Wow that Q39 was amazing. 4chan is incredible.

That reminds me of a story about an infamous image from an old ARG.

A firearm against the man's skull, Fired a round, now he's deceased.

Answer is "queen". It's a reference to Bohemian Rhapsody

I got the reference, but alas "Queen" was wrong, had to type queen (all lowercase) after seeing your answer here. Ruh.

If you try a bunch of bogus answers in quick succession you get an ad for a betting site.

Also if you look at their facebook page it's kinda weirdly hype-y.

Try entering in parameters manually and it tuxes an amusing inage if a man with the label “I’m a hacker”.

Is HN competing with 4chan on this? I'm gonna be pretty disappointed if we lose.

I love the replies to this. Not to shoot any one of them down, but it makes me wonder what would it take for us to admit 4chan are smarter?

It’s like those on HN never go to 4chan and vice versa...

Stop! Stop! Stop! Start. Stop! Stop! Start. Stop! Stop! Start. Stop! Stop! Start. Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! OK! Not sure if it matters, but HN won't let me format it the way it's presented. There are five words/commands to a line.

You need an extra newline between line breaks. I've added them for you.

Thank you kindly.
