Solved the easy part. i don't know if it is OK to ask things like that, but does capital letters matter? O_O

I got Q4 fairly easy, but I've found myself stuck on Q3 xD From what I can see there are multiple possible answers for Q3.. and I'm not even sure if it has to be in English or yeah.. :p

Edit: Nvm, there is clearly only one, I just need to get the right formatting

Hmmm, stuck at Q3 on the hard(last?) part. I tried a number of combinations there. What is the format of the answer? Like "X and Y" or just "X Y" or so?

X or (Chinese)X

Well, thanks, but I think I give up on this. I tried everything I could find in English, but with no result. Google translate don't help me much with the chinese websites so I can't go any further with this.

Apparently a jerkass puzzle solver/leakee leaked someone else's private giveaway as well as mine and used my username to post links in a random puzzle website's public chatbox. Glad to see that support staff are reasonable. Congratulations on your win, by the way. Your gift will be sent soon.
