I think (hope) no one is mad and bored enough to solve it now since you already said that you'll reveal more characters in 4 days. You have to be pretty desperate if you try up to 720 combinations for a bundle game when you could get it on Steamtrades for 5-10 cards, doing that without any need is insane.
Still thanks for the ga of course!

The general consensus is "not worth it" right? ;)
so I'm going to try a "social experiment" and see if people bite...I have 2 "crappy"* bundle game keys to giveaway so I decided to make a ridiculous bruteforcing challenge to be able to access the giveaways
One is for Battlepaths and the other is for Thomas Was Alone - both giveaways start on 06/06/2014 at 12:00 GMT and end exactly a week later, 13/06/2014 at 12:00 GMT, both giveaways require $30.01 CV
So what's the bruteforcing challenge? Well, I've completely scrambled up the SteamGifts giveaway codes for those 2 giveaways and joined them up into a humongous string:

My original goal was to make people bruteforce this long string and then drop one of the correct characters every day, but after realising that there were 10! (= 3,628,800) total combinations I threw out that plan.
Instead, 2 of the characters (bolded) from each giveaway are in the correct position, so you have only 6! (= 720) total combinations (minus the first one :P) to sift through, which in my opinion is a lot more manageable ;)
But if you folks think otherwise, then don't worry, after 4 days I'll reveal more correct characters (1 for each giveaway) so the number of possible combinations to check drops to 4! (= 24), which would be stupendously easier than before :P
Anyway, godspeed, and good luck bruteforcing :P
*As always, "Crappy" is subjective - some people may like these games even though they've been in bundles, others won't
==================================================================
Argh! I was completely engrossed in other stuff and almost forgot about this! There's now just over 24 hours for these giveaways so here, you guys will only need 14 tries at the most (not 24!), lol

Thanks for all the feedback and suggestions (and laughs too :') ) I'll take some of those ideas into account when giving something special away!
