Reason I said that is that I assume it relies on colours (I'm almost completely colourblind) - though if that's not the case I'll put try and have some fun. That link will always be handy to others at any rate so worst case scenario I indirectly contributed. :P

Bump and meow for 6 10 out of 10 solved (except for the bonus)!

Congrats! Woohoo! I'm so tempted to give a hint for bonus but I will hold back... And glad to know that the puzzle train is correct as you cracked it... Bet you learned a few new things too in the process ... Thanks for completing it!

Can you go to GA 6 of 6 and post so I have it verified you made it there... Then I'll add to leaderboard... Thanks!
Comment has been collapsed.
BTW did you get the hint for the bonus puzzle? IT is really helpful!
Comment has been collapsed.
Ok here's a hint-- pay attention to format of prompts in first puzzle and compare to format of Bonus Puzzle's prompt...
Comment has been collapsed.
Mhm. Is the fact that the bonus puzzle prompt has two new words (the same word repeated) at the end matter? This word was not in the first puzzle.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks. I had already noticed that, which led me to an obvious answer... which doesn't work. :-(
I must be missing something equally obvious!

I know sorry - I'm on the road with work and not much spare time. Although I'm just using up a few points on the Train of Madness. Very obfuscating! ;-)

Will try this later on. At the moment, have a flower:

Well I solved the puzzle (some time ago, forgot to bump, sry) but don't get the solution. It's rather obvious what to do but ... Maybe I'm using a wrong english word?

Looking for a word that could be a theme of the puzzle.

Seems I missed last week's puzzle. Too lazy to unpaint the flowers, ugh, need to unlazy...

Wondered where you were last week... It was fun! But missed you...

Hi this is the first time doing this. I am just wondering if I solve the puzzle how do I enter the giveaway O.O? Thanks><
Comment has been collapsed.
If you solve the puzzle then you should get a clue or puzzle that gives you what you need to know to figure out the GA link address... Then you put in the GA link address in browser and hopefully if you solved it correctly then the GA will come up...
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh thanks!! Is the GA link address always under a games name or just the clue? Because I am a bit confused xD
Comment has been collapsed.
GA link doesn't need game name to access... Only need 5 characters of letters or numbers... Letters are case sensitive.

Check out this guide... It has all you need to know...

Alright. Thanks for the guide I am going to read a bit now:) last question: so the link will be something similar to http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/puzzlecode ?
THanks xD
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes... But this puzzle is a puzzle to a puzzle where you must first solve to get a link to itstoohard website puzzle, then solve that and get a GA code...
Comment has been collapsed.
wow sounds very challenging! Guess it will take me a while xD

Add me on Steam as friend and Ill talk you thru it if you like! ;)

I cracked it today already! 5 questions left! It's more like a language challenge for me xD
Comment has been collapsed.
AWESOME! Still if you get too stuck then add me on Steam to chat-- I dont want people to get frustrated-- especially if it is language related.

Thanks for the kindness Jeff:) I will have a try on the other questions in the next few days xD

Yeah Q10 feels impossible.. I've tried so many terms.
Comment has been collapsed.
One word that is the grammatical term to describe all the words in the puzzle
Comment has been collapsed.
Well I don't mind if you want to finish the puzzles...as long as it stays with us and not leaked to people who aren't even trying to solve the puzzles...
Comment has been collapsed.

I have been looking at this for a while, and am new to these. I dont get what I am trying to look for. When the GA is over would you be willing to explain it to me?

This puzzle points to a puzzle on itstoohard so beginning of link is http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/????????
Use the flowers and pictures to get a combination of 8 letters and numbers to put where the 8 question marks are... this will bring you to the puzzle to solve to then bring you into the GAs.
Comment has been collapsed.
Seems it's the end for me. I solved the ITH but haven't got a clue what the second plant is and with 2 possible names for the 4th one I don't want to risk bruteforcing it. Thanks for the puzzle and have a bump.
Comment has been collapsed.
Reverse search the full image to get the answer for the 4th one... and note these images I posted to help mandrill
Comment has been collapsed.
Clueless about the second image. The first one was easy.
Comment has been collapsed.
Do you mean images in the flowers... or images as a result of completing the ITH? If it's the ITH picture then note the hints I dropped to mandrill on this thread...
Comment has been collapsed.
Lost my progress, darn, uhm, guess I could dig through my messages... :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Hallo - i have no idea what to do with the images?
It would be kind when you could solve it after it has finished - so i could learn how to find solution

So far, that title belongs to Caractacus, Nfreak, ahoym8 mandrill!, mercury529, perrojilo and chour! Congrats!
SOLUTION:
THE Images below of flowers can be reverse searched to find their NAMEs as following:
Rubeckia, Chrysanthemum, Matthiola, and Nenesia
and the second image deduced as:
US 6 and 8 (the United States map) and flowerpot with 6 flowers and flowerpot with 8 flowers... this gives you:
RCMNUS68 when added to the Itstoohard link takes you to the ITH found here:
http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/RCMNUs68
And the answers for the ITH are here: (note --on a mat a peeing-- should make a mental link to onomatopoeia)
http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/RCMNUs68/HFwWYnpf
The results of ITH give you a picture of an ORANGE, VINE, ORANGE, NECTARINE, and strawberries...
there was large X's on the first 3 then a small x on the nectarine and no x on strawberries indicating uppercases O V O, lowercase n and number instead of letter for strawberries (8) as there was no x on it.....
Result: OVOn8
This brought you to: http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/OVOn8/the-path
Between each ga was a picture that when deciphered brought you to the next ga
The pictures to decipher were easy until you get to the bonus puzzle-- initially you might think you are to answer several bird names for each bird sound that is different however, there is only the first letter capitalized showing we are really only wanting ONE bird that can make all the sounds... such as a parrot or lyrebird or mockingbird...
Here is the puzzle: http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/5j7SOxI9
And solution: http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/5j7SOxI9/rbN6Vzh0
The BONUS BONUS was solved by 7 people and I'm withholding the answer/solution to give others a chance to crack it!
Thanks for solving and try to crack the easy one for this week!
