wonderful puzzles and WONDERFUL GAMES! Thank you so much for both<33

Awesome puzzle!! I've already solved questions 1-4, but it looks like 5 and 6 are going to take some time. Luckily there's still time to solve this. I could try to bruteforce my way through question 6, but I want to try to solve it using logic first. I really enjoy these kind of puzzles that really force you to think and use logic, they make me feel I'm smart :).

Strangely enough I'm struggling more with supposedly simple questions like the first two than with the others, which i already solved.
Can i at least ask if decimal numbers are written with the comma (i.e. 3,02) or with the point (3.02) and if the dollar sign is required/accepted?
Having to check any tentative answer in multiple formats can be a bit annoying and time consuming.

Bump for solved! Rating: A
As for the cheaters, making it harder isn't going to stop them. If instead you make your giveaways group-sponsored, the cheaters can be kicked out of the group. Then you know they aren't going to enter. The drawback is of course fewer players.
Speaking of groups, there is one specifically for puzzles.

It's fine. I have ideas in the planning stages at the moment that will drastically lower the amount of entries in theory but at the same time, gives a better chance to those who can solve (maybe even one entry only? :D). I dislike having giveaways limited to one group - feels elitist to me. That and partially because I'm not very sociable to begin with, heh.

This is a 'puzzle' to obtain the URL for the 'private' giveaway made on SteamGifts!
Please do not share hints or answers. Consider also that the more entries there are, the lower your chances of winning the prize. :P
All answers are a single word or number or format.
Good luck!
Deadline: ~1 hour
Current Entries: 87 (Suspected Remaining Cheater Entries: 10 - strongly suspected, if not more)
(Future puzzles will be harder!)
=====
If anyone is wondering why I am monitoring this puzzle solving giveaway so closely for suspected cheaters is to protect those who solved it fairly and honourably. I am also doing this to gauge how difficult I need to make a future puzzle giveaway or whether it is worthwhile to make another at all.

[Archived Notes of Suspected Cheaters - Moved to personal storage, including screenshots of websites and profiles]
What is however interesting to note is where the majority of the suspects originate from, globally. When will people learn that when you have 2+ friends (other than yourself) that happen to solve a puzzle nearly simultaneously where hundreds of other people have been unable to solve on their own, it makes you stand-out a lot. The chances of it happening are very low.
Isn't it sad that >10% are suspected cheaters? Statistical analysis is useful and depressing at times.
