Start by ordering the steps of The Ride:

  1. This step is a multiple of 3, excluding 3 itself.
  2. Near, and very near this step, is step 2.
  3. Yes, this step only has one multiple from 1 to 12, if you exclude itself.
  4. Every time you divide a number by this step, you are separating that number in two equal parts.
  5. Double digits are what this step is made of.
  6. Unless you count 1 and itself, this step is not a multiple of any number from 1 to 12 and does not have any multiples from 1 to 12.
  7. Rotate this step by 180 degrees and it remains the same figure.
  8. Finally this is the last step, of the upper half.
  9. Little, but not very little, is this step when compared to its highest multiple from 1 to 12.
  10. Add -1 to this step and it becomes a single digit.
  11. Let a and b be the only numbers that are not multiples of any number from 1 to 12, excluding 1 and themselves, and do not have any multiples from 1 to 12, where b > a; then this step is b - a.
  12. Of the sum of two equal parts is this step composed.

Then decipher the password of The Ride:

Yeah, me too. :P Sometimes I feel like going back, especially because Steam doesn't allow you to change your account name, so my account name will be revilheart forever and that annoys me a lot, but maybe that's for the best.

I just can't understand the puzzle. If I got the right order of the 12 steps,I would know how to decipher the password?
How? I found no hints in those steps except the order of themselves.

Is 7 really "360" and not 180 ?

It's 180, thanks for noticing the error. Fixed.

Bump for stage #1 solved. I think clue 7 is wrong and clue 11 is not precise enough. Still solvable though :)

After finishing the third check, is there additional puzzle-ing to do? When I click the steamgifts.com/giveaway/uk3dr if just leads me to the steamgifts home page. I'm trying to find out if this is because I haven't finished something or because it's just not working for some reason. Did this happen to you or does the link lead to a giveaway?

That's a helpful answer, thank you. (not sarcasm) Just wanted to make sure it wasn't my browser being stupid.

Just think about it, if that was the real link of the giveaway, why would there be a puzzle? You could simply click it and access the giveaway, right? Here's a hint: you have to use the same logic that you used in one of the checks to correct the link.

Thanks. I haven't used steamgifts much so I wasn't sure if it could lead to a password-protected giveaway. Unfortunately, I'm lost as to how I can correct the link :( I'm most likely thinking about it way too hard xD

OH MY LORD I had the right answer so long ago but I didn't put the / at the end so it didn't recognize the link

7 has been fixed. I don't see how 11 is not precise, maybe you can clarify in the giveaway?

I've finished the third check, but the link you gave to "Finish The Ride" only leads me to the steamgifts homepage. I added you on steam in order to message you (to prove I have the answers) but I have to wait until you accept.

Is the link in the post supposed to work? Am I supposed to modify it in some way with the end result? This is my first puzzle on SG. I thought I'd solved it, but I don't know how to use the result to get to the GA.

Yes, you need to modify the link. If that was the correct link there would be no need for a puzzle, as you could just click it and go to the giveaway.

Thanks. I did figure it out. I am fairly new to SG (I used it one day when I created my account, then only recently returned), so I was wondering if the puzzle would yield a password. I guess SG doesn't do passwords, though.

Thanks again.

Hey Rafael, I passed all 3 checks, completed the key and used it to decipher the link, but it's still invalid :(
I'm obviously missing something, but could you tell me if I'm close or way off ?
