The second hint sure helped. I made it to the main stage, but most of the photos doesn't ring a bell for me. D:

Wow I cant believe that worked. I only just got what he meant by that..........

Wrong, you have it backwards because reading from left to right produces a sequence which does not work. No wonder so many people had trouble... the information given was misleading and incorrect from the beginning. The way to get the numbers in the last 2 positions (as per hint 2), is to read from top to bottom, not left to right.

Congratulations for spoiling the puzzle. Doesn't matter that isn't the right order, you shouldn't post the letters or post any hints on how to get to the second part of the puzzle. Please, edit that comment.

I removed the incorrect sequence but I'm leaving the rest. The OP gave out wrong information and it's not fair to people trying to do the puzzle.

Could someone explain to me what "from left to right" really means? If I put the letters in order from left to right I don't get those digits on 7 and 8 but 4 and 7. What I did was start with the leftmost letter, then always take the next one that appears somewhere to the right from the letter I found before (most of the times its not to the right in a straight line but slightly below or above).
Wouldn't it be from top to bottom to get them on position 7&8?

dude you said from left to right, and if i look from left to right there is no way that 2 digits is the last two, so you didnt help at all you just make it more difficult.

i can't believe you man :( i've wasted 3 or 4 hours to pass stage 1.
Reasons
-At FIRST you said : I added 8 chars. They are in *proper order (from left to right)
-later : Digits are on places 7th and 8th.
this means chars are NOT in proper order :| :(
LE : got to stage 2,but that was extremely misleading....at least i hope to enter the giveaway....
LE2:no way i'm gonna solve it:))

it wasn't the hint...i've read some comments around here....that hint made me realize it was a mistake in the first place. Natural order is not top-bottom,it's left to right..i'm not reading rules and comments top-bottom,if you know what i mean.

You don't start at the bottom, though! Natural order is both: left-to-right, top-to-bottom. The left-to-right action simply loops back around like a typewriter and always advances downward. I think the confusion came because top-to-bottom is taken for granted with text, since it seems to be a constant in every written language, whether it's written first left-to-right, right-to-left, or vertically. Thus, the OP probably assumed we'd have the understanding of that element when in this context it was rather important since these single scattered characters are very different from reading anything else we normally encounter.
That's pretty cool that you got the correction out of the comments, though. I didn't pick anything up from them that would help. :P

My sentiments exactly -- thank you for explaining it in a good way. You can't treat a bunch of characters scattered about a 2-dimensional plane like you would when reading from a book. The key word is scattered. A book, by design has a very predictable structure and continuity to it so that there's no ambiguity as to where to begin or go next, something that a bunch of scattered characters in a picture lacks. Maybe this makes sense in Poland, but I doubt it.

I still think it was MISLEADING ....... "like you would when reading from a book " why not ? he said LEFT to RIGHT !!!! There were other options :
-left to right but not exactly :))
-almost in the same order
-not simply left to right ,and also i wasn't the only one who got it wrong...it was damn simple,but again not left to right.....just put 3 pencils :red,blue,yellow on the table from left to right but the one in the middle upper than the others....what's the order of them from left to right ? it's not the middle one first even it's higher :|

Hello,
My second puzzle. First one was too hard so this one be much more easier!
There are three stages. First one is here. You have to find link code somewhere on this picture made by Leonid Afremov. I added 8 chars. They are in proper order (from left to right) so brute force isn't needed. If you find them you'll get link to the main stage.
Puzzle ends at Sunday, 3rd of March
What's the prize? Game about da da da da da da da da da, Batman!
At this moment there are 9 solvers and 36 players who reach main stage.
HINTS
No. 1 - I see lots of you have case sensitive problem. Let's make it clear - there are 3 upper case, 3 lower case and 2 digits. I hope that helps.
No. 2 - First letter is the same (lower/upper) case as 6th. Digits are on places 7th and 8th.
No. 3 - Because there are many players who solved quiz it is the last hint. The most comments here are about problems with Q4. It is a game about smoking cigars, eating bananas, drinking cofee and cocoa for free!
Bonus hint - Q3: just think what this guy is famous for.
SOLUTION
Congrats to hejt3r for winning a giveaway!
Now solution. Chars from image SwnfUV31. That is itstoohard.com code so we got http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/SwnfUV31.
