SOLUTIONS POSTED AT BOTTOM


So I finished my last Math midterm exam on Wednesday. Being in a Institute of Technology type school, it's some pretty difficult math, but I did it, so to celebrate, I've created a tricky puzzle giveaway for everyone here.

However, instead of using this website to make a puzzle like many others, I've decided to stick with the old classics: basically I give you 5 questions/statements, and the first letter/number of the answer for each question corresponds to a letter or number that is part of the giveaway code (Which is like www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/XXXXX).

For example, if the question I asked was "Who’s that dude on a horse who warned his neighbors that the British soldiers are arriving?", the answer would be Paul Revere, and the letter P is the first letter for the giveaway code. And with that explanation, let us begin, and watch out, there might be a trick or two in this puzzle.

  1. Wow. Many tricks. So difficult. Much gibway.
  2. That giraffe thinks he’s so classy with his kitten pictures and upvotes.
  3. Past, Present, Future; Heaven, Earth Hell; Length, Width, Height
  4. Hakuna MaTaTa’s (Possibly NSFW???)
  5. True or False: The answer to this question is part of the giveaway code

Hints

  • The game being given away is a "trapformer" type game
  • The game was not in a bundle based on this list
  • There's at least 2-3 stages for this puzzle

    Stage 1:

  • Code format: Xxx#X
  • There's something fishy about that question #5
  • No seriously, you sure about question #5?
  • Either I'm drunk or something in here is italicized
  • One of the question is false

SOLUTION TO PUZZLES

Stage 1:

  1. Who’s that dude on a horse who warned his neighbors that the British soldiers are arriving? (Paul Revere: P was italicized in example question above. Was actually the REAL first question, followed by the other questions except for the supposed #5.)

  2. Wow. Many tricks. So difficult. Much gibway. (doge)

  3. That giraffe thinks he’s so classy with his kitten pictures and upvotes. (imgur)

  4. Past, Present, Future; Heaven, Earth Hell; Length, Width, Height (3)

  5. Hakuna MaTaTa’s (Possibly NSFW???) (Boobs)

  6. True or False: The answer to this question is part of the giveaway code (False: This question had nothing to do with the giveaway code and was created to keep you off track, as I attempted to hint about)

After a little brute forcing and google-fu, you should have gotten Pdi3B, which led to a private giveaway that ended a while ago. Looking at the comments, I made a recent post hinting of a hidden puzzle somewhere. Looking at the source and finding the puzzle should lead here

Stage 2:

  1. In the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, how many Rangers were there on the team (after Season 2) (6)
  2. Related to question 1, what color was the last ranger when he joined the team? (white)
  3. How many times did Goku use the spirit bomb in the TV series anime? (Minus all the movies and the DB:GT series bit) (3)
  4. Atone for your sins on this day, for yall need jesus! (Yom Kippur)
  5. Alright guys here's the deal. As soon as you leave the testicles you're going to come out through the penis and then you're going to enter the female body through the vagina. Then you're going to have to fight for your lives to survive the harsh regions of the female reproductive system. Eventually all the survivors will meet up the at the "egg " and only one of you will make it in. ( And will be a prisoner there for 9 months ) All the rest of you will die. So now that we're clear on that how confident do you feel? ....... (sperm)

After solving the itstoohard puzzle, you should've gotten a giveaway code: 8033e. However, it lead to another ended private giveaway. I then told you to go back and check your answers. If you do check, there are 5 questions and 5 answers for each question, which implies that the answers might be a giveaway code. If you input the characters as giveaway codes, you finally reach the end of the giveaway: 6w3Ys (note I did not realize that itstoohard disregards uppercase + lowercase answers, so a little brute force was required)


By the way, this be my first puzzle, HUEHUEHUE

So after about a week, the giveaway is finally over. After much stress, only 2 people made it to the end, with only 1 entry for the giveaway, so congrats to them! Solutions have been posted and thanks for those who attempted my first puzzle giveaway and another thanks for those who gave feedback along the way.

Sure is a lot of work for a crappy bundle game (which I have already). I'm glad I don't wste my time with puzzles that don't state up front what they are for.

Anyway, congrats to the winner.

Maaaaan... I could have tried this one if I'd seen it earlier... I don't know about the first puzzle, but the second one I could have done...

Kudos on the attention to detail, most elaborate puzzle I've seen so far...
