I'm sure I know Q2, but it seems I can't get formatting right. Can you at least tell us how many words the answer has?

upd.: get it, agree with vonPreussen - never heard people saying that.

So, solved the Puzzle and got Stuck
the resulting code doesn't match the Pattern for giveaways - nor does any substring combination work -.-

Am I missing something?

I've got the same problem. It's not to another puzzle, not to a giveaway... what gives? It's literally just a sting of characters without any context or even the slightest hint of how to use them. It could literally mean anything.

I really do hate when puzzles go from "doable" to "you need to know exactly what the creator was thinking and if you don't you have no chance." I just don't understand why people do this, I guess. What's the point in a puzzle if it's practically unsolvable due not to incompetence but to lack of information? You might as well just make the question "2" and assume that they will somehow know you're referencing an obscure math equation/joke.

Well, a huge bunch of people got to the solution, without any of my help.

So it's not unsolvable.

I know it's not unsolvable. It's practically unsolvable. Practically as in not by practical means. There's no guidance or indication and for those of us who have never heard of whatever website the post-puzzle thing requires to function there is simply no chance to enter the giveaway. It's not a question of figuring out a puzzle or doing something clever at that point; it's just a question of preexisting knowledge that can't be attained without sifting through every giveaway on the SG forums for the last several months hoping to find one that mentions the alternative website.

It's frustrating, that's all, because there's no reasonable options to get the information required to enter progress through the puzzle. At least none that I'm aware of.

Could you at least post whatever the other website is after the giveaway ends so that anyone else with similarly bad ideas don't stonewall those who are monitoring this thread in the future? :(
