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.

You know, I keep wondering, why there should be past tense verb in the last letter... It should actually not influence the begging of the word, unless it is an irregular verb and still, there is just one word, which should be different on the beginning in the past tense - eat (ate). What do you think about this? And to 2nd a 4th question. "Number 2 and 4 are the same, since God and Jesus form one." - they form faith? Hard to say :-/.

Well I honestly kind of think that at least some people in those "26" entries went brute, 26X36X36X36X36. It might've been done about now if they started on the release time.

Half of 8 using that technique would be o, 3 or ε. An S flipped horizontally on the middle axis can make an 8.

But even that way it's won't be s, it would be something strange... maybe if not the #1 i could have guesed... But who knows, I thoung that #2 and #4 is 3, I'm not relegious man and only know that in religion is something about 3. Maybe if I hadn't been that lazy i would have gused...

I didn't know it was closed. So I solved it, but I was too late, 2 and 4 were thought to be trouble, but after solving it by sticking to the obvious, this puzzle wasn't hard. Although half of 8 was one I brute forced.

  2. God: 1

Nice puzzle. I kept thinking that half of 8 was 'o' and the answer to 3 was F.

the 8 as o thing is what stopped me too, I considered s as more than half so I never used it in my tries. Oh well, it was a good giveaway. Thanks again Mike, it had me coming back to try off and on for a few days. I appreciate it, even though I never got through for an entry.

Man, I loved this puzzle and I spent way too many hours on it. I did in fact figure out everything but the first one… of course I had no way of knowing it back then. Now, having seen the answer, I feel a right little nitwit. :)

S + Ƨ = 8
But yeah that gave me some trouble too, originally I kept thinking o but it simply wasn't working with the other answers.

It's still more of a 3/4 than 1/2 since ur only missing / or \ that way =<

You have a point but I don't think that prevented anyone from trying s as an answer unless they really overthink this.

I don't see how s is half of 8. s is more like 2/3 of 8. Or maybe I'm just bitching.

Remove half of the 8 lines and you get s. ate is pronounced like 8 since ate is way too many letters u gotta pick 8.
Gotta be a little tricky or else it wouldn´t be worth making a puzzle of it ^^

8 as 'ate' is ok (just read the word 'ate'), but half of 8 = s? Still trying to find how can an 's' be half of 8... Maybe someone else can explain this to me. Can't be "Remove half of the 8 lines". (how many lines 8 have then?) Gotta have some logic, not be tricky... All others hints have some logic, except the first one.

And also eat (present tense), ate (past tense) ate=8, just like Left 4 Dead... 4 = for
