[SOLUTION] Exam giveaway shenanigans.

Thread: Clicky.

Solution:

• List of files: I can't believe no one tried that. :(

• Basically, there was no actual puzzle solving. Only logic, thinking, and reading between the lines were needed.

• I made a lot of "obvious" "OBVIOUS" "Captain Obvious" references. This is referring to the fact that the "answer to the giveaway" is very, very, obvious.

• No the answer is not 42.

• There were a series of distractions: Guess what? They were purely distractions.

• "Freebie" --> 34.txt: This hints you to your reward, Memoir.png. A QR code. Simply decode, and you have your five character SteamGifts giveaway code.

• "Annoying one" --> Really, really, obvious. Like, honestly, Giveaway.txt obvious. Look through the various .png files, and you'll find that out of the ones listed, Synthesist.png's QR code can be decoded to yet another five character SteamGifts giveaway code. The rest decodes to itself (e.g. Hermione.png decoded to 'Hermione').

That's just about it I think. Thanks for joining my puzzle giveaway! :)
