Ok folks, this one shouldn't be too hard (or too easy), but there won't be a nice guide like my last one, this one will need you to venture forth into unknown lands in search of the giveaway treasure.
As always, this guide may give you one or two pointers if you get stuck.
And there's nothing truly hidden this time. The only catch is, for Part One, you may actually, gasp, need to use, wait for it, pen and paper, swoon, to write your answers down. Or Notepad, is probably what I'd do.

The puzzle giveaway is only Level 1, prize is Metro Redux Bundle.
And a Level 2 consolation giveaway for anyone who can't solve it.

Hint 1 (applies to whole puzzle): My reply to TreeB's first comment.
Hint 2 (for Part Two): Q10 could itself very well be solved even without knowing ALL the correct answers above.
Hint 3 (final straight): Never a good idea to ignore polls in threads...

Is this poll a smokescreen for more dodgy goings on?

Eh, I have no idea
ah, I may know what you mean
sigh, not another poll
yam (well, it looks a bit like a potato)

So apparently google just changed their logo.
Anyway, thanks for the consolation ga because i probably won't get to the puzzle one.
Good luck to every one else trying to solve this.

I can't decide whether I prefer the new logo or not. The first letter seems to be something more unusual than one might expect.

I give up. Anything I input even for the translation question is just wrong, using any dictionary.

As a direct translation of the first word it may not (though the word needed is a literal translation of that word) hence the second word clue to give an alternative way to find it. Hints will come after 24 hours :D
If you get the other questions correct that will also most likely give a clue too.

Seriously, I am not a total idiot but trying to solve these puzzles drives me nuts. Oh, well. I guess I just need someone to explain a couple of puzzles (that already ended) to me but I doubt anyone would do it :D
I read that post that suppose to help with solving puzzles but I still cannot solve about 90% of them

I completely solved the crossword puzzle but it doesn't seem to be in any way related to the itstoohard. Which leaves me totally cluesless right from the start. Will wait for the hints to show up (in 24 hours sigh)

Strange, I can only think your PC decided to remove a vital cookie or something? If you still got problems in a couple of days let me know and can send you them on Steam.

I'm logged into my ITH account, so I thought it would be tied to that. I'll keep an eye on it.

Two hours later, it still says 24hrs. I'm thinking it must be a cookie thing like you said. My laptop is borked rn and i'm using a friends, though, so I don't want to mess with it. Oh well. I finished the puzzle and am just trying to figure out the key part, are any of the hints even relevant to that part?

I solved 6/10 which is an accomplishment or me. I could probably find the other 2, but questions 2 and 5 confuse me. I'm just gonna wait for hints before coming back to this.
