there are five characters in this episode of F.U.C.T., three of which are new.  there are five actors playing these five characters, two of which are new.

discuss.

Hilarie is playing a different character...making an new character but NOT a new actor.

...I guess it could be any of the actors playing a different character in that case...but I'm going to stick with Hilarie.

Okay so, two actors are the same two characters at the last F.U.C.T. then out of the two new actors, one of them is playing another roll (a.k.a a different costume/person (playing 2 rolls.)). Introducing three new characters, and two new actors.

Or two actors, are the same two characters as the last episode, than one of them is also playing a second character (two rolls). Then the two new actors each have 1 roll to fulfill.

Other possibilites which don't make as much sense would have the two new actors playing 'old characters' (one's other people did in the last episode) and with the three old actors they are all playing 'new characters' except for one whose also playing an 'old character'.

I should have never read the comments after reading the riddle, they just confused me more! I think before I read them I was just thinking that simply it pretty much meant that, we had 3 of the original actors from the first episode, two of which (who are probably Rachel and Taylor, playing Clarisse, and Walter) are playing characters from the first episode. Then that 3'rd "old actor" was playing a new character. That would leave us with 2 new actors playing new characters.

Didn't seem to complicated to me at first - then I read the comments....haha. The trick to riddles usually is to not overthink it.

Haha this is hysterical and fun I am not gonna lie lol!! I myself suck at riddles but here are my stabs at it;

Any one of the 9 people we were introduced to before could be playing a dual role (mel, clarrise,walter,joan,fern,simon,parker,ramona,crimson) that's nine possibilities

Hil, Nick, or long shot Kelly can be playing themselves 3 more possibilities..lol 

any of the seven may have real life twins hereby tricking us into thinking it's the same actor lol now I am just out of control thats 7 more possibilities 

Ahhhh it's craziness I will just wait the patient wait to see what the real story has for us!! Pumped for the new webisode hope all went well for you guys

Here's my perspective. There could very well be 5 actors each playing a character.  If there are 3 old actors but only 2 old characters, one of the actors could've not been playing just yet..but it doesn't mean he's a new actor, his part might have not come up yet. So then you bring the 2 new actors in along with the one old actor and you get 3 new characters! :)

5 actors and corresponding roles:

A:old actor = plays old character F

B:old actor = used to play as old character F, but in this episode plays new character F's twin: new character J

C:old actor = plays old character G

D:new actor = plays new character H

E:new actor  = plays new character I

 

How is it possible for two actors to play the same role? A and B are identical twins playing alternately as an old character F (i think they do that in hollywood), but one of them will play the old character's twin as the new character J.

therefore we have, 3 new characters, 2 new actors

So the way i see it, the new actors have to be playing the new characters, because I doubt you have recast any of these fine roles, and I can't see you flashing back far enough that you would need a different actor to play one of the existing characters in their youth.

 

I'm betting Rachel and Taylor are back as Clarisse and Walter. (i don't think Nick can resist writing more of Walter's antics!)

Then I'm thinking we see Morganna as Crimson playing a role in one of FUCT's plays. (But we won't actually see her as Crimson, just the role, hence the 5-3-5-2.

Then two new actors with new characters for FUCT's current production. 

 

i can't figure out any way for it to work other than two of the 7 actors we've already met returning in their original roles, plus one returning as a role within a role and then two newbies.  Because if 2 or 3 actors we've already met return as new characters than one of the new actors would have to be playing one of the existing characters for it to work.  hmmmmm should be interesting (and awesome!) i <3 riddles.

 

<3 vicki

an old actor is playing a new character and the two new actors are playing the other new characters.

 

three new characters

two new actors

oh yeah that last comment was made my lrmmtw1@aol.com

i forgot to put my email lol

<3 laura

yeah, the only thing i could come up with was one actor is playing two roles.  i'm not very good at riddles.

I'm not very good at riddles either - your guess is as good as mine. The 17 possibilities are throwing me off.

i think that there are  120 possible answers. 5!. but i'm not sure.

^this riddle is confusing me to no end lol...very tricky lol...I don't know how in the world you managed to come up with ATLEAST 17 possible answers lol.

Possibly an original cast member is playing multiple characters? -that’s all I have got; I am pathetic ha-ha.

I think you are on the right track. At least one actor is 2 characters.

I think one of the  actors is played a previous role but is also going to be a new role.

i think that we will meet the evil twin of an old character.
