I am back EDIT: solution added for those who are interested

Well guys, its been a while (7 months, to be correct) since i was here for the last time.

Some of you may remember my SG-Killer series.
And some will also know, that i never finished it.

And this is why:
Only days after the 3rd part had ended, i lost my job.
so far so good, you think. Whats the problem?
Well I and my girlfriend wanted to become parents at that time, and like in a bad
movie, on the day i come home home from work and want to tell the news, she waits for me
and says shes pregnant.
Well, on the one side i was (and still am) the luckiest man on this planet.
On the other side, i got to work my ass off, at trial works and after that at home, preparing
our apartment for the new family member.
And sadly, there wasn't any more freetime i could have spend on this awesome forum, let be a
new part of the SG-Killer.

Now there is only one week left.
If every thing goes allright, my little daughter will be born into the world next week.
i took myself some days off, first time in the last half year, to be here when it starts.

And thats where i thought of you!

While i'm waiting, i prepared a nice little puzzle for you.
For each of the parts, there is a little reward, but the jackpot is only for thee, who solve all of them.

Here are the links to the questions:

First
Second
Third
Fourth
Fifth
Sixth
Seventh

if you solved all of them, you can enter your answer

here

The las´t thing I want to say now, is that I totally allow you to help each other with the riddles, if you want.
Only thing i don't wanna see here is the exact solution. Hints are welcome, and if I see there are only a few solvers,
i will give some myself.

Thats it, have fun and enjoy the Puzzle.

EDIT: A kind member told me to tell you the GAs are all Level 1+, so if you don't have fun solving the Puzzle
and are not at least level 1, you better leave right now!

1. seems to be the easiest one, so no additional tips here :P

2. normally no software needed
   google the hint if you need to

3. relate the colors and the letters to each other
   paint by numbers

4. you literally can't see the solution in the picture
   the picture is literally possessed
   you may need a none image editing programm, some might even allready have it on their PC

5. we search for two codes
   no space between the two codes
   don't let google fool you! we don't search for a special type of the bird. just the simple name matters.
   google also for the question, not only for the bird (might be language specific)
   click, the solution is found somewhere there
   the answer may be in a PDF is

6. there is only one "tool", as far as i know, that does the job.
   one user came up with a, if you know it, pretty simple solution that doesn't need that tool (he found out how this code is produced)
   isn't to be readed in threes

7. don't count the 3 beffore the comma. count only after it.

8. general tip:
   bruteforcing one or two characters of the final code is possible, only numbers and letters used there

She finally is here.
Well, in fact she is allready 3 days old XD.
But as expected i don't have much time right now.
Going to work, afterwards i drive to the hospital, walking with our dog, blabla.
Its awesome and i spend every tiny bit of my sparetime with her ^^.
But I wanted to give this thread a last bump (only 10 hours left) and tell thos e who wished us luck:
everything is fine, my little Hannah is alive and kicking!!!

Thank you again for all your nice words : )
Oh, and we don't want to exhibit our daughter to the internet that young, so i can't present you a photo, i hope you understand.

For those interested, here are the solutions and the expected way to find the answers:

1. Prolly the easiest one, the answer is
   Birthday
   use this for example.

2. If you didn't get it before, google for the hint should have brought you to Morse, and thats what it is: a morse-code
   listening carefully would have given you the answer:
   Nightmare

3. I have to admit, this one was a bad choice, because colorblinds really can't solve this.
   I wont do any more color-related puzzles in the future!
   However, the solution was to put the letters of the alphabet into the table, first row from a-m, second row from n-z
   then search for the word coded in colors, you get:
   Eyecandy

4. It gets a bit trickier now.
   you had to download the picture and open it with any programm you can open .rar files with, or with notepad.
   if you choose the first way, you get an archive that contains a .txt document, the only text in it says the solution.
   if you chosse the second way, scroll to the bottom of the sheet, there you can see the solution too, because i didn't protect the *.rar with a password.
   the solution is:
   dead people

5. this honestly went horrible wrong. i wasn't aware that there are so many types of this dan goose out there :P
   the, how i have to admit really optimistic, thought solution, was to search the web for 4 and 6 letter codes for birds.
   you then find this document (hopefully), look for the SNOW GOOSE (just simple snowgoose) and take the two codes together without spaces. so, the solution is:
   SNGOCHECAE
   I know it was frustrating and i wil try to not make such puzzles anymore.

6. Two possible soution here.
   First, if you where lucky searching the web, you could have found this, nothing more to say.
   Second, if one says the lower case characters are 0's and the upper case characters are 1's, you could just translate the code using something like this, there are many tools for this out there.
   Solution:
   I am a pirate

7. This was one of the easier to find solutions.
   you just search for a online calc like this, enter 12386 and look for the last Digit thats written there.
   solution:
   3

8. Final
   if you were able to solve one of the puzzles, then i told you a digit of a password. If you got all of them and entered em you got to a little train and the big prize of the event. SHADOW OF MORDOR
   solution was:
   A8PS97Q
   also, some just bruteforced one or two letters.

and if have read this and think: "hm, and now?"
enter this one, it only lasts one day!
