Some people may just phail at it (Me), but help other people to solve it  (It feels just as good, much better than just putting "two").
Anyway, gp, I hope to see one of your "NSNick's Amazing Riddles!" again soon  |

It is the correct answer. And as for figuring it out, it probably depends on the person. Some people could get the clue in the title and get it from there, some people might notice the odd wording, etc. |

Please, if it is, give a clear explanation of how are we supposed to know that answer, I mean, the shadow E isn't a so big clear clue 
Spoiler: And, I suppose this thread will be here, stickied forever, waiting for someone else that hasn't solved it yet, to post the answer and how s/he found it on spoiler tags? : |

OH sorry
But is the answer correct? |

Well then *asplodes*
So, do you have an official explanation of the Puzzle? (or background info about how you thought about it, or something? I WANT MORE XD) |
| NSNick Posts: 1549/2228 |
They're not words. |

Spoiler: Just wanted to notice, that there are two &'s, that wouldn't be eliminated, that means the puzzle has a flaw, sort of ö |
| Ramon Posts: 51/503 |
Got it 
Spoiler:
You have to remove all the words which contain 2 e's in it, including Elimination. I guess what Uly said was correct, with the "E Elimination". Or, Elimination had only one E so there had to be a second one. What comes out, is "Four divided by two equals what", which is the question to this riddle, so the answer is 'two'. I just got it with Uly's help |

hehe rather easy.... After everyone else started saying their teories. |
| NSNick Posts: 1545/2228 |
You were so far down the right track, but then you veered into the woods... |

I have no idea what's this about, but anyway, some things to notice:
The E, on Elimination on the tittle, has another E (grey) as a shadow, making the tittle have 2 E's. Most of the words in the puzzle have 2 Es on them (Queen, Seven, etc.) The words of every line of the puzzle go like this: 1, 8, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 4. The puzzle had 89 Es on it (90 if you count the shadow E) It has 43 words that have 2 E's in them. So, I don't know, but the tittle could be E Elimination, though eliminating the E's cause no sense words to appear, maybe this is something. Or it's a red herring, or I'm overthinking it |

The answer is excessively simple. You're all overthinking it.
I love this riddle, Nick is awesome for coming up with it. |
| neotransotaku Posts: 1658/1860 |
Every 'e' sound is used except the 'e' in elimination? |
| NSNick Posts: 1528/2228 |
Yup. The title is the most important clue in the whole puzzle. |
| Teddylot Posts: 234/286 |
It only took a few days for the answer to be found out last time, right?
But then, Jagori was participating then. 9.9 HINT HINT HINT::: This puzzle has a title ... very important. |
| NSNick Posts: 1521/2228 |
Yeah, it's been brought to my attention that I did indeed post this before. So if you remember it, try not to ruin the answer. But hints might be good...
Also, I guess I'll sticky this, because I think it might be a while before someone gets it again. |
| Jagori Posts: 113/155 |
I remember this one. I should probably not say anything so I don't incur the wrath of NSNick, though. |
