Puzzle giveaway - solution posted

Closed

The game I'm giving away is a personal favourite of mine, and I got an extra copy of it in the HIB 11 (BTA), so I want to share the fun!

Giveaway ends 03:00 CET (GMT+01), CV $0.01.

Puzzle. No hints, should be very easy if you know how to internet.

Oh, and this should go without saying, but please don't share answers or the giveaway link.

edit: it seems some of you are having trouble with the names. I accept several variations on the same artist's name in every question, but if nothing works, try just their surname.

edit #2: Q6 has several possible answers, all meaning roughly the same thing, all one word. If you can't find the common link besides the obvious, look into the history of any two paintings.

Solution. Sorry to everyone who didn't get it eventually! Better luck next time :)

I searched the pain in question 4 and put the right name and it's wrong :(

Try just the artist's surname. There are multiple variations for most answers (hyphen, no hyphen, middle name, no middle name, etc.), but all of them accept just the surname of the artist. And it is certainly spelled right, I just checked.

The only help I can give for Q6 is in the puzzle's description, sorry! I hope you figure it out :)

Dang, I'm sorry to hear that. I tend to promise "no hints" but give in after a while if enough people can't solve my puzzles, so check back in an hour if you're still here, I might post something about it :)

Try surname only for Q5. (edit: I mean the name of the painter in-universe, not what work or universe it is from, or who's the author!)

I can't solve the last two questions.
I'm searching about the Q5 but I didn't find the answer, and I can't solve the Q6, I tried a lot of words and all are wrong.
Please, any hint?

Q5's answer should be on the first page of the Google results if you look up the title. I can't really give any more hints for Q6 without spoiling it too much, I think, sorry. There's some help regarding the answer's format in the puzzle description.

Thanks for the puzzle though, I enjoyed this one a lot. :P

Aww, that's a real shame, I'm sorry! Can I compensate you with a key for FEZ?

(edit: this is an offer for TimidTofu only right now. If they don't accept it, I might give it out later, but don't beg if Tofu doesn't reply)

O-Oh? That's a really nice gesture. Sure, I'll take you up on that offer, but I feel greedy saying yes. :x

It wasn't actually that hard before. I just didn't understand the question correctly.
