I did make a small mistake. I'm re-uploading the images. For now, consider the last V as an U.

I just want to clarify that, although the leaderboards for race 1 are full, you can still solve the puzzle and the giveaway is still open.

Race 3 is on! Running a few minutes late, sorry about that.

It's correct. Just a tricky question. You might have to think outside of the box a little.
Comment has been collapsed.
I had to fix the question because the paths Z-A and U-F actually don't use the same streets. So I added another answer for the path F-U, because then they use the same streets, only changing the order. Maybe that helps.

Ummm I actually did a small mistake in Q1. The path is not the same for buildings U to F. That one is even shorter. Fixed the question.
Comment has been collapsed.
Actually re-fixed it and added another acceptable answer for the path from building F to building U.

Lots of mistakes here. Really sorry. I'm doing these puzzles as we go, so sometimes I run out of time to double check everything.
First of all, the Morse sound decoder from the site that you are probably using doesn't seem to work. There's a mobile app that works just fine, but if you don't have a phone, you might have to install a software that decodes Morse sound code in your computer. Or if you have answered the first 3 questions, I can provide you an alternate way to solve it, if you contact me on Steam. This is all, of course, if you don't want to wait until the hint / solution.
For the mini puzzle, I've tweaked it a bit, since the Treasure Island I referenced could actually be from a lot of different years, so I tried to make it less ambiguous. Please refresh the page if you're stuck there.

Going around double checking everything. With hundreds of sheets in front of me. :P Already found a mistake in Q2, letter J. Fixed.
Comment has been collapsed.
Fixed another mistake at Q2, letter P. Also specified which path I took to solve the integral, since there are multiple solutions. Everything should be 100% correct now if you follow all the format tips I gave you.

Forgot to say: for this race, you cannot spin the Blue Wheel if you cross the finish line after the solution has dropped.

Piece 10 is in one of the Choo reminders. You have to solve the puzzle before it first. I can post the solutions if needed.
Comment has been collapsed.
If it's behind the one I think it is, can't find format for Q6.
Or I just have the wrong city.
Comment has been collapsed.
Check the venue where it happened. I think someone edited the Wikipedia page.
Oh and that's not piece 10, by the way.
Comment has been collapsed.
Answer for the first puzzle is "Godus" and for the second is "100".

Piece 18: http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/cSb6CrfX
This one wasn't linked, so you had to solve the entire puzzle to find it. That's why I'm linking it. If you found the other one, the answers are the same.

Piece 9 is hidden behind a fake "obligatory giveaway" link.
Comment has been collapsed.
Piece 17 is inside a giveaway. Look for a puzzle where I said "The solutions for the next steps have been posted in the giveaway pages." and check the giveaways from that puzzle.

Wildcard race is on! I'm still working on the last 3 questions. Will try to get them up as soon as possible.
Comment has been collapsed.
Alright, I'll post the solution, since I didn't expect it to be this hard.
Comment has been collapsed.
I added an update note on the puzzle, in case people haven't seen that I posted the solution.
Comment has been collapsed.
It follows the same line of thought, yes. They are linked in the Puzzle Archive section above and the solutions are there too if you want to take a look.
Comment has been collapsed.
You can also come back in 6 hours if you don't figure it out. The hint will contain the answer. xD

If a name is in vertical, it represents the vertical street. Same for horizontal ones. Sorry if that caused any confusion.
Comment has been collapsed.
by URL you mean : http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/12345/ or just the 5 characters?
Comment has been collapsed.
But that's too complicated. :P And you can find the giveaway before solving the puzzle. It's just there for confirmation.
Comment has been collapsed.
I know, but I've always referenced to them as an URL. I like to play games. :P

Maybe there are still some spots left when you wake up. :)

I was asleep for the first one, hopefully I can get through the second before everyone is awake

Bump for stuck on Q4, waiting for hints now (I kind of wish they were just hints, not the solution ^^)
also, "D'oh!" for the first one, I totally started doing the path thing, but then there were too many possibilities depending on which side you started on, so I just stopped at the second letter (also, not sure I would've thought of the last step XD)
Comment has been collapsed.
I think it's just not a good time yet - in Europe, everyone's just getting up/going to work, in the Americas most people are probably sleeping/going to bed, and the rest of the world might be at work? SG is never very active around this time of day ... just wait a little bit longer for the madness to begin ;)

Please edit or delete this. :P
Edit: Nah you can leave it. Not like that wouldn't have been the first idea that one would have. Now use it and think outside of the box. xD
Comment has been collapsed.
Well since I told escollo there was no need to delete it, it was something along this: But "through R" doesn't work.

don't have a solution for you, but here are some words I found ... how many pearls do I get for those? :P
ar, are, bar, bra, bare, bear, dicer, dice, ear, era, evil, ex, five, fiver, diver, dive, div, lid, live, liver, re, rex, flu, vid, lice, fixer, fix, verb, wild, ye, year, yer, zebra
I started alphabetizing them, but that got boring really quickly
Comment has been collapsed.
Hey, you're a Blue Diver! You get all the pearls. :P "Blue" is also there. xD
Comment has been collapsed.
oh, I only used connected letters, I'm sure there are many more words to find (I used to play a lot of Ruzzle on my phone, not sure why I stopped ...)
in case you couldn't tell, I've pretty much given up now, I'll just wait and see if there are any spots left after the answers drop :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh I see. I hope there are spots left for you then. m3rc sure got his. :P

You probably replied at the exact moment I was editing the thread, so it didn't post. :P

Well to be fair, you can use the Z-A path for U-F, but it's not the shortest one in terms of how many streets you use.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah sorry, I should have re-checked the questions before posting it. As for the format, an example of an answer would be: 54th Street - 64th Street

To end this year of puzzles, I will do a big puzzle event that will include ideas from all of my previous puzzles. It will be like a race. The first 10 people to cross the finish line in each race will receive pearls. Each race will last 12 hours and contain one bundle giveaway. The final giveaway will be unbundled and exclusive for the Top 10 of the leaderboards (the game will probably also be chosen by the Top 10).
The hint for each puzzle will contain the answer. This is to assure that there are solvers even if not many people can figure out the puzzle.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!
