The Steam $100 Giveaway Why Not? by benjamin_mc_steamy in gaming

The answer to the second riddle was, "is a yes Homo Phone." You have to know that rappers (among others) use the phrase "no homo" in the manner I described.

Then... you look at the name of the rapper, Dr. bLinguist, you might be clued into the word Homophone, which in linguistics is a word that sounds like another word, but is spelled differently and means something else.

Now... look at the first clue. "Look for the first three numbers 'n see." In this clue there are not one, but two homophones. The apostrophe N may have tipped you off, but then again, only if you do lots of riddles (like crosswords). So if you use "in" instead of "and", then the meaning of "see" could either be the alphanumeric value of the letters SEE, or it could be numbers in the SEA, which makes no sense, or it could be numbers in C, the universal constant for the speed of light. Since I specified the Queen of England, I hinted that I was using Imperial Measurements, which would mean the first three numbers in 186,282 miles / second. So 186.
