6, I mean 5 is a Magic number here on steamgifts. The giveaway code size is five characters. Whenever I see a puzzle thread I look for 5 of anything, in text or in an image. If I don't see five, then I know it will lead to Zilch! Sometimes it is a bold letter, sometimes it's punctuation, or it can be related to sizes of a word. (Zero chance of a storm on the horizon, and no quiz.....) In this case, this paragraph has only five five-letter-words. :P

9 times out of 10 I enjoy the puzzles I find here. (chances are it is too hard tho). They make me feel like a wall without a brick.....

88 times out of 100 I enjoy the comments I see here. People are funny and it's fun to hear about people's interests. It makes me want to go canoeing (kayaking? idk the difference) I haven't been since 2016..... I think.

I don't know why people think I don't like quizzes. (Questions can be tricky to answer.) I mean I don't love quizzes but I don't H.....ate them either. Anyway let's talk about video games!

zero escape is a great horror visual novel series. (my favorite game in the trilogy is the first one, 999. which upside down is sixsixsix..... eek!)


Okay, the puzzle is over and doesn't include this paragraph. There are 5 giveaways here, and each of those 5 may contain 1 or 2 more in a train or puzzle, depending on how much effort I decide to put into them. :P Good luck!

-Did you know that you can un-vote on a poll to see the original order of the options? That's pretty neat!

Edit: First 5 solutions:
1 - first character of the 5 5-letter-words in the first paragraph - MiZss
2 - first characters of the 5 paragraphs - 698Iz
3 - first character of each of the 5 parenthetical statement - ZckQm
4 - letter right before each set of 5 ellipses - zk6Hx
5 - first character of each of the 5 poll options (in original order) - tzJLI

Found 3/5, but not completely. Unable to catch the train in one of them.

Glad to see more puzzles here, however. :)

A bit there made me curious. Difference between a canoe and kayak? Are they boats?
A kayak has a double bladed paddle while a canoe has a single bladed paddle. A kayak has the top covered, leaving only a small space for someone to sit in, often with one of several methods to not allow water to enter the kayak and designed for white waters; canoes are (almost) completely open on the upper side. Some canoes might have a small part covered in the bow, triangle-shaped, or a box in the stern. In both kayaks and canoes you face the direction you're moving when rowing. Neither kayaks nor canoes have places to sit the middle of the paddles and row backwards to the moving direction (those are boats!)

There are more differences, but that's enough.

I honestly didn't know the difference, so thank you for teaching me! :D What they actually are doesn't really matter, it's more about I just needed a word that began with k. ;)

I just read the main post and felt the exact same way.
I'm too stupid to figure it out and too lazy to spend hours racking my brain.

Oh it's fine, sometimes my brain clicks with puzzles, sometimes not. It's not on you. It's the way my brain works.
Thanks for the train and for taking the time to let me know about the new one. Very much appreciated :)
