Hey everyone,

So as chosen here the next giveaway is for Salt and Sanctuary.

Here is your puzzle to enter it. It's tougher than the last, but no where near impossible. I may be willing to drop hints on this if solving is slow. Lots of logic and stuff.

As I stated in the above thread, I'm also doing a second giveaway with a second puzzle. Completing this one will earn you a spot on my whitelist that I may or may not use at some point in the near or distant future. I honestly have no idea. Right now it's just something I feel like having in case I do want to make a giveaway using it.

Here is your puzzle for that. It is more difficult, but not impossible by any means. I will likely give hints on this one as the days past if I feel recruitment is slow. It should be relatively easy to do though.

Both giveaways will last until September 9 at about 11PM EST.

Both giveaways have rules from sg tools about activating wins, multiple wins and vac bans.

Good Luck.

EDIT:
Gubertuber has annihilated my puzzles and completed both in no time. I may have to create a near impossible puzzle just because of that.

HINTS:

There is a possibility that time differences make a difference for P2Q1, Try +/- one day if it's not taking your answers.

For those stuck on P2Q1, There are 5 different formats for the date that are accepted. Time is not necessary.

P1Q4: I have found 3 ways to continue the sequence that are immediately obvious to me. I know not everyone is great with mathematics however. It will take some logic, but it's not too difficult to figure out. It is a 3 part sequence, so make sure you are using the correct part of it.

Things P1Q4 is not:
d=a+7, e=b+7, f=c+7, ?=d+7 (15)
b=a+2, c=b-1, d=c^b, then + 2 -1, then ?=f^e
Does not use exponents at all

P1Q4 is less than 100
Each number only uses 1 other number and some equation to get to it. It will not use multiple previous numbers in the sequence.

Hint that comes later will reveal a bit about it. My guess, is that your month format is off.

Got it now.
I had put in the last part wrong since I decided to copy it by hand for some reason.

2 great giveaways!
Thanks man.

BTW,
If I can be pedantic, for a minute:
In P2Q1 should probably say "when" rather than "what"
In P1Q1 there is no equation, it's an expression. :)

Good thinking! We should split up the years, so we can divide and conquer. I just eliminated the year 2000, so that's 356 options down. I'll work forward from there, you work backwards.

I have a date, I just don't have the format it should be presented in or the certainty it's accurate taking into account timezones. RIP

Thank you for the chance! May I suggest adding the option to use a decimal comma instead of a decimal point for the answer to the first question of the second puzzle? It may confuse some european users.
