Hopefully you will be posting the solution to this when it is done because I still have no idea after all the hints and I am very curious.

I can't get 34... The rest is easy enough after the hints but the 34 is where I'm getting stuck...

Haha. Pretty sure messing up in the first step as getting 40 instead.

Another bump for solving the second hidden puzzle (it's even more math)

Surprised I got this wrong. Most probably the hex calculator I used was shit. Thanks for the solution.

after seeing the solution... hint 2 was plain wrong, sg tools urls are 32/36(8-4-4-4-12 for character counts) characters(depending on if you count the hyphens), not 34...
the only things that are exactly 34 characters long are steamgifts urls... so the hint muddies the water on what to do even more

Greetings, fellow math enthusiasts!
The weekend is near, and it's time to assign some math work!
11681 x 119869 - 60422 - 17860 - 35433 - 94116 x 4993 x 595073 = ?

Hints will be here, if necessary.
3436 characters long!The most important part in this puzzle is realize that the answer you're looking for is sgtools code.
Instead of subtraction, we treat the symbol '-' as a hyphen, which is part of the code.
So the two step you need. First, do the multiplication, leave you 5 numbers separate by symbol '-'.
Next, convert these numbers to hexadecimal, then you have the answer.
Most people probably didn't realize this is sgtools format or it consists of hexadecimal numbers.
It's indeed rare to see people manipulate the sgtools code.
But I can't help thinking about the hyphen symbol in the math puzzle, it's a perfect fit!
Speak of the math. the second part of the puzzle is an actual math question, generated by this site.
It should be easy if you're familiar with these math equations, if not, there are plenty of online tools you can use(mathgpt, wolfram, etc..).
That's all! Hope you enjoy the puzzle, I'll probably go back to 5-character code next time.
edit.
As someone point out I made a mistake in hint2, it should be 36 not 34!
