Entirely Normal Armchair Rule

Sorry if this has been answered, but in regards to Entirely Normal Armchair, would I be able to generate mana, bluff paying for a morph play to put it face down on the battlefield, and essentially have it hide there in plain sight? The rules text didn't say anything about it needing to be face up, and this is my fave Unstable card.

There are rules that you can’t fake a Morph card as there is no way to confirm it.

Zero Mana Cost

"Sacrifice zero won’t do anything unfortunately. A cost has to be something to actually work." But if it's a mana ability, 0 counts? Just checking because of entirely normal armchair. Thanks in advance

If you are sacrificing something it needs to be something. Zero mana is a different animal and is addressed by the rules.

UnRules Question: Can my opponent activate "Entirely Normal Armchair" if it is underneath another card? ie He plays a Mountain with ENA underneath it. Does it have to be (subtly) unobscured at some point before he can activate the ability to sacrifice an attacking creature?

It can be hidden. Those armchairs are sneaky.

Goblin Jitte Adventure

Last night, in one turn, I assembled 8 contraptions, cranked 11 of them with CLOCK OF DOOOOOOOM!, and attached my opponent with a 12/6 flying, trampling, triple striking goblin who was carrying an Umezawa's Jitte. He was swiftly devoured by an Entirely Normal Armchair. Thank you so much for this format. It is just the most fun.

Armchair's Hidden Presence

Sometimes during a game my opponent will ask me what I have on the field, just to get an idea of what kind of blockers or threats I have. Am I allowed to omit an Entirely Normal Armchair from my answer? They asked for everything I've got, but it's in the spirit of the Armchair to lie about it.

You don’t have to tell them you have an Armchair.

is there anything preventing me from just activating Entirely Normal Armchair's second ability in response to my opponent activating its first ability, since it won't actually go back to my hand until the first ability resolves?

Guessing Armchair Location

If I just need to say there's an Entirely Normal Armchair under my opponent's cards to bounce it, then every turn before I attack, if they have two mana open, it seems like I'd want to say "It's under that forest, I bounce it. No? Well then, it's under that island, I bounce it!" If I'm worried about my attacks, based on what you've said so far I'll always want to try to bounce it :s

You can only activate it if you know where it is. If you attempt once and fail you’ve demonstrated you don’t know where it is and are done guessing.
