Hi everybody =P Ok, let me explain, the thing is I wanted to do a puzzle and see all of you scratching your heads, but the questions I think of can be pretty strange and I don't know is they can be guessed properly so this one is just a little trial to see if I do more of these or not =D

With that said here is the puzzle

They won't be much longer than that, I'm not that good making up questions xD So good luck everyone! Since some of the questions have to do with the game being given I see no point in hiding it.

Hints will be given through the duration of the giveaway, as more time goes on with no entries more hints will appear. As soon as at least 3 people manage to solve it and enter the giveaway hints will stop completely.

Maybe it is too easy? Maybe too hard? That's what I want to find out so good luck again! =)

This is an individual puzzle so no sharing answers or hints and no leaking. Usual puzzle rules.

Hint 1: [Q1]There are no unmentioned items used.

Hint 2: [Q2]Can you really make giveaways for "Meat" in steamgifts? Think about it.

Hint 3: [Q2]Think about that pig.

Hint 4: [Q2]There's no "Meat" giveaway on Steamgifts, sow how did the pig do it?

Hint 5: [Q3]There's a code to get this, you don't need to guess blindly and you don't need to know spanish at all.

Hint 6: [Q2]That pig managed to make a web do something it shouldn't, it sure is smart.

Hint 7: [Q3]That second sentence have a few weird things, maybe it have to do with the answer?


Answers:

Question 1: Move one candle (and other variations)
Don't think it needs further explanation, just move one candle so they are all on a straight line.

Question 2: The pig is a hacker (and other variations)
That pig made a giveaway that isn't supposed to exist, so that hacker pig obviously entered SG's database and changed it just because it was bored. By the way the meat gives 0.0$ of contribution so don't try farming with that ;D

Question 3: No te Starves|No Starves
The second sentence have two weird things, first is half in spanish and half in english so you need to translate the "Don't" from "Don't Starve" to spanish. Then the second one is the "s" in the end of "games" so you add a "s" to the end and you get "No te Starves"

**The easy way is "No Starves" since if you google translate "Don't" you get "No" and it could be difficult to get that "te" I use there.

Seems like is not much liked =P Well guess I'll stop after this, not like I'm good with doing logical math-like or code-like puzzles, anyway here is a hint for question 1: Don't just keep guessing random things, you're not using some strange artifact no mentioned in the question, so no fans, no using water and no throwing planes at it.

Every fking day at SGforum and dota2 markets kill me.

"Whay question doesn't have answer?" "0/0=?" "I don't want read your annotation but i want get profit"

Before posting your good(stypid?) puzzle ask your brother/father/male friend solve it(women have own "special" logic)

You don't even check answers~

Example - Q1: I read stypid question, I lose my time. Let's check... Wrong! Okay time=money. Let's check... Wrong! I'm angry. Let's check "nerve"... Wrong!

And yeah, you're smarter than me. Good day(night)

can we get some hints about the format that the answers need to be in? I've found 2 solutions to the first question but I don't know what format they should be in

1 decade ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

I tried to use different formats as answers so you can get it easily, try to keep it simply and if you still don't get it that's probably not the correct answer. Question 2 may be tricky is you try to input the answer the wrong way, is nobody gets it there will be a hint.

Ok, here's the hint, in Q2 you should think more about the pig itself and not what it did.

Q2, second hint didn't help at all :P

Okay, here it goes:

For question 2, since there are no "Meat" giveaways and yet the pig made one, that's fishy right? How did it do it?

Hi there, thanks for the quiz.

Unfortunately doing it outside of real life where you can select good answers means that answers that work aren't credited, or require exact wording, much like many mark schemes for us students.

First one: 4 solutions considered.

Second one: 5 solutions considered.

Third one: Consider too vague.

With 0 of the 134 players managing to get it, I think we need some clarification.
As a minimum can we have the number of words/letters in each one?
Thanks.

I see, I'm taking a bit of info from this so my next puzzle goes better ;) I tried to use all kinds of wording I could think of as answers so is you got the correct one it should be fine with a few tries and that's why I can't give a exact number of words for an answer but I can say some little things about the questions:

First one: This is actually the easiest, don't think it needs much more hints, is true that there may be more solutions but I think the one I choose is easy enough to guess.

Second one: This one is the most problematic, maybe I should have worded it a bit different, you can see one more hint in the first post.

Third one: Actually I don't think this one is vague and is actually the only one that follows a code. That's a little hint in itself, try to find it.

Hint for question 3:

What you don't have to do maybe is related with the game's name? And if you think that second sentence should be in english then there are some weirds things about it, maybe that's a hint to something?

Since seems like nobody is having luck and the thing its about to end let's got with hints for everything ;)

Hint Q1: Just do a simple thing yourself before blowing and it's done.

Hint Q3: If you get the game's name and do something according to the second sentence maybe you get something?

Q1 isn't hard. You're right. I can solve it logically. It's just the specific answers that are accepted are probably stupid.

All these clues and still no solvers. On a forum where some people have moved heaven and Earth to solve some of the most ridiculously convoluted, counter-intuitive, near-impossible, read-my-mind, puzzles in the world...AND SUCCEEDED!

I really want to see the answers to this! (except 1, I've got 1. In fairness I knew 1 a long time ago but it never took my answer. Had to go through so many different formats of the same thing.)

Ok, if it comes to this...

Y = Word with 3 letter or less
Z = Word with 4 letter or more
I just chose one of the various possible ways of writing the answers:

Q1: Z Y Z
Q2: Y Y Y Y Z
Q3: This one has only two possible solutions, true solution: Y Y Z, easier one: Y Z

You don't need to know what it says in the question, but even so Google Translate helps with the answer. In fact the easier answer counts on you doing that.
