I was thinking about the Austin event. Now Microsoft put a lot of work into this campaign, and if they are as smart as I give the credit for, the would have planned for a setback like the weather forcing an event to cancel. the events are probably somewhat modular in case of something like this. The question of how the different times and events will affect the clues given and when the box unlocks is a good one. it would be logical to give different clues at each, spreading the information and making the game (minutely) harder. also it would allow for MORE information to be passed on. and with the cancellation of the austin even I'm going to assume that each of the other presentations will have information from it added in as well.

Here is a sat photo of the cordinates in LA. Today is 1.13 It should be unlocked as soon as the LA timer reaches 0. Anyone nearby?

I think you must've typed it the wrong co-ordinates on that map, you have the wrong location there :/

here is the proper location...

yeah.. that's the right location. As I said before, all of the locations this time are in parks.

About the weather thing... I think MS was trying to gear away from that, since the clues today are going to be in places that don't have harsh weather on a regular basis. So maybe they just felt like they were going to be lucky :p

What's going to be interesting.. is to see how the Florida and Sydney way go, since they are both scheduled to start at the exact same time.

that's very likely, a good businessman, after all, hopes for the best, but prepares for the worst. They were probably trying to avoid bad weather, and assumed it wouldn't be, I still betcha they had a backup plan just in case though ;)

I think there should be a separate thread for the 2nd puzzle box. This way it will be easy to see where the discussions started, and not have to look through the old one.

If a mod is reading.. could you please make this happen?

FYI:

20 more minutes!!

we could just mark the begining at whatever page, if a mod isn't around atm. otherwise that's not a bad idea at all

All of the events are supposed to be the same, from what we'd been told by people at 42. I expect that the puzzle box will unlock in 13 minutes.

Side note: Has anyone gotten any credit for bringing in a referral? I supposedly have at least one, but I don't seem to have any more points than I earned for registration and solving the week 1 puzzles.

    • Microsoft Opens Fairwater: Wisconsin AI Campus Runs as One Supercomputer via 800G Ethernet

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
