We present to you an intellectual contest similar to "What? Where? When?", but with a Heroes theme. That is, Heroes-related terms are either used in the questions or are the answers to the questions. Please send your answers via private message. We kindly ask you to refrain from discussing the questions here in the thread – this could give other participants a hint. If you have an interesting question that could be used in the contest, please also send it via private message. Examples of questions: 1) First, he was like Ryland, then he became like Luna, and in the end, he was like a peasant. Name this fictional character. 2) People in this profession would suit a small cylinder, with a begemoth depicted on one side and a mighty gorgon on the other. Name the profession. 3) The main characters of this film first met Synca, then Alagar, then Shiva, then Bron, and finally, Astral. Name the film. Answers will be accepted for a couple of days. There are no strict rules; the format is free, and the competitive element is only to encourage everyone to think about the answers without stopping the process after the first correct guess. If the idea is well-received, I will add more questions later, and I also hope for help from the audience.

Perhaps my answer is paradoxical, but

There is no need to post your answers publicly; let everyone think for themselves.

But in any case, the answer is incorrect.

do the questions have something to do with the heroes, but the answers don't anymore? that's a pity.

Here is another set of questions: 4) The main character in this work mastered Tower's Grail, Escape Tunnel, and Pathfinding during his adventures. 5) This unit is described by a film by Leonid Gaidai, a film about an American helicopter, and the year the film from question #3 was released. 6) This artifact resembles a fictional ship, a part of an airplane, and a well-known painting.

Something feels a bit slow... only 3 people have responded, and only one of them guessed anything correctly... but the questions aren't that difficult, in my opinion; almost everyone has read or watched the mentioned books and movies. Meanwhile, here are a few more questions: 7) The name of this hero is similar to the name of a former leader of one of the European countries, the name of a former striker for the French national team, and the name of an American actor of Italian descent. 8) In Heroes, these two words are synonyms because they refer to the same unit. In real life, the main activity of the first is to destroy the second. 9) The slang name for this unit is mentioned in the title of a children's fairy tale, is similar to the name of a medieval religious movement, and also to a type of troops from the 15th-19th centuries. 10) This spell in Heroes is not a direct combat spell, but according to legend (an implausible one), it was once used in the defense of a city (not in Heroes) in this capacity. Added 8 hours 5 minutes ago Yes, the answers are starting to come in... And it immediately became clear that there were several so-called "duals" - answers that do not match the author's, but satisfy the condition of the problem. This happens... Added 16 minutes ago 11) This unit has a biological prototype in the form of a specific animal, but out of about 700 species of this animal, only 3 possess the quality that led to this unit appearing in Heroes. 12) In a well-known literary work, this unit is portrayed as a symbol of shortsightedness. 13) In the first half of the 20th century, due to the development of motor transport, this type of civil servant was almost abolished, but in the 1990s, it began to gradually revive. Its colloquial name coincides with the name of a unit in Heroes.

Nah, it's too easy, in my opinion. A couple of clarifying questions for the author: a) Are all the answers/questions related only to the third game, or also to other games in the series? b) Are some of the answers/questions related to specific books or TV series, like "Game of Thrones," which not everyone might have watched? Or is it only classics, only hardcore? :)

a) Only with the third game.

b) I don't think so, although I'm starting to doubt it now... but have they all watched/read all this classic stuff?

15) If you translate the English name of this unit into Russian using Google Translate and then translate it back into English, you will get a different unit. There are 4 possible answers to this question, and you need to provide at least 2 to pass. 16) In Heroes, you can hire one type of unit in this dwelling, but in real life, there are different units in it, and unlike in Heroes, they are fundamentally incapable of fighting. 17) The slang name for this unit in real life is the name of a disease, and it is an exact match (i.e., without any word formation based on it).

I also suggest posting a list of leaders with the number of correct answers they have already given.

18) One of the slang names for this unit refers to an actual object in real life, while another slang name for the same unit refers to the material from which that object can be made.

in my opinion, puzzles 14 and 18 are much easier than the ones in Vikings, and both can be solved in 2-3 seconds. But the Vikings puzzles are just insane; even after trying every possible unit, I couldn't solve puzzle 17. How is that even possible? :)

I, for example, guessed number 17 right away. It's true that Vic hasn't answered yet, but I'm 99.9% sure. And my question, I agree, is very simple; I just liked the way it was worded, so I decided to write it, hoping someone would enjoy guessing it :)

For now, the first three questions are the most difficult for me.
