THIS WISEWIT IS FOR DEMONSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY. NO PRIZES WILL BE AWARDED AS PART OF THIS WISEWIT. INSTRUCTIONAL TEXT IS PROVIDED THROUGHOUT IN A BOX LIKE THIS ONE.
EVERY WISEWIT BEGINS WITH A WITTY INTRODUCTION. THE INTRODUCTION PROVIDES IMPORTANT PLAY INSTRUCTIONS AND, IN SOME CASES, THE INTRODUCTION OR THE PICTURE SHOWN MAY OFFER HIDDEN HINTS.

THIS WISEWIT DOES NOT HAVE A FINAL CHALLENGE PLANNED BECAUSE ALL OF THE STAGES ARE COMPLETELY UN-RELATED (SINCE THEY ARE FOR DEMONSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY). IF A FINAL CHALLENGE WAS PLANNED, IT WOULD BE REVEALED HERE AFTER ALL STAGES ARE SOLVED.
FINAL CHALLENGE PRIZE The winner of the final challenge will receive an endless supply of Wit . You will be witty in the morning, witty in the evening, and witty all through the night.

THIS STAGE DEMONSTRATES HOW IMAGES MAY BE PRESENTED AS CLUES. THIS STAGE WAS ORIGINALLY PART OF A WISEWIT THAT PRESENTED IMAGES OF OBJECTS FROM A FAMOUS PAINTING. THE FINAL CHALLENGE WAS TO GUESS THE FAMOUS PAINTING THE INCLUDED THE OBJECTS FROM EACH STAGE. THE CORRECT RESPONSE TO THIS STAGE IS "GREEN DAMASK".
FOR CLUES PRESENTED AS IMAGES, ALWAYS CONSIDER THAT YOU'RE PROBABLY ONLY SEEING A PART OF THE PICTURE. IMAGES ARE CUT AND CROPPED VERY PURPOSEFULLY TO CHALLENGE PLAYERS.
WHILE A CLUE IS IN PLAY, IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO KEEP WATCH OF THE "LAST 10 PUBLISHED RESPONSES" LIST IN THE RIGHT SIDEBAR. EVALUATING INCORRECT RESPONSES FROM OTHER PLAYERS CAN OFFER YOU AN ADVANTAGE IF YOU EMPLOY A WAIT-AND-SEE STRATEGY.
STAGE HINT Consider consulting your interior decorator for advice.
SOMETIMES THERE'S A CLUE THAT STUMPS ALL OUR PLAYERS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE "NUMBER OF INCORRECT REPONSES" WILL CLIMB DRAMATICALLY. WHEN THIS OCCURS, WE TRY TO DISLODGE THE STAGE BY OFFERING HINTS FOR THE CLUE. WHERE A STAGE BECOMES A STUMPER, IT'S A GOOD PRACTICE TO KEEP A WATCH FOR HINTS TO BE PUBLISHED.
