I'm posting today and in the next Fridays a series of private giveaways for forum members. Your SteamGifts account must be at least 3 weeks old and you can enter only one of the giveaways of the list.

There will be more rounds but the special rule applies to all giveaways linked in the thread, you can't enter in one of the giveaways of the first round and later enter again.

You will not know what giveaways will be created and how long this event will last. You can try to guess, though. I don't want set my Steam inventory privacy to private, but you can't be sure all the giveaways will be from the Steam store, or if I buy the game after the giveaway has been closed, or if the giveaway is always from me, or so...

You will have to pick your giveaway wisely, considering what you can win and how many chances you have to win.

This special rule was approved by Support. If you ignore the rule and enter multiple giveaways and win one, I'll request a new winner.

All rounds will start, indicatively, Friday, and end Monday, 19:00 CEST (17:00 GMT, it's the time when the Steam store front page gets updated with the new deals). They can be private giveaways or puzzle giveaways (not hard puzzles, presumably).

Everyone is welcome to enter my giveaways, just make sure you follow the rules.

--- Round 1 (10 April - 14 April) --

Total participants: 760 (69 invalid)
Total entries: 923 instead of 760 (163 invalid)

They are all quality games. That is critically acclaimed games or games I enjoyed. And I'm going on with this.


--- Round 2 (18 April - 21 April) --

Total participants: 1021 (102 invalid), 305 (round 2 only, 37 invalid)
Total entries: 1214 (193 invalid)

More good games here. Sorry, I was forced not to use direct links, due to an unwanted number of invalid entries. I feel like I forgot something but let's start...


--- Round 3 (25 April - 28 April) --

Total participants: 1117 (106 invalid)
Total entries: 1316 (199 invalid)

They are hungry and want to eat you. Do you hear them coming? You should, they are not sweet-smelling. I don't know how can they always attack by surprise so easily in the movies and so...

I hope you aren't disappointed for the number of giveaways, there is no fixed number for that.

It isn't really a puzzle. Look for that game with the highest probability of an invalid winner. For example, Resident Evil 5 invalid entries ratio is 56 / 310 = 0.18... You need something of greater than 0.18.

I had trouble with it too.

First, I just looked at the ratio for 'total entries/invalid', since it's the explicit information you have in the OP. But then, I realized that 'valid/invalid' ratio in this case would be '(total-invalid)/invalid'. :P But still, the quiz answer wouldn't be the actual correct answer. Eventually, by trial and error, I found the right answer.

In your RE5 example, you calculated the 'invalid/total entries' ratio. The 'valid/invalid' ratio would be (310-56)/56 = 254/56 = ~4.53.

I hope it makes sense for you. :)

Just kidding, I thought you wanted more entries in this round for less entries in the future. Or perhaps I was thinking to something else. ;)

Thanks, joined for AC II ;) Had a bit of the problem with Q2 though, as it wasn't that obvious to me what hat you are talking about ;p

BTW: Noticed that u have 9,001 entries. Is it on purpose that u have OVER 9 THOUSAND of entries and u keep it that way, or just a coincidence? :D

Sorry, but did you read the introduction? Such questions should have an answer there. If my bad English wasn't clear enough, then I must change something in my first post.

When you say the Giveaways end on monday, do you mean for all rounds, or just for round 2?

Could be both. Who knows if there will be round 3. It did say the same thing for round 1 though.

If you are wondering if there are in the comments any clues for the puzzle #2, the answer is yes, but they are not at all obvious.

Awww...blew my chance. Interesting concept for a giveaway, though. I've contemplated setting up a multiple game giveaway with having it so that the same person could not win more than one game, so they'd have to choose which one to participate in. This was brutal, though! :D
