Well Done @PotatoHead Credits and FIMES added.
Explanation of the solution:
having:
A + B = C
C= A x B - (B - A)
So
?? = 7 x 10 - (10 - 7)
?? = 70 - 3
?? = 67

Everyone else be ready for the next round soon, @PotatoHead can't join next round, It will be an easy one :)
 
2nd Challenge
Difficulty Level : Easy

" I'm the driver of a bus, in the first bus-stop 3 people get inside, in the second stop 4 get in and 2 go out, in the third stop 5 get in and only 1 gets out. Finally, in the last stop before the terminal nobody gets in but 3 get out. How old is the driver of the bus? "
 
Indeed, The answer Was 27, I'm the bus driver, So you had to look at my profile page to check my Age :)
@-YakuZa- Credits and FIMES will be added in the next Few Minutes.
Next Challenge will be Easy also, so You can't join next Round
 
Correct, The answer Was 12... January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd.....
@Wizzush Credits and FIMES already added
Next Challenge will be Extreme Difficulty. Everyone can join, even Wizzush
 
Clue #2
You had to crop the important part which is the bead sheet. here I cropped it for you
zJMiL7q.jpg

Download and then use GIMP which is a free image manipulation tool, like photoshop but free. (https://www.gimp.org/)

Show the grid (View > Show Grid) and Set the size (Image > Configure Grid...) as the picture below
1604028948608.png
Count the squares that take each bar and transcript it, whites and colour squares, for example the beginning of the code from left to right would be "211232" Dig a bit of info from Code 128 wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_128 211232 is the equivalent for Start Code C for example,
Transcript first left to right and then bottom to top stitch those 2 together and you can translate the code using the chart at the wiki page or find a barcode width translator

There will be one decoding left to do on that long string you will have to do.

Next clue will be the length of the password
 
I can't believe how lazy you guys are, The information it's all out there. Password length is 17 it begins with E and ends with R
Be aware that some numbers might be disguised as letters :)
 
INdeed, Finally got It. sorry for the delay. Now, 3 clues means 30% less of the prIze, This is 4000-30% 2800 credits.
You better be ready for the next round, it will be announced Maybe in about 24 hs.
Until then.

@DORAEMON prizes already added

Correct, The answer Was INFINITYMU...You had to check all the Capital letters in the message
We have the Christmas bonus which makes the prize 1000GC instead of 500, Still I gave a clue that means -10% that makes the final prize 900GC + 1 FIMES
