt, you start multiplying possibilities.
I tried around 100 combinations, of which around 8 gave me a valid checksum, but were not the right combination. Then I gave up for a while.
In the end it was the riddle about Fashion that was hardest to figure out. I spent way too long trying trend/style/brand.
I did everything by hand though. I know it would be possible to write a simple program that would check all possibilities, but I put in the work. I actually had a lot of fun even though it took me 2 or 3 hours!
Is there a way I can thank you both for the fun challenge and reward? 😊
