just gonna delete it and make a public GA instead (people have tried telling me its wrong but i promise i have checked it that many times as i was worried that it might be the case to begin with, who knows, it could still be and i just happened to be missing something stupid which i overlooked), sorry to those who wasted their time with it here is my spare keys for desura:

ECKZP-W5O28-V32JL-66S30-AI5CO

.... if that is your end calculation i'd suggest removing it as that is a hint and I stated above there is only 1 hint

thankyou :)

I too arrived at his number earlier, but I think its a wrong direction.

But my other/different approach isn't going anywhere either :D

If there are no entries in a week's time, i may reveal it before the entry cut-off point passes... only maybe though...

Just one question, because I think I know how the last code should look like:

Might there be 2 answers for each part which you haven't thought about, but we need to know which of the two possibilites is the correct one?

2 answers for each part? any of the codes involving only 0's and 1's are binary, the others are hexadecimal, beyond that there is only one possible solution based on the given information and you have to think slightly outside the box to determine that solution

Are there any accented words in the answer?

I guess no, because if you think about what should be there at the end you would know there aren't any.

I guess I'll hand one other piece of information out since people may be confused... this does not link to any other sites like itstoohard or similar quiz sites... the solution to the calculation will give you the direct letters and numbers required for the link to the GiveAway in the correct order. you simply just have to test whether they are upper or lower case (if it is case sensitive, i am not sure)

Yes thats what I was talking about with the 2 possibilities with the lower or upper case which DOES matter for the giveaway link and trying it out creates a lot of possibilities if you aren't that shure on some of those 5

you have to test 24 times maximum at current, assuming it takes you all 24 tries to get it correct... the reason i have not stated which are which is because it makes it easier to cross reference someone's answer as i would have stated the amount of numbers, the amount of upper case letters and the amount of lower case letters as well as their order

Used binary converter, but it kept saying invalid binary coz indivisible by 8....mind-F*** much????!!!!

thats ironic cos 8 is a binary divisible (2^3 = 8 = 4th column from right)

IDK, that's what the calculator told me. It just keeps saying it's Indivisible by 8

I think that the converter is trying to work using bytes, which are groups of 8 bits. You might want to try another converter

I used another converter, but still do not know how to arrive at the final answer :( moar hintz

This thing is hoodwinked! I may solve it if I find the box to think outside (too many boxes).

i know and use binary and hexadecimal regularly (even ascii, which people on the internet often call binary), but i'm not coming up with the outside the box part.

lol i hope people don't call it ASCII... ASCII is a text language which has no formatting ^^

i’m talking about when people say something like “check out this secret message in binary code: 0100100001101001” but if you only use binary to interpret that and not ascii it’s just 18537
