Three games giveaway for Eastern Easter.
No level restrictions.
You are welcome.
All giveaways end at the same time.
Hints will be provided at some point.
http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/9VY4S/

Hint 1: There are no puzzle or giveaway trains here. You don't need to solve one puzzle to get to another.
Hint 2: You are most likely to be looking at more than a million of them, but you need only 292149 to get to a giveaway.
Hint 3: There are so many ways to hide a meassage. Picking a particular one is definitely not a binary choice.
Hint 4: If you want to throw over the government, make sure people support you. Make your name sound like you are a majority.
Hint 5: Is your knight trustworthy? What about the person next to him?
Hint 6: My Internal Theology Rules Employ Progressive Ontological Reality Transgression.
Hint 7: 1 is 3 and 3 are 1, but there are 24 underneath.
Hint 8: The first seven will entertain you, but the smallest one will be the prized one.
Hint 9: It is impolite to claim yourself worthy of something on your own, but sometimes people will gladly do it for you.

Bump for not a single person telling me there is a misprint in Q4 (a stupid one, but I don't know, where it might have led people).
Fixed.

I actually got the solution to hint 4! Unfortunately, I'm too wiped out to figure out the rest T_T.

Take your time, hurry up
Choice is yours, don't be late
Take a rest as a friend
As an old memoria.

That last hint just confirms an idea I already had... :\
The smallest I already noticed...it's the rest I just can't seem to find...

Was that a hint? ;) Or "just" honest concern? :)

I was thinking of posting a sort of a hint, but thought it might be misleading, so I just hope you are on a correct path and will make it through.

It makes me slightly sad, that people, who get through can't enter the giveaway, as they already have the game.

Переводить вопросы с английского и потом их понимать - сложновато. Завис на четвертом вопросе, про пятый даже не знаю что думать.

Поздний "Христос Воскрес!", однако =)

Po-tah-to-bump.

Была идея продублировать на русском, но как-то не сложилось, к сожалению.
К этим двум вопросам есть подсказки, к некоторым даже несколько.

Воистину Воскрес.

Мне бы еще понять, какая подсказка к какому вопросу :D

Ну, это было бы уже слишком просто, по-моему.

Ну без хорошего понимания английского очень сложно ответить на пятый. Я могу перевести подсказки, но понять что именно я должен после них гуглить уже не в моих силах :D

Bump for solutions:
Ffirst puzzle, the quiz:
Q1: Very simple. No hints. Google provides an answer straight away.
Q2: The political party had to be named. Related to hint #4. The answer is "The bolsheviks"
Q3: Also simple. No hints. Googling also provides an answer.
Q4: Look up MIT report on Science and Religion (therefore, hint # 6). The answer is 0%. Another representation of the same data shows no conflicts or possible conflicts in the Orthodox part.
Q5: And the answer is axios, whi is an acclamation of worthiness mostly associated with bishops ordination (therefore hints #5 and #9).

Second puzzle, the image.
Hints related:
Hint #2 - 292149 is the number of pixels in the image.
Hint #3 - the numbers comprising the pixel values have to be transformed to binary numbers for each channel.
Hint #7 - this will result in 24 values from each pixel (3 channels, 8 bit each).
Hint #8 - construcing an image of the last bit of each channel gives you 3 parts of the giveaway link.

Due to all solvers of the second puzzle already owning the game the unclaimed key goes to a fast public giveaway with a level 1 limit.

For what is worth, I think classifying "bolsheviks" as a movement was a bit off-course throwing, although I did try them with "B" (no "the") but it didn't work.
Than Kiou for making it a public giveaway..

This is strange, the accepted answers were (vopy and paste from ITH):
the bolshevik movement
bolshevik movement
bolsheviks
bolshevists
bolsheviki
большевики
bolshevism
большевизм

AFAIK the ITH puzzles are case insensitive

I think you're talking about the url which most definitely is. I'm not so sure about the actual puzzle answers..

I've just checked the capitalized answer - it worked fine.
