CONGRATS ON SOLCING IT. Whoever got it, I hope you enjoyed wasting your time

Hey everyone, I've decided to be a complete asshole with a puzzle. Why? Because multiple people remember my brute force puzzles and described them as "painful"

Well. I'm here to put you through hell. To make you want to die by the end of it. It's brute force. And by god, you will hate me before it's over.

So, I've made it a little bit easier, though still impossible.

Firstly, it is a group puzzle. One person finishes it, you all finish it.

Secondly, as the days go on, if no one has finished it yet, I will narrow the numbers down a bit. Some days I may just exclude a little, some I may exclude a lot of numbers. The point is, don't rely on the hints.

Third, the giveaways attached to it will be open for 1 month.

Now, for the fun part.There are 5 games up for grabs, all from the community wishlist, and all ones that are trending upwards. I won't say which games though.

Good luck everyone. Don't hate me too much. hatemebaby

There are rules as well. You must be in good standing and able to pass the most basic sgtools test. Activated all games, no double wins and not vac banned.

As always, don't share the links after the sgtools one please.

And please, trust me, when I say it's impossible, I mean it's impossible. I suggest splitting the numbers into sections. If you want to yell at me for being a dick, please do. Hopefully the prizes are worth it.

enjoy

I wish I could see what everyone guesses so I can see how close people get

EDIT:

Apparently some broke the spreadsheet so I'll add some hints here. It's not 1-1000 or 45000-50000

It is not from 15000-16000

It is not 27109-27234

It is not 23846-24410

It does not end in 0

It is not 17291-17520

It is not 21821-23844

It is not 26011-26150

It is not 33141-33790

**It does not contain a 0 or 2

FINAL HINT, IT CONTAINS A 1

Now that I have access, hints will be added directly to the spreadsheet

There is also a new spreadsheet

It's nice to see everyone working together.

So, it's been pointed out that I should give some sort of idea of the page on the wishlist or something for the games. I'll tell you that all of them had at least 2 upwards trending arrows at the time this was made, none have been bundled before

2 are in the top 100, and some have started trending downward since then but nothing I can do about that. 3 have had less than 100 giveaways made for it

Considering amount of hints we were given, and if we can make another spreadsheet, maybe next time we should do a max of 1 million.
I enjoyed working together with everyone.

Then we should work smart and use scripts... Doing this manually is really a huge waste of work hours. LOL

Imagine using this effort for something actually useful. (─‿‿─)

Bump. What was the number? If you gonna make one with 1 million can we use scripts to solve it? I made one and then saw that you didnt want scripts to be used so i didnt use it.
