Too vague, too trial-error prone, too frustrating. I'll pass, but bump anyway :P

It looks like this giveaway has ended. If that is correct, would you please post the answers to the puzzle?

Q1: Encrypt the word "railfence" using the Railfence cipher, various possible answers, such as "rfealecin".
Q2: Christmas Tree, Scott's Valley, and 1260 all refer to computer viruses. In Q3's binary there is a clue which reads "hex". By investigating Scott's Valley, you can easily find out that the virus has a hex signature, which is the answer: 5E8BDE909081C63200B912082E
Q3: The opposite of Q1, you have encoded text and must name the code, in this case it is binary.
Q4: The question is only rephrasing the puzzle description (without changing the meaning). However the sentence "There is a prize." at the puzzle's description is not present in Q4. To answer Q4 correctly, you need to rephrase this missing sentence without altering its meaning. one of the accepted answers was "A prize there is".
Now try the new puzzle!

In retrospective, Q2 is actually pretty cool, but Q4 - just nope.

Q4 makes total sense, you just had to realize the thing missing there. People solved it so it wasn't crazy :P

The encryption is also missing in that question (compared to the other ones, so: code, cypher, encryption, whatever you may call it)
