To all IQ Puzzle fanatics out there, this is what you’ve been waiting for! The Tips, Hints and Mechanics of the 2nd Blue Stickman IQ Puzzle. After the success of the first IQ Challenge, I’m proud to give you the second IQ Challenge! This time it will be a lot harder, but not that hard. It’s just harder compared to the first one, but don’t think of it as hard and impossible to answer because as what I have said, it’s not that hard.


The prizes at stake are: $50.00 thru Paypal, 1 Free Domain Registration for 1 Year, a 125×125 Sidebar Banner at Jehzlau Concepts for 1 month (that’s worth $100.00! Really!) and these oh so cool limited edition Google Code Stickers (I got these during the Google Techtalk last November 2007 and I know that these are very rare nowadays because… these are rare, hehe)


So now let’s go to the mechanics, hints and tips. Without these, you can’t answer the puzzle correctly. You should follow the mechanics, tips and hints in order to get the right answer to this puzzle. If you don’t follow the instructions, then you’re wrong. If you did the opposite and got the correct answer, the you’re right! Yay!

INSTRUCTIONS:
Below is the picture of the puzzle as previewed in the announcement of the first IQ puzzle winner. All you need to do is find the common tribes. There are 15 Blue Stickman tribes in the picture. These tribes are grouped in boxes. The number of tribe members differ from each other, but there are also tribes with the same number of members. There are two unique tribes and these tribes are different from the rest, but they have a common factor (The hints will help you find what’s common with them). All you need to do is choose two boxes (2 tribes) below and explain why are they different from the rest and how they are related to each other.
