No capital letter in the giveaway link.
I am not giving you the link format, or it would be too easy.
Might add more tips later this week.

  1. Half of 8
  2. God
  3. What you get on your paper each time you fail a question on an exam.
  4. Jesus
  5. You probably did that three times yesterday (past tense verb).

Good luck people.

1st hint: Answer to number 1 is a LETTER, not a number.
2nd hint: Changed number 3 from ''Fail'' to ''What you get on your paper when you fail on an exam.''
3rd hint: Number 2 and 4 are the same, since God and Jesus form one.
4th hint: Changed number 3 from ''What you get on your paper when you fail on an exam. '' to ''What you get on your paper each time you fail a question on an exam.''

Here are the answers:

  1. Half of 8: s
  2. God: 1
  3. What you get on your paper each time you fail a question on an exam: x
  4. Jesus: 1
  5. You probably did that three times yesterday (past tense verb): (ate) 8

People bitched so much about 2 and 4 that I gave the answer in the hint, but yeah.

is it at least 3 times or exactly 3 times? Don't think there are many things that we do exactly 3 times.

At first I didn't notice the "no capitals" clue so all the ones I tried I need to retry. Doh!

With these hints it doesn't seem likely any of them would work anyway. 2-4 are basically no help at all.

First one "Half of 8". My choices, just for fun.

  1. "4" (the mathematical answer)
  2. "0" (if you physically cut the symbol "8" in half, horizontaly, or "3", if cut vertically)
  3. Half of the letters of the word "eight" (my fail, odd number of letters)
  4. "Jesus", since it's the word beside "4".
  5. Looks like my first guesses were nothing exceptionnal : http://www.sandoth.com/japhyriddle/art/half_of_eight.html

Don't take me seriously, I don't have any idea on how to solve this, I just thought the answer could be something else that "4". Very nice puzzle though, "there is no spoon" style. :)

but this is not a clever puzzle so i cant go and give you credit for making the hardest puzzle because its just a broken one with out any hints for formatting

The solutions may be clever but yes, the hints are far too vague making it an unfairly hard puzzle. Formating is not really the issue, I think.

First of all, despite what I'm about to say, I'd like to thank Mike and everyone who does giveaways. It's their money, and we should be grateful they chose to give us anything at all. So, honestly, and without any trace of sarcasm, thank you. You're the reason this website even exists.

That said, I really wish people would stop calling these "puzzles". They aren't puzzles. A puzzles is supposed to be solvable through the careful analysis of often subtle contextual clues. They are exercises in logical deductive (and less often inductive) reasoning.

Most of the "puzzles" I see on these forums are exercises in moon logic. There's no information to "piece together". There's usually very little or no information at all. The only way to solve these is to accidentally stumble upon whatever arbitrary train of thought the creator decided to use - a la early 90's adventure game: "Use fish on moon to open door". "I'm thinking of a number between one and one hundred. Guess!". It's like piecing together a puzzle when all but one of the pieces are missing... There isn't enough contextual information for people to be able to make a logical deductive or inductive leap, so it's little more than random guessing.

For example, what does one do with "God" ? Are we looking for alternative names? A piece of mythos? A related belief? A word? A sentence? A related number? I mean... Without any further context we're left with no logical alternative than to brute force the answer.

As we established first, though, it's your money and if that is what you're going for, more power to you, no one has any right to complain. Just wish people would stop calling these "puzzles", because they really aren't.

Sorry, old pet peeves of mine. Again, I'm honestly grateful you do these at all.

Exactly my thoughts. Every single word of it. The question has many possible answers, yet we are asked not to spam. Well If I was able to find specific random values, I'd play some lottery, instead of spending my time on puzzles.

I have Skyrim however I still like to try and get to the giveaway to see if I can, but as Caliostro said much better that I ever could these aren't puzzles imo. Anyway thank you for the giveaway Mike, it is still very much appreciated!

Thing about these "puzzles" here is that it is too hard to make a good puzzle. I mean if you get 5 random characters and try to put them in a puzzle, you either make some 5 separate puzzles, which ends up a bad puzzle regardless, or you'd beat the shit out of yourself to connect all 5 and make a single puzzle, otherwise none of them are puzzles since you'll never know if you get the answer for each right or not, if not found them all at once correct.

Not really. I can help you make one if you got something to give away. If you got something good I can make it really hard, and completely logical :)
