So, my birthday is on the 28th, and in tradition of either receiving a gift, or giving away gifts, I'm going to do the later. You gotta work for it if only a little bit, though. Here's a puzzle! As a whole, it's pretty easy, but some of it can be a little bit tricky! The giveaway will be open on my birthday ALL day. Not a minute before, not a minute after. So, you gotta be on next Saturday! One minor rule, the winner has to have said "Happy Birthday!" to me on the giveaway page, otherwise you don't win. Gotta make sure people are paying attention, ya know?

So, here's the format of the giveaway, rather standard stuff there. http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/xXx#X/bittrip-beat

And here's your hints!

First character = The first letter of the longest word that can be typed using the top row of the keyboard under standard settings (Hint: The row is qwertyuiop). Second hint: The answer to the riddle played a part in why qwerty was invented

Second character = This letter will get you 10 points if used in Scrabble. It also has absolutely nothing to do with Zebras.

Third character = In unicode hex 006C

Fourth character = A number is divisible by this number if its last 3 digits are also divisible by this number.

Fifth character = The first letter of the 61st most popular baby girl's name in Alaska in 2010

Since a couple of these are rather obtuse trivia, I figured I'd give a little bit of proof that the giveaway actually exists. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/18/birthdayproof.png/

Yay finally one i feel I might have a chance at, this is the first puzzle giveaway I really attempt so could someone clear something up? Do we basically replace the x's and # with the characters we find in the URL?

That's right!

x = lower case letter, X = upper case letter, # = number...

So, for example, xXxx# could equal aBcd1 or bBbb1 and so on. Then you just plug those letters into the URL I provided, replacing the X, X, and number signs, and viola, that should bring you to my puzzle!
