I'm trying to come up with something better that is less likely to be tampered with, I'm open to ideas if you have any... otherwise please bear with me...
Edit: new spreadsheet here

hm, I'll have to ban this in the future. Not brutal enough if you can do this...
This time I'll accept it however.

I actually added it into the post, and added in that I'll mark my hints in there to make it easier on everyone. Good on you

Someone messed with your sheet and fucked it up, fyi
Comment has been collapsed.
good idea, I think you should all take sections of it to make it slightly less than impossible.
You're also all lucky. I thought about being truly Satanic and doing 1-1million.乁( ◔ ౪◔)ㄏ

Nah, mate. If you were truly satanic you would use a number that's outside of the boundaries, like 54321.
Also, I think it's a number between 1001 and 9999. Because you'd want us to think it's a big number but you only used 4 digits knowing we'd go for the 5 digit numbers - and setting the boundary as 50000 is ingenious, had you put 100000 we'd be too focused on trying the lower numbers first and call you on your 5 digit bluff. I think you're too paranoid to use a number between 1001 and 2999, 3000-3999 is a bit low too. Nobody likes the number 4, so 4000-4999 is possible, 5000-6999 isn't feeling very likely, but it's definitely not between 7000-7999 or 9000-9999, because 7 is such a nice number and 9 is too close to 5 digits.
According to my rambling reasoning you've picked a number between 4000-4999 or 8000-8999. I would imagine it does contain a 7 somewhere but probably not at the end, and it probably ends with a 3. 8873? Nope. 8373? Nope. 8473? Nope.
1) The answer starts with a 4 or an 8.
2) The answer is 4 digits long.
3) The answer contains a 7.
4) The answer ends with a 3.
Am I close? How many of my assumptions are correct? :)

Stop changing stuff there for a minute, I'll fix it

If it was you who just added 7701 just next to 7700, I have to say 10/10 fix :D but my numbers are still all screwed up so there is still stuff missing :(

Right click on where you are talking about and click get link to this cell and link me to it, I'll take a look.
Tell me exactly what is missing as well
Comment has been collapsed.
I have no clue what its missing, but unless I am very stupid and did the math wrong, the number 10001 should start at the beginning of line 507 not middle.
Comment has been collapsed.
You're right...it wouldn't be missing stuff though. There is extra numbers in there somewhere then. 50000 should also be at the end of line 2506 and it's not, it's halfway through 2507. just means there is some duplicate numbers there somewhere, shouldn't be an issue. I can promise the number that is the answer is on the list
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh yea I am dumb, for some reason I was thinking they were missing instead of duplicated, my bad.

OK, I've taken care of 1 and 50000. You guys can check the rest...

Someone is messing with the spreadsheet, some 1 1 1 1 1 appeared now is everything moved...
Comment has been collapsed.
Now are missing numbers with "2" at the end (202, 222, 242... etc.) and it is moved by one position.

Every cell is now !ref ??? Something happened to sheet? Or is it just me?
Edit : nvm. its normal now

This could only be better if prize is 3 copies of bad rats.

I legitimately considered it but decided to be nice and actually give stuff away

Nah, once it's solved everyone will be able to enter

Alright, I've added some more red to the spread sheet, that's all for tonight. I'll do more tomorrow night or when the hint on the puzzle goes off

Some people are just really stupid.....
And then we wonder why the world is going so wrong :(

Everything ruined, great :( Is there any idiot-proof method? :(
Comment has been collapsed.
There is, but I don't think you'd find it very appealing, it's called "do it all yourself". :(

CONGRATS ON SOLCING IT. Whoever got it, I hope you enjoyed wasting your time
Hey everyone, I've decided to be a complete asshole with a puzzle. Why? Because multiple people remember my brute force puzzles and described them as "painful"
Well. I'm here to put you through hell. To make you want to die by the end of it. It's brute force. And by god, you will hate me before it's over.
So, I've made it a little bit easier, though still impossible.
Firstly, it is a group puzzle. One person finishes it, you all finish it.
Secondly, as the days go on, if no one has finished it yet, I will narrow the numbers down a bit. Some days I may just exclude a little, some I may exclude a lot of numbers. The point is, don't rely on the hints.
Third, the giveaways attached to it will be open for 1 month.
Now, for the fun part.There are 5 games up for grabs, all from the community wishlist, and all ones that are trending upwards. I won't say which games though.
Good luck everyone. Don't hate me too much. hatemebaby
There are rules as well. You must be in good standing and able to pass the most basic sgtools test. Activated all games, no double wins and not vac banned.
As always, don't share the links after the sgtools one please.
And please, trust me, when I say it's impossible, I mean it's impossible. I suggest splitting the numbers into sections. If you want to yell at me for being a dick, please do. Hopefully the prizes are worth it.
enjoy
I wish I could see what everyone guesses so I can see how close people get
EDIT:
Apparently some broke the spreadsheet so I'll add some hints here. It's not 1-1000 or 45000-50000
It is not from 15000-16000
It is not 27109-27234
It is not 23846-24410
It does not end in 0
It is not 17291-17520
It is not 21821-23844
It is not 26011-26150
It is not 33141-33790
**It does not contain a 0 or 2
FINAL HINT, IT CONTAINS A 1
Now that I have access, hints will be added directly to the spreadsheet
There is also a new spreadsheet
It's nice to see everyone working together.
So, it's been pointed out that I should give some sort of idea of the page on the wishlist or something for the games. I'll tell you that all of them had at least 2 upwards trending arrows at the time this was made, none have been bundled before
2 are in the top 100, and some have started trending downward since then but nothing I can do about that. 3 have had less than 100 giveaways made for it
