Found 10/20 before hints and 0/10 remaining ones after getting hints :P Maybe next time...

I forgot about this one. Came back and tried it again with the hints. Went from 15/20 to 17/20, I got the winter/summer ones with the hints (and I agree with the comments a few others have mentioned about them).
I could probably google a bit for Q7, but I still have no idea for Q1 and Q18, so I think I'll stop here.
In case I change my mind - For how long does the giveaway last?

I didn't know 15 out of 1388 was your definition of many. :)

Pop quiz.
If Student expects 1,000 people to solve this puzzle, and the thread was created 15 days ago, what is the expected amount of people that will solve the puzzle before it ends in five days given this rate?
When will the the expected goal of 1,000 people achieve this goal?
No calculators.

I haven't given up yet.
I'm just being strategic and waiting.

I've been wondering. How are you so rich? Especially formerly being a student and then a tutor. Maybe you're tutoring an Arab Prince?
Or maybe you're a prince yourself? Just... How? D:

I've got 1, 7, 10, 11, 17 and 18 left :/ Any tips?

I already have Ori, but I decided to try the puzzle just now.
Missing 1 and 5. :3

Well, I got more than half now...guess I'm going to have to be satisfied with that. :|

I could probably get 1, 7 and 19 with some more research, and 17 and 18 with some more guessing, but I've been banging my head against 5, 10, 11 and 20 since the beginning and the clues aren't helping...

You will want to shoot yourself dead when you get 20...

I already do, but I know what you mean - the answers are always so stupidly obvious once you know them :\
Comment has been collapsed.
"What could the answer be?" Really, that's supposed to help? I've been asking myself that question for days!! :P
And believe me, I've read 5 so carefully I could write it letter for letter, including exact punctuation, spacing, capitalization and everything...I've had several ideas, but none of them have worked. I KNOW I'm missing something obvious, but that doesn't exactly help.
Is there a way to see the answers after the GA is over?.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmmph...not ONLY Q20, but that one probably bugs me the most because I know it HAS to be obvious! Errrrrrrrrrr.....
EDIT: Oh, come ON, I swear that was the first thing I tried! Doh! Now just 8 more to go...yeah, right.
Comment has been collapsed.
I thought I tried a lot of obvious answers...you guys wait, there will come a day, some day, maybe way in the future, where an answer will click with me and you guys will be pounding your head against the wall. I promise I won't rub it in :D
Comment has been collapsed.
OK, fine, that was obvious...I swear that was the first thing I tried, but I probably thought it was too obvious and skipped it. sigh
EDIT: Same with 5 - tried the answer I thought couldn't possibly be right, and got it - still don't really understand why, but I'll take it. Now only 1, 7, 11, 12, 17, 18, and 19 to go................
EDIT: Got 17 finally, figured I would.
EDIT: Got 10 & 11, now just the ones left that I said I could probably get - let's see about that.
EDIT: Got 18...now just a lot of research to do, I hope
EDIT: Can't believe it, but I just got 7...two left
EDIT: 19 solved, just 1 left... sigh

More hints?!?! Time to go solve this.
....nope didn't help.
1 - one of my top 10 favorite English songs. Frustrated that the answer probably has nothing to do with the song I'm thinking of.
7 - have never been confident I'll get this and hints make it even more obvious I wont get it.
8 - there are only so many ways to word this. No idea anymore.
17,18 - first batch of hints didn't help. New ones also don't.
I had been able to solve your previous puzzles after hints. I've thrown in the towel on this one. Thanks student, grats to the 11 solvers and good luck to those still attempting!

Down to 1, 7, 19...should just be a matter of research, I think.
1's confusing though - "What numbers" is exactly where I'm at.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, so many other words popped into my head for 18, but your last hint focused me in on the direction you were looking for.
I'm still not getting anywhere with #1 though

The song I know may not be the one you're thinking of, but in any case I don't know what you're looking for...
Moving on the 7 and 19...

59,529 song search results for the promise
OMGGGGGGGGGGG!!!! There are THAT many results for songs related to THE PROMISE?!?! If I would have known that I wouldn't have spent bookoooos of hours on this so-called easy puzzle!!

Thanks for the answers so I know where I went wrong.
1- never played a final fantasy game so I dont know how it relates.
7- knew I wouldnt get this and the answer confirms that
8- i was thinking skin/epidermis type answers. Shadow makes sense.
17- i was thinking community related, not individual and the answer is more for each individual person and not the whole.
18- i over thought this one.
Good puzzle overall. I should have had 18 out if 20.

Ah, hints, ah, they lead to the same guesses. Too dizzy to go in more circles, have a bump :)

Super what? I don't know if I would rather you be dyslexic, autistically brilliant or just flat out crazy. Right now it's a toss up between the three.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, I finished it...but I'm going to need therapy before I can talk about it more than just to say that you leave me feeling so inadequate for not be familiar with such things... :_(

Comment has been collapsed.
Oh i forgot about this. Now i take another look and i get 12 and i give up. I will be looking for your puzzles i like this.

Hints have been helpful, now just 3 to go! Q1 (no idea), Q10 and Q11
edit: Just Q1 left, but the hints are pretty weird... so closeeee

I'm pretty sure it's impossible to solve. Unless my knowledge of US coins is missing something. I know how these kind of questions are supposed to be solved, but this particular one make no sense.

Just 3 left: 1, 7 and 8. How the hell am I going to know what your favorite band is?

Your giveaways are not visible to others (unless they stumble upon an invite link in the forums). You have 830 giveaways, of which the vast majority are invite only and for private groups.
Google brings up some of your forum posts which do reveal a bit of your music taste though.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm not disputing that your invite only GAs are public, I'm saying they aren't visible to the public. People cannot click your profile and then open your giveaway pages to read the contents. Google will not index those invite-only giveaways. The only way people can read them is if they find each link you've ever posted on the SG forums, which has no search/user index feature.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well I'm not suffering, I figured out the puzzle almost instantly, but I'm just letting that guy know it's possible to know what kind of music you're into without insane dedication to cyber-stalking you.
