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.

"What you get on your paper when you fail on an exam. "
So the entire world uses the same grading system for exams? Ok.

It depends on his way of thinking too.. Since its a 1 letter/number answer per question right?
It can be Red Colour mark (r), 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, Fail (f), Better luck next time (b), etc etc etc etc etc..
Infinite possibilities.. It can even be a GG (g) from a troll teacher =(

I have never actually seen any of my exams. We have to wait a few years then buy them should we ever want to actually see them again.

The OP lives in Canada, at least according to their Steam-profile. So that narrows it down a bit. ... Too bad Canada still has different regions that use different grading systems... It could be anything of D, F, I, R, or why not 0.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say this has zero entries yet. This isn't a puzzle, its a guessing game. You might as well ask "pick a number between 1 and 10,000."

Thanks for your generosity though.

If in 3 days only 2 people solve it, I'm not even gonna try. I'm smart - smart enough to know I'm not smartest :p

There was one fault in this reasoning, though: the original set of questions without hints was much too vague. For me the third hint proved to be almost too helpful. So sure, I couldn't solve the original from the get go, but once the third hint was up I got the answer relatively quickly.

Seeing as I'm new to these giveaways and such, what purpose does not showing the link format serve? I was under the impression that it would be steamgifts.com/giveaway/12345 if it belonged to this site?

People would spam letters/numbers instead of trying to find the answers, since some of the questions are too easy.

Do 2 and 4 have anything to do with God and Jesus or did you name them like that because they are the same?

But ... numbers, lowercase, uppercase ...

PS: Achilles, God and Jesus dont is the same.
God = Father.
Jesus = Son

And assuming that everyone uses a single set of scores on tests ... Not so, would it be?

1, 3 and 5 seemed obvious, then i just did all 26 letters and 10 numbers for 2 and 4 and it still didn't work.

They must have weird grades in Canada or something.

MoneyHypeMike.
First of all thank you for being generous.
I appreciate all the giveaways you're making but I think this puzzle is rather problematic (Unless I'm missing something obvious about the hints).

Unless I'm missing some key logic, I believe your hints are too vague and unclear.
In addition to not providing a link format, this is practicly unsolvable.
I don't think there is really a way to solve this by logic / search.

If in 3 days, only 2 people managed to solve it (And I assume atleast 100 or 200 tried, considering the prize is skyrim) that means its just a wild guessing game.

I've made a few puzzles in the past. And learned that no matter how obvious things may seem to the one making the puzzle. Its not as obvious to other people. I once thought I made a super easy puzzle, and turns out it was quite challenging that took some people hours to solve, even with extra hints.

Ofcourse its your right to do anything you want with your puzzle, its just a bit frustrating its so vague.
Unless ofcourse, I'm missing something obvious, and in that case ignore my remark

Cheers

Too vague. There is no logic, just guessing what the OP might be thinking. "What you get on your paper when you fail on an exam.", different countries different systems. eg in Poland you get a 1, in Ireland you get NG or E, in some you get a 0%. And the God and Jesus bit. Random guessing.
I knew this would be hard because the reward is Skyrim, and I'm grateful for the opportunity but it seems impossible to "solve" without knowing how MoneyHype thinks.
And to the people saying that every link should have capitals, that's not true.

Not too vague really. Yeah different countries have different systems for number 2, but you will get it if you know what the past hint was.

Also, I think it would be really tricky, that's why probably only 1 person has solved it :P

I can only think of one. 1-3-5 I was able ot solve almost instantly (unless I'm completely mistaken)

I can't figure out 2-4, plus the upper/lower cases if any.
