TL;DR?! Here's the quiz: http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/6aPjTQH6 That's all!

I will send the gift to the winner, and it's steam redeemable. Anyone solve this puzzle and comment on another private giveaway will be invited to this group and have the chance to win Metro 2033.
FYI, if you already have Metro 2033, you can join the private one for the price, so the puzzle is still worth a try.

Don't try to add me only ask for joining the group, or you will get blocked.

GL HF!

It will last for 1 month

If you have any questions,join the group chat and PM me. This is not necessary, when I tell someone something in PM, I'll add them to this thread as new hints.

steam://friends/joinchat/103582791432971281

Don't share your answers in group chat, I provide this only for you to PM me. Anyone who leak the solution will be excluded from this giveaway!

No Spoilers Allowed! You need to figure it out by yourself.

I went through all the steps myself and they works fine.

update1:
It's not hard to find.

update2:
Check link added No hints for this one. If you don't know what it is, just stop trying, it's useless. By the way, you can solve the puzzle without it.

When you get something partly random, not fully chaos, you're on the right way, just figure out why. (Déjà vu!)

update3:
Google is your friend. FYI, hints are in random order. Maybe you have already passed this one. :-)
There's another President of South Africa. Don't ask me why.

update4:
Have no idea about the string you got? It's part of an url.(for beginner only)

update5:
You think I'm talking about Nelson Mandela? No, that poor old man was in prison for years, he's not FREE.

update6:
Some of the comments are useful.
You get something doesn't belong to the string? Are you serious, Hector?

update7:
There's a connection between everything, do you notice the special one different from others?
Goo gle is your friend, ALWAYS.
Brute forcing and background knowledge are not necessary for my puzzle. If you have to guess something, I'm sure you have already missed some crucial things before.

update8:
This

update9:
Zodiac(not exactly, but similar)

update10:
Another big hint! Where? You need to find out. (Hinception: Links on this thread are useful.)

update11:
If you get trolled, you should go back and try another way.
Totally random errors means stop.

update12:
Hint added. Do you notice that? (One guy already found it, it's another Hinception.)

update13:
Finish part one? Then you have to check the links on this thread AGAIN. Find something weird? You're probably on the right way.

update14:
Read my first SG giveaway may help you a little.
Google is human's friend, but most people don't trust him. What a pity!

update15:
Hector used to be an airborne man, but now he's a barber.

update16:
If you still stuck on Q4, Google is a cake. Read update 3&5 and think again.

Final result: 1,237 players, 7 solvers. Congrats to the adventurers who solved it!

This sucks horribly, I'm totally clueless on i guess it's the 4th step (The one after I figured out the answers to those 5 images). I don't think I'm going to get this because I don't know where to even start.

"Who's the hero of the developer's country in UEFA Euro 2012?" Country. Singular.

The actual tournament has two hosts, Poland and Ukraine.

The only video game bearing the "UEFA Euro 2012" name is a DLC made by EA Canada.

An earlier post in this topic states that Canada is in no way a part of the correct answer.

...What the hell?

Edit: Disregard this, I was thinking too hard. This does not bode well...

further editing: OP, mind dropping me a line somehow? I have a rather specific question to ask you, and I can't join group chat as it's closed to anyone who isn't in the group.

I think its safe to say the English isn't max's first language, if Max wants I'll rewrite the question to be more clear in better english terms, but just think what the question might be asking.

1 decade ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

That question is perfectly fine and means exactly what it means. If someone doesn't understand the question, it's their fault for reading it wrong, not Max's fault for writing it wrong.

1 decade ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Not saying its Max's fault at all, I answered it fine, but that was because I knew Max wasn't English so I looked a little past the language barrier to what the question may mean. You might find it ok because words have different meanings across the language barrier, developer's country to me is a garbage phrase, but I can see why it means what it does by looking deeper.

1 decade ago

See the problem is exactly that you do not understand the question. You think there is some language barrier thing, but there isn't. It is correct English you are just missing the point.

EDIT: That being said, I also understand where the confusion is coming from. I don't want to give away exactly what the question is asking and yes it could be worded bit differently to avoid the confusion, but I stand by the wording of it. You really don't understand the question. If the questions were about movies, and you'd had "director's country" instead of "developer's country".. would that still be bad English to you?

Take it easy, I'm not a native English speaker, but I think t1q3 is not a big problem(400 solvers). And I found this. lol

Oh gawd. I won Metro 2033 on another giveaway by now, and I'm like 90% or more done with this puzzle T_T Will probably try to solve it anyway till the end, even if the nice bait no longer works. Still, the last step is dang hard. And I wonder do I have to repeat the whole puzzle for hintception, cause I didn't exactly keep all my notes O_o

Depending which part. By now I'm 100% done and I wouldn't say I found it easy, at least the last part. Although the way I played with the stuff, I had the final solution pretty much in front of my eyes for some time before the last thing clicked and I realized I pretty much solved it already.

There's an incredibly obvious method of getting the correct answers for all of the images, though you might have to do a bit of prep work first.

Pro tip: Google is never completely wrong. It can, however, be only partially right.
