You should be able to solve this using only logic. The giveaway ends in 3 days. I might post a hint later if the puzzle turns out to be too hard.

Good luck!

Question: for the hints like "-Neither the gifter who gifts Dead Island nor the gifter who loves Bioshock is the person with 9 dollars CV." Is it sure the gifters are two separate people?

wait, you ask for a person with a specific cv, so why do we need to write cv in answer again?

Otherwise you could just try all the names within few minutes. This way you have to solve it. :)

I tried all the names and it didn't work :/

Sadly It's unsolvable if you don't take multiple guesses.

Not true...

There's only one logically correct answer :)

So you solved all answers without even making single mistake? I'm pretty sure you gotta find out some facts by guessing.

I did indeed.

Made a logic grid in Excel to keep track of things and definitely no guessing required.

I'm sure some smarter people worked it out in their head though :D

If you're not lying I'm probable missing something because even analyzing all the given facts there's still too much of a information missing and only way to find it out is to guess.

Well, I'm certainly not lying. That would be a pretty pitiful piece of trolling, and surely beneath even the most juvenile of SG users.

I didn't have to guess any of the answers, but (for me, at least) it would have been all but impossible to have worked it out without using a grid to fill in the gaps...

Yeah a grid is highly recommended :)

Ok I solved it, could you send me the grid to see how you did it? I added u on Steam.

Sorry - I deleted it as soon as I'd completed the Itstoohard puzzle but basically the format was an Excel version of this. I can recreate the grid in Excel if you want though, and even do the puzzle again, but this is the "basic" format for solving these sort of problems. A series of ticks and crosses helps you follow through the logic from the starting premises to the final solution.

Anyone who can do all this in their head, as I'm assuming you did, gets my utmost respect :)

Try here, from my dropbox. Saved as excel 97/2003 spreadsheet, so it should be compatible with just about everything. Please remember not to download random files from the internet that may contain macros. I suggest opening it with google docs instead. In fact, from here you can go to file -> edit, and solve the puzzle without even downloading it to your hard drive!

Thanks, I filled in all possible squares, but It's still unsolvable. I have no idea how you people solved it only with the grid.

Oh, I haven't solved it. I gave up 5 minutes in because I was bored.

I also made a grid in Excel.
I had to guess some answers but since you can confirm it directly in TooHardPuzzle it's rather easy.

Bump for solved. Found a useful website that builds those logic grid thingies for you to keep track. That makes things much more sane. Nice job!
