Answer

The giveaway is over there were 39 Entries and the answer was: 9GzSH

Explanation of the hints

  • Look at your keyboard: to notice your numpad
  • Think like a turtle: a reference to the Logo programming language
  • Each line represent a character (letter or number)
  • Seymour Papert: an inventor of the Logo programming language

To solve it you had to look at your keyboard and notice the number on your numeric keypad, then you only need to follow the direction to draw a character:

  • 5 = Start
  • 6 = Right
  • 4 = Left
  • 8 = Up
  • 2 = Down
  • 3 = Right+Down

Next puzzle will be easier ;)

I see a pattern, but I fear I might be overthinking this whole thing. I'm typing crap on notepad, feeling like a mad scientist...

The answer is none, ducks don't have teeth. Except that lame red duck in the park, but we don't talk about it.

I feel like since every country has different keyboard layouts this could affect your puzzle.

Is "think like a turtle" an English phrase I don't understand? :/
And by character do you mean a letter or a character like one in a book/movie/game?

And what about the turtle thing? Is it a phrase or? I'm Croatian, that one confuses me the most since I don't know what that means.
