U for unicorn hoof?

I have been poking around this forum for some answers to my questions, but I cannot find them. 1. What is the system for the number of things you post before advancing in a title? (Newbie, advanced, superior, etc.) 2. How many titles are there? 3. How are VIPs granted their title? 4. Where do "stars" come in on all this? 5. Do stars go 1-5 or only 1-4 or what? Please help me make sense of this system.

The walking stick/spear thing is a good idea, but not really what I had in mind. I'll give you a hint: this thing is too big and powerful to kill. Trapping it is nigh impossible. What is left?

You don't have to use a spoiler. Guessing in the open won't give anything away, as this is a challenge, not a riddle. And for phaze and plasmid: since the device is handheld, it is not large enough to fire a person. Try using some other tools.

Wow! Nice job, Panther!

Carseat? Part of a keyboard?

I'm terribly sorry for my absence, as I have been busy with a sports tournament. But, pressing on: you solved it, Thalia! Now back to our story- Nervously, you mumble, "A king?" With a shout that makes your eardrums pound like a marching band, Sting (the king) congratulates you on your riddle-solving ability. "Feel free to pass!" He booms. Relieved that Sting did not live up to his name, you and the merman swim on. Unfortunately, you know well enough that another danger is not far off. Because you are on your guard, the trial is not unexpected. As you and the merman swish peacefully deeper into the ocean, you become vaguely aware of a dark presence. It gradually becomes more pronounced (and all the more terrifying in its clarity.) A massive shark is making a beeline (or perhaps sharkline) for its prey...you. Quickly, the merman hands you a small handheld device. "This is an underwater item propeller. It can shoot objects at a very rapid rate underwater. You must use it to defeat this beast. I cannot help you other than with this. Please, stop this monster!" You have a knife you could put in the propeller, but the shark is so big that it will do hardly any damage, even to an eye or another sensitive spot. How do you defeat the shark? Go with haste! Once again, your life is at stake!

"Thefigurebelow" seems to fit.

Caterpillar? Tubing?

Q: How many blondes does it take to change a lightbulb? A: Two-- one to get the phone book and the other to call the electrician.

Hint: what is a synonym for seaweed? ( or something like it)

A pump?

A screw or a handle?

A garage door? Wedding dress?

Veins?

An earring?

Is it visible on the outside part of the body?

A table leg?

Granted. Feel free to wish for a painful death. I promise not to corrupt that one.

What kind of body part is it? Bone, muscle, organ...?

And... The winner of the How to Defeat a Giant Squid Writing Contest is... ...Aaryan! You and the merman both take a moment to rest from the ordeal with the squid. "I can see now that you are brave and resourceful," the merman notes. "Although I'm sorry Phoebe had that unfortunate...er...accident during your test." "Phoebe?" "The squid." "Uh..." "Never mind. We must continue on our journey." After a while of swimming, you mysteriously slam into an invisible squishy wall of some sort. Rubbing your head, you ask, "What was that?" Before the merman can answer, you hear a booming voice sound out all around you. "I am Sting, king of the jellyfish! You must answer my riddle to pass!" Though you are getting tired of riddles, it seems best to hear Sting out. "Switch one letter from seaweed, and you'll get the cry of one in need. The next letter (not g or u) is the last in me, myself and who? Third, the belly of a fish, is something you don't want to be...this. Lastly, you see you have family so far just add a g and find what I...are." The jellyfish said as he searched for the final rhyme. Go! This one is very hard!

I think this one has been posted already. The answer is a coffin.

A hat? An iron?
