Nikola Tesla's Birthday [Puzzle Giveaway]

Closed
NB264

Who is Tesla?

Anyway... 24 hours, RTS game, usual thingy (no not-a-puzzle this time, sorry).

Solve these 5 questions and you'll get 5 characters. Create an URL that will look like this: http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/xxxxx, where x is the answer from the question with the same number. Simple.

  • 010100000110111101110011011011000110010101100100011011100110101001100001001000000110001101101001011001100111001001100001001000000110011101101111011001000110100101101110011001010010000001110101001000000110101101101111011010100110111101101010001000000111001101100101001000000111000001110010011001010111001101100101011011000110100101101111001000000111010100100000010010110110111101101100011011110111001001100001011001000110111100111111

You'll know when you solve the last one. It's not complicated, you'll see a pattern I'm sure.

No way native English speakers will be able to solve the last one... most of the younger population from listed countries won't know that either.

Yeah I was wrong, there's an fairly easy pattern to see... I was thinking of the problem only as linguistic one, not mathematical. :)

I would not say impossible. Just look at it as a string of some kind, and see if anything looks strange. If number of entries stays below five, I'll post better hint tomorrow.

for all of you: If translation is the biggest problem, add me if I'm online and I'll help with the translation...

I'm usually better than Google Translate.

You think English was bad...it was mostly intelligible but really weird (and one of the meanings was different...I checked googletranslate) trying to read it from a Slovak background...

The caps/not caps thing wasn't my problem. Solve #5 and it should be obvious which are caps/not caps

That was great! Thought I was stuck on #4, but I had it right. Instead I was stuck on #5...

Awesome puzzle, Tesla is a genius (and possibly NB264 as well ;) )

Dude, you can't ask people for help. Have you ever seen a puzzle on SG before? That's against the rules.

It's a rather easy puzzle but I think I'm having problems with the translations. Any other way to contact you except steam? I'm at work and can't install it. Maybe reddit?

Solved it without hints. Thanks NB264 for making this puzzle.
I like puzzles without brute-forcing and mind-reading. All I need is finding necessary clues by myself.

Well I think I solved them all, but still having some trouble with the link. Maybe lost in translation :)
