Being called a bum (butthead) may be a good thing. :p

Giveaway has ended, puzzle still considered active!
Well it's what I've been telling for a while I just have that thing to have extra reward for solving all puzzles in a miniseries, on top of the chances you did get from each puzzle alone (or didn't if you weren't solving as they go).
So yeah, actual solution will be a while before I post it.
But meanwhile.. Seriously.. Look up what photo finish is on wikipedia. And if you think you got the idea but are confused about not getting a proper giveaway code, then you either didn't read about it closely enough and are missing important information and aren't coming to a logical conclusion, or you know, it's just a 50-50 shot to get the right code.

You're still free to solve it, giveaway may be over but puzzle technically still active, and I hadn't posted the solution yet, just made it somewhat easier with something that should have been obvious anyway (that the whole point of the puzzle is reference to photo finish).
Bit unfortunate indeed that you did not to have the reward (King's Bounty: The Legend), ah well. Sorry about that.
I actually thought that over the weekend more people would see it and have time to do it, and since it is a very easy puzzle in my opinion, I didn't want it to last too long, or give something that not many people have (great many of my friends have it already so this is how I judged).
Apparently some people get bored at work and do puzzles from there, or alternatively chose to spend weekends away from computer, ah well. I'll probably take it into account in future, but more often than not I have slightly more difficult puzzles that I give more time to solve, so they're not just over the weekend anyway. Then again I've noticed that you don't seem to get that many more solvers if you give them more time, initial peak of interest quickly fades by either people solving the stuff early on, or giving up early on to never come back. So my rationale for giving more time is mostly to give those who are interested bit of wiggle room in time managment, they tend to like solving puzzles in general so surely have some other stuff on their solving agenda as well, why not give some breathing room then.

My miniseries of puzzles approaches the finish line, but before I unleash a bigger puzzle for the finale, there's one more - a wild giveaway appeared and whizzed through! Just look at it go!
You have this much time to catch up with it (ends 2014-01-26 2200 ZULU) (needs $26.01 CV)
Solve on your own, don't ask for hints (not here, not anywhere else), don't give hints yourself, yada yada yada. That should seriously be obvious, these are the rules of the land!
