"5. TAKE IT EASY! There is little to be gained by rushing - unless one is after the time-limited final seat - so do not forget to relax while you solve. Before you know it, the answer pops up on tv, in a magazine or spontaneously by itself in your head. Make sure to write down this impulse before it goes away! People solving riddles in Klurendrejeriet® are always on their toes, even in their when not solving actively. Sleep is just a relaxed state with closed eyes."

Note: There is no time-limited final seat in Klurendrejeriet® mini, but your answers need to be sent in by 13 October. This was the last part of Klurendrejeriet för dummies to be translated.

"4. TEAMS AND BOUNCE PEOPLE. Very few people have the mental strength or knowledge to solve all questions by themselves. It is therefore advantageous to form a team among your friends or family (Klurendrejeriet runs during the holiday season!). It is best, however, if your team is not too large, since the value of the questions is approximately inversly proportional to the number of correct answer to that question. This also means that if you, as the sole participant, hands in the correct solution to the highest valued question almost automatically have earned a seat in the final."

Note: The point value rules only apply to the original Klurendrejeriet® and not Klurendrejeriet® mini, where the points do not matter (since no one is keeping score!).

"2. STUDY THE QUESTION CAREFULLY! The questions in Klurendrejeriet have multiple information layers. This means that there may be information hidden or spread in both pictures (and caption) as well as in the text (and title). Sometimes, however, the question is straightforward and is described without further ado - something one notices only afterwards."

"1. AVOID CONFUSION! At first sight a question may look extremely simple. Do not get fooled! Just because something is described as a well-known object, does not necessarily make it one - actually it is more likely that indeed is something else! On the other hand, it may be a double bluff ..."
