The more i look at it the more i see your point.
Q: Do Dogs bark? Well thats a broad question, a few dogs dont or very rarely Q: Do Rivers flow upstream? Your right an earthquake out at sea can cause a river to flow upstream and then a tsunami Q: Are Deserts lush? Whats lush? You could even misread it and think yes i think desserts are quite lush especially chocalate fudge cake Q: Are Slaves free? Not until they get their reperations they are not. So no. Q: Are Oceans filled with water? Is the ocean on Earth or Mars? Q: Do Liars speak the truth? Depends who is listening. Q: Is Fire hot? Yes Q: Is Vinegar sour? To someone with no tastebuds, no Q: Is Blood red? No its multi coloured amongst the animal kingdom so i refuse to answer your question. Q: Is Ice hot? Dry ice can burn, but is it hot, damn it. Q: Do Maggots feast on corpses? For some reason im not playing the game in a language i can read so i dont know what this word is Q: Do Giants tread lightly? Well the Giant Panda treads very lightly for its size Q: Does Fire consume stone? What temperature is the fire and what stone are we using here? So vague. Q: Do Wolves Howl? I have seen werewolves howl in the movies but do actual wolves howl?
Occam's razor, keep it simple, dont think too much and play in a language you are familiar with. Use blizzards UI, if you are attempting the quest Mental Training. Or better still go to wowhead for the list of questions beforehand and write down the answers, i think that falls within fair use of the rules, you can never tell.

Plus Monty Python fans know that very small rocks float.
Level 89. After scouting it out to find that it's safe, I did the quest to get to Pandaria while it's still worth unsquished XP, and the Tol Barad dailies. Then I ventured into Deepholm. Knowing that intro quest has bugged out in the past did nothing for my nerves but I got through safely enough. Explored Deepholm, and now I've settled down to questing.

Level 90
!!!
And there was much rejoicing. Wrath of the Fungalmancer has Doomshrooms, which are capable of hitting you for 2k even with the stat squish. I cleared this one without scouting but I wish I had scouted that one, too. Mentioning this very likely saved my hide. I was able to fully prepare for the quest and didn't run into any trouble at all. So thank you. I have a handful of quests left in Deepholm. I guess I might as well finish them up. They're not worth much past lvl 90.

The more i look at it the more i see your point. Q: Do Liars speak the truth? Depends who is listening. Q: Is Fire hot? Yes A liar doesn't have to lie 100% of the time to be a liar. Fire is hot by human standards. If you're doing astrophysics and dealing with temperatures in the millions of degrees, fire doesn't even seem to be warm. The more i look at it the more i see your point. Occam's razor, keep it simple, dont think too much and play in a language you are familiar with. Use blizzards UI, if you are attempting the quest Mental Training. Or better still go to wowhead for the list of questions beforehand and write down the answers, i think that falls within fair use of the rules, you can never tell. You should see the Wowhead comments on this quest. Top comment, with a +234 score, is from a non-iron who died 2-3 times trying to solve the quest with "/say yes", "/yes", etc. (http://www.wowhead.com/quest=25299/mental-training-speaking-the-truth-to-power)

Level 91
After hitting 90, I've slowed down. Other than exploring Pandaria (25% of the xp needed to get to 91, probably more now) and picking up a goat (for a more fun pet than bear that also gives a stamina buff that it.. no longer gives me..) I haven't done anything in Pandaria. I did finish Uldum - it can't have provided me with much more than 10%-20% of the XP needed to get to 91. I did the Thrall quests in Hyjal and the level 85 quests in Northern Stranglethorn, and I did my dailies regularly. Originally I planned to try aim for 92 before visiting Pandaria, but now I'm not so sure.
Since I am still working on experiencing the entire lore of an expansion, I'm sending an alt into the Twilight Highlands today. I'm really looking forward to moving on to Pandaria though. Cata's been swell but the swelling's gone down.

Twilight Highlands doesn't seem bad. I suspect that the Horde side of the zone is a lot easier than the Alliance. Dropping the Hammer, which is the quest that seems to cause so much trouble, is an Alliance only quest. I'm going to do the first few quests on my Iron, just to see if the xp is worth it. The longer I can hold off Pandaria the better, because the more XP I can make in Pandaria the better, as I'm looking forward to Legion and the new level cap now. If I can hold off going to WoD zones until level 101 that would be amazing - but we'll see how possible that is.

The quest Devoured seems to involve dying to complete it. I'm not sure if it counts as a real death, but I'm not risking it.

I accidentally attacked Hutia in Jade Forest.
RIP Discordkitty. Level 91. What a way to go. :')

Once Legion comes out, I may start the challenge over again. Until then, good luck to everyone else - I hope there's a few more 100s before Legion hits. <3

I thought I could go a whole week before creating a new Iron buuuut I've already made one, along with a proper scout this time. Discordkitty is dead, (I wrote a post in her honour on my blog) and with her, my dream of a Blood Elf Iron. (Anaralah will have to achieve that one.) I plan to resurrect her as a demon hunter. Instead, I've decided to embrace Legion by creating a Goblin Hunter so that I can have a collection of mechanical pets. Goblins don't have the world's most amazing benefits, but they're OK. The access to a bank and the discounts are nice perks, the Rocket Barrage is a nice extra attack, and the Rocket Jump can be useful. The car you get for the first few levels is also nice. This time, I've created two goblins that I'll level simultaneously. The first is the IRONSCOUTRON-2, or Istronii. She will be allowed, sometimes even required, to die. The second is Discordiron. It's a pun. Not a very good one. I'm still focused on Loremaster though, and unlike before I can really take as much time as I want to with no real deadlines looming ahead, so it'll be awhile before I update again.

It's OK, Discordkitty has been resurrected as a non-Iron Demon Hunter. I <3 her. And Discordiron is... level 8. Kinda pointless trying to Iron during prepatch, but I might make the effort to get her off the lost Isles this week. Will just have to hope like hell there's no Doomsayers in Org that day.

Thank you! I've been away from WoW completely for like a year, so a lot has changed, and there's a lot to get used to. But I kept picking up junk lvl 100 armor on my main and it just made me think about Ironman, like, all the time. Let's see how long I last.
I'm so happy account-wide mounts are now allowed. No more running for meeee. I was also surprised to learn about goblin glider kits being allowed, even if they continue to be hotly debated. Watch me though: I'll get overconfident and have at least one falling death anyway.
