I originally made this post in thanks for 300 giveaways entered due to your generosity and in honour of my 300th post. I now have my first giveaway won to add to that. I believe w00t is in order. Now, to solve the puzzle for my third giveaway and my first puzzler!

For those of you not in the know on how to deal with these, you just answer my questions and you type in the first letter or number of the answer into the correct X slot of the website address. If the answer is capitalised (say, a person's name), so is the letter. Get all of the answers right and you get into the giveaway. The game is King's Bounty: Platinum Edition, which is worth 35 points, and it ends in two weeks. Google should be all you need. Good luck!

  1. In the series A Song of Ice and Fire, Tywin Lannister retreats his army to what location after being driven back by the armies of Winterfell?

  2. The opposite of death is? (Clarification: death, not dying)

  3. If you kill the next boss, who will be happy soul?

  4. If you ask for a trade on this site rather than on this one, what sort of prehistorical weapon will you be banned with?

  5. 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 X 0 = ?

If you think I should change something on this to make it simpler (or harder, if you have an idea), then friend me on Steam and I'll talk to you first time I can.

Edit: Answers are here.

AFAIK, the books don't actually mention where he retreats to. And this is the only part I have a problem with.

Nah, they do. There's actually a good amount of A Clash of Kings set there. But no spoilers, I'm only halfway through it. :)

The books do mention and maybe even in the show it is mentioned. Not sure about the show.

He wasn't actually driven back. He won the only battle he commanded, he just chose to go there and weigh his options considering the other threats.

So, a tactical regrouping? Sounds just like what a Lannister would call a retreat! ;)

Also, my bad, I typed "Fire and Ice" for the series name. Fixed now for those uninitiated in the series.

Unless the Aussie edition's been heavily modified, you seem to be misusing the term trilogy. P:

A Dance with Dragons is the fifth one, mate.

...and the Khaleesi is actually called Daenerys... :3

There are, but Secret looks like the only one worth having.
So it's good that you'll be giving it away!
Yay.

I updated the descriptions of 2 and 4 to help ease some problems people have been having with them. This isn't meant to be a difficult puzzle, and all of these questions ARE answerable by Google. You just need to know what to look for.

Aha! Got it!

Number 3 was indeed an odd one, but I can't think how you might make it easier without completely giving it away.

Thanks for the frustration, the fun, and the giveaway.

I would suggest that you do not have the correct answers. The correct answers have no ambiguity as to the capitalisations.

For all those who have solved this, can you go back to the giveaway and leave a comment there? I asked a question in the description about a way to improve on the first clue and I'd appreciate some help in making it easier, but not too easy. The improvement is the part in italics.

The resounding answer is that it's okay as is and fairly simple if you Google the right thing. Thanks, guys.

Since you're asking, I think it is maybe a little too easy.
