Seems like the earth is little too hard to dig deep enough...

reserved for possible hint (if not enough people solve).

First one actually (the other "solver" was a test, if everything is working correctly - should have cleared cookies :) ).
Congratz!

Ohhhhh, man, that sucks, sorry but if you know what you are doing and now how Wolfram alpha works (not necessary, should figure out what to do, also if you don't know wa), there is a new hint (hint 3) in the OP that should help you a lot!!!!

Just to confirm - will it accept the correct answer both with and without commas?
Comment has been collapsed.
nope, only without commas!!!!!!!!! But the number you posted is a wrong!
Does hint 3 help?

Well I've never used Wolfram before, but I think I can figure out the right input - but can't see what part of the output is the correct answer! I've tried various numbers from there without success...

One more hint: the problem states there are multiple possible solutions, but it should be the smallest solution greater zero.

INFO: Question one, insert number WITHOUT commas!!!!
INFO 2: I didn't pay enough attention on the last question, it should be except 2 and 3!!!
QUIZ: dig where X marks the Spot!
(Someone told me you can find this there.)
The GA is sgtools protected (just checking if no rules are broken).
Hint 1: On the island the pirates found this little note.
Hint 2: Ahhhh, one pirate tried to solve the question and took some notes. Sadly the ocean wiped away a lot, but perhaps it will help some clever treasure hunters to solve the problem. The notes lie > here < under the stone.Hint 3: the note dried a little and revealed a little more... > Here < it is.Hint 4: The > note < is completely dry now and almost everythin is readable now.(obsoleted with Hint 5)New:
Hint 5.1: With a lot of work you can decipher the note, just 1 (!) number is missing now: > Note <
You also see a note on the back saying: Remember we search the smallest solution greater than zero!
