Hints for Leg 1
Generic hints:


questions 1-10: passwords in pop culture
11-15: hackers in pop culture
16-20: objects from famous games
21-30: colour theory
31-40: ciphers. substitution ciphers only.
41-50: mixed bag

common pain points
comic thingy - watchmen. The comics is watchmen.
lollipop - its a geeky movie, a scene where the protagonist is asked a password to enter a night clib. google reverse image search, and then put password in the box.
colour boxes - the grid is a series, like word of the year, person of the year, game of the year...
weird characters - 1337sp33|<
Good decryption tools to use : quipquip and dcode
If stuck, google reverse image search is your friend

Those who want to start with the magazine leg, here is what you need

You will also need to get the magazine though

It's a puzzle :D

Actually, the link to start is somewhere on that page only, read everything carefully. Most importantly, read the rules.

Can someone provide a link to a puzzle from CTC V and its solution so that I could get an idea about this contest? I've been trying to get leads on the first leg for the past three hours, I've read the rules but I still haven't made any significant progress. :(
