I do hope that fanciful answers are okay. After all, this is how I answered the Neathbow question: Amnesia. Violence. A caver’s memory of sun. What drowned men see. Remembrance. Drowsiness. A black hole. And my doors thus: Ungold, the lightning-bearer, burnt sand, tusk, Eaten’s favorites, the death of trees, to commit thievery

It’s a stretch. It really depends on how many answers there are to read and verify - I can see what you’re going for, but there’s no guarantee that FBG are going to read the answers closely enough to tell that yours are right rather than just someone who has no idea, trying to be clever. After all, I bet for lots of these questions, there’s going to be lots of people who have no idea but try to cover it up by using fancy words.
The question, I suppose, comes down to whether FBG handles the Mysteries entirely via algorithm, or partly. It is reasonably certain that nobody’s going to go through every answer individually; even should someone wish to, it would be impossible to do in a timely manner, and that’s assuming someone is told off to do it full-time until it’s finished.
If memory serves, the last set of Mysteries answers were checked by searching for key words, so submissions that are too obtuse may not be picked up. Of course, you won’t actually get in trouble or anything - you just won’t get a point.
They did post a list of the most amusing answers, though, so it can’t just have been evaluated via keywords.
