Congratulations to all our winners and everyone who worked hard in the past month to make it far into the train. Especially to those who made it into the final cart! The fifth puzzle was nearly impossible, yet our top two finishers managed to get in long before the release of the golden key.

And yes, I know these puzzles were unfair. People still made it though. With their DETERMINATION. :)

Here are the answers for every puzzle.

Cart 1
Cart 2
Cart 3
Cart 4
Cart 5

Chest 1
Chest 2
Chest 3
Chest 4

Golden Key

I will probably not be doing another puzzle train like this for a while. That said, still expect some giveaways soon ;)

Update 11/18/2015

At the time of this update, there are 80 players doing Cart 2 when only 78 people have gotten into Cart 1. Moreover, only 6 people have solved Cart 3, but 7 people are trying to break down Cart 4's entrance. Cart 4 has 2 solvers, but 3 people are trying to solve the final cart. This really rustles my jimmies. I'm gonna give you guys the benefit of doubt and say one/some of you is/are opening the puzzles whilst not logged into your account, and if that is the case, please let me know. ^.^

A tie between question 1 and 3! Hints have been added to BOTH questions!

Edit: For those who think I enjoy seeing you guys suffer, it's kinda true. But I'm also having a hard time keeping my mouth shut.

NEW LEADERBOARDS

FIRST FIVE PEOPLE WHO SOLVE THIS PUZZLE WILL GAIN ENTRY TO EVERY CART AND GOLDEN CHEST. RULES AND INFORMATION ARE AVAILABLE IN THE PUZZLE DESCRIPTION.

*The reason why a new leaderboard was created was because someone accidentally solved the last one twice (lol). We need a new leaderboard, and as incentive for you guys to keep trying, I have added 4 more slots (up to 5 winners this time)

Sorry but:

Avoid using link shorteners, as they obscure the destination of the link, making it difficult for users to know what they're clicking.

the 1st is more obvious than the 2nd? is it that easy or i'm just a noob?

Comment has been collapsed.

It was kind of obvious to me. I never would call anyone noob on puzzle solving. If you are familiar with the phrase given -for whatever reason- it is easy for you. E.g. I tried some music puzzles and failed har, because I don't keep track of artist/song name most of the time I listen to music.

Until I find the puzzle a little side note :D.. Remove that *gif, it's a major spoiler to Undertale in my opinion.

Kinda spoiling the first 10-20 seconds of the game. It's barely a minor spoiler IMO. :U I'd prefer to keep in.

;_; IF you can find a replacement with the same effect as this one, I will change it. I spent like a whole 10 minutes making this gif and now you want me to remove it.

Aw okay, maybe people will just forget thehe. Didn't even know you made this, I've already seen lots of Undertale gifs. Good job :3

If some are only to be solved with knowledge of the games then I've reached the end of the line, that would make it another bruteforce puzzle and I'd rather do....nothing :P

The golden chests are locked with bruteforce puzzles :D

They may be worth solving. As I'll probably be stuffing them with a few more rewards depending on how many people are doing the puzzles :>

Are the questions really useless? Because I did get question 1 on golden chest 1. Although, I really don't know where to go from there. The difficulty curve seems exponential.

Also, is cart 3 still game titles? Or is that too much of a hint?

Hints will be added sometime next week to nullify the difficulty.

Thanks for the puzzle, but at the moment I stuck at Q3 and Q4. There are really tough and I need a break.

Ok, now only Q3 is unsolved!
