Amusing views from space [+puzzle solution]

I am personally impressed by this. Do you know any other interesting places to view?

So, the prize has been won, and I can reveal what's going on here :)
As many of you know, there's big chance of hidden giveaway or puzzle on the forums. The chance is huge if OP is talking about abstract topics :) So I always check topicstarter's profile to be fully aware if there's something hidden.
Watchful people should've seen private GA in my profile and apparently found out that there's the link to itstoohard quiz in original post. Yes, there, under the dot :)

Find the words

Oh, you're an observant person ;)
Let's test your observancy a little more.

I think such presentation is somewhat neater.

By entering the quiz you are overwhelmed by the bunch of random symbols, and five questions without.. hm, questions. Trying to sort out things you'll notice that there's english alphabet on the top row preceded by three sharp signs ###, and first three columns are solely numbers.. But sooner or later you will notice the title, saying "Find the words".
Someone could find the words quickly just by reading the mess, others apparently waited for hints. But one way or another they've discovered 'hidden' words :)

113.JhlansWers51.021xshjBhaa4 Hint: plural noun.
511-658.9Ae.B.NLie-114.172w4s Hint: verb.
151Gaic/On-18.529Ce83wZ4jJGZy Hint: preposition.
137nQZJF85hb4=tHe-70.249z87dX Hint: definite article.
1254XtQRmmmsUrface.jbO3iYLlLe Hint: singular noun.

You can enter words with capital letters or without them - itstoohard is case-insensitive, so you don't need them here. Solved quiz gives you the link to the prize! (which of course not available anymore, sorry)

Truly answers often lie on the surface right under our feet.
Your observancy is good, so you can claim your chance.

Part II
I don't know why but there is only one person who has solved the second part of the puzzle.
There were only 4 guys who tried to solve second quiz before I revealed the solution to first part, and 9 after first solution posted though I hinted heavily to search the hidden link. Yes, there, under the dot..

From point A to point B...

So you've seen the pattern :) And are ready to find out some more goods.
This quiz will help you only if you realize where to look for answers lying on the surface. It won't draw you the way on the map, you must find it yourself.
I don't want you to waste your time. You actually don't need this quiz! It's just some sort of a checklist.

133T could be an answer, but it doesn't exist! 115G is another example, it could be right, but it's not linked to our previous experience. Right answers are right coordinates on the map.

The hint pointed out that answers must be in format (3-digit number)(letter). Quick glance at table with random mess shows you that there's no row with number 133 (as hint stated) and there are capital G in row numbered 115. Oh, and that capital G belongs to another word in the mess: Go! But that word weren't among the right answers in first part of the puzzle, so "it's not linked to our previous experience".
But what linked to our previous experience?
Other words, of course: ansWers Lie On tHe sUrface. We just need to take row number and capital letter, and get the answers of second quiz: 113W, 511L, 151O, 137H, 125U.
What does the hint say next? Right answers are right coordinates on the map. We can try to treat the same table as a map ! If you look at row 113 and column W, you'll find the 'h' letter. Same way you can find all the 5 letters which (as you must've realized already) combines in the giveaway link: hNChi. Yay!

Now to that fault of mine :(
I think there could be some problems while solving the puzzle because of the way I created it. I started with numbers on the Earth's surface.
Someone could notice the consecutive numbers in the table: 51.021, -114.172, -18.529, -70.249. They're in fact are coordinates for two places in google maps: here and here. I've put the hint for that in the thread. As you can see there are 5 numbers: 113, 51, 151, 137, and 125. Then I come to idea with coordinates in the table, added more rows, and trying to make the second coordinate I decided to make it with letters. But that 51 was only two-digit, I just added 1 to it - if player finds the maps, he will just omit it as there's just one row starting with 51. Then I added 'hidden' words with one capital letter each in the same rows to ease the solution. I inserted the googlemaps coordinates just after the words to center players attention on that rows. You basically would circulate around that five rows finding more and more hints (that's why I've put a remark in the thread about walking in circles). While creating the 'checklist' quiz I realized that player can solve the puzzle just by finding the words and quessing that capital letters are the column. So to further ease the task I've put the hint with that (3-digit number)(letter) pattern. But I forgot about the 51! So players who haven't found the numbers in Googlemap (I think very few found them :) could try to enter the 511L, while I put the 51L as right answer. And that could mislead them.
Now I know that fiftykyu was right saying that puzzle must be laid aside for two or three weeks after creation, and then solved by author from scratch, to find the errors and discrepancies.

Some other hints that could lead you to the prize:
It's too hard to hide from Google nowadays.. - oh, itstoohard?
Places like this are also very interesting. There's something vague that can't be seen at quick glance. - hint to simply look at the table without going deep, the words are there lying open among the mess.
Yes, Venice is a truly marvel. And I've found those lakes, they're Kelimutu volcano, you can find it by name or coordinates -8.767 121.813 - pointing out that there's real earth coordinates (they show us the numbers on the surface).
You can enter words with capital letters or without them - itstoohard is case-insensitive, so you don't need them here - you need them in the other place :)
There's also e.g. 151Z, it exists, but is not part of something integral - some huge hint that reveals the logic of right coordinates. While bearing in mind that 133T doesn't exist (), 115G does exist (and we can find capital G on the 115 row as part of the word Go) but not linked to our previous experience, and 151Z does exist (and we see it in the table) but is not part of something integral (Z just lies here amidst the mess), we can realize that we must look for (3-digit number)(one capital letter) chunks that are in the table, moreover are part of something integral such as whole word.

I came to that idea of such puzzle looking at that place (which I also used as one of the hints :) I tried to make something hidden without being hidden.
I was also inspired by fiftykyu's awesome set of puzzles which didn't require any other tools than browser, calculator and notepad.. And your head of course :)

Thanks to all participants, thanks to all solvers, sorry for so well hidden links, sorry for vague explanations, sorry for my not-so-good (or really bad) english.

I would love to hear if I should make another puzzles in the future. Ready for rotten tomatoes :)
