(Private Giveaway) The hardest puzzle ever

Closed
OGrady

I present to you: The hardest puzzle ever.

No talking in character, no special stuff, no interesting contest, just a puzzle. The private giveaway associated with it ends next week wednesday at 3, meaning you pretty much have exactly one week to solve and enter.

Good luck. You may cooperate, but please do NOT outright share the answers in this thread.

Nice try :p Game != soundtrack. It is actually the most universally loved game on Steam I am giving out. Yeah, the one with the S in front ;)
I hope I didn't lift your spirits sky high only for Newlukoso to dash them on the rim of his joke.

Weird. 2 and 3 sounds very familiar, yet googling doesn't give me anything useful. O.o

Looks like I'm keeping my money for now ;) Anyone actually answer at least one question yet?

I got hitched at Q1.

It seems the only way to know the answers is if you came across the reference in one form or another.

True. And nice touch there, if I may say so ;) I suspect question 1 is the easiest, or among the easiest questions.

I was brought up to know math, not tricks >.< And as for the rest, well 2 seems the only easy one because I know what it's from, but every answer I try is wrong derp.

Those might seem logical to you, but for me, not speaking engrish as first language, those puzzles seem to be grabbed out of blue.

More accurate reason might be that my brain cells start to melt whenever I even look into the direction of your link.

I'm German, so I don't think it's necessarily a language barrier ;)

I made sure that all questions can, in fact, be googled. Not easily googled, mind you, but it's possible from what I wrote. Good luck!

Got Q1 and Q4, think i'm so close to question 5 and might be onto something for 3, but I have absolutely no clue for 2.

Question 5 is answered on first page of the correct google search, though there is a little trick to it.

Well, it's down to Q3 for me (which probably means I know OGrady better than is well and good for my sanity), but I'm not sure which Joshua it is. There are several options that seem resonable.

Oh, this one is actually one of the few I'm reasonably sure about, but I kind of forgot what it was the question was asking (or "asking"). I might want to check it again when I get back home. :-)

I got it now. I had the right idea a while ago but got the wording wrong.

OGrady

I tried to allow as many wordings for similar ideas as I could think of. So and this goes for everyone: If you think you know the answer, but itstoohard won't accept it, add me on Steam and give the answer directly to me. If you're correct, I'll give you a wording itstoohard accepts.

Stuck on Q2 and Q3 as well. Will you be dropping any hints in the coming days? :)

OGrady

Sure, why not. Here's your hint for today: Joshua wants to win. This is obviously related to question 3, which seems to be the most troublesome.

The fact that people don't get that one makes me very sad. I guess to them the game itself is pointless

I got the reference, but didn't know how to word it. Thanks to the hint and a dozen extra tries, only Q2 is left!

After that first question I gave up and labeled the puzzle as retarded.

If you're gonna do a puzzle, at least get your questions right.

I wouldn't say it's retarded, it's just a little misleading. I'm unsure of where these answers come from, so I've already given up. Doesn't make someone else trying, retarded.
