The Great Puzzle! WITH A SOLUTION! AND SUPRISE!!! IT'S STILL OPEN!!

Closed

So... it seems I passed my exams. Yeah, 2 weeks of doing nothing now.

I'll be free from all these questions...

Questions. Who likes them anyway, you can always get them wrong resulting in failing your exams/studies/puzzles.

But how can you give wrong answers to something which has no questions whatsoever?

That's right, you can't.

No leaking, no sharing answers, no solving together. You'll just get suspended and you won't win a game anyway.

The game's quite old, has ~80+ metascore, lots of you probably played it, but hardly anyone on Steam. 'Tis a good game, though.

THE ONLY HINT YOU'LL EVER NEED*: Check my SG profile.

*unless number of solvers won't satisfy me

This was the first meta-puzzle I solved. Google helps if one does not know the context.

So apparently it is neither Cossacks: European Wars nor Risen, nor Counter-Strike.
Thats all I could get from your SG page, maybe try it again tomorrow.

Edit: The thread is still open, the giveaway of course is not. :P

Ok, short FAQ.

Q: So what was the solution?!?

A: 'EXECUTE'. However, I doubt anyone actually wrote that. So I made it also accept 'LOST' as an answer.

Q: Lost? You mean the TV show?

A: Yep. Exactly.

Q: Oh, fuck you, I haven't watched it.

A: And? So did a quite lot of people who solved my puzzle - you didn't need any source material, with a hint posted below it was quite easy to notice the pattern. Since "'42' was not the only relevant number", then logically the other contribution numbers meant something as well. Google -> "4 8 15 16 23 42" or "42 23 16 15 8 4" -> shitload of results.

Q: And where's the surprise you promised in the thread?

A: I didn't promise any surprise. I promised suprise.
