I don't *think* it's a case of one word per block of 9 letters, I've looked through every possibility (for the first block), and nothing jumps out at me a being a word, then again, the answer might not be a word, so we need some way to tell when we've found the answer we're looking for

I'm thinking along the lines of each box being assigned a number, I would assume standardly i.e. Left-> Right ,then top to bottom.

I'm playing with valueing each letter such that the average of each box is the number stated, then say the center value for each box could be the key.

I dunno.. don't have much time, but I may give it a go later

im trying to work myself out using these combinations. Some of them actually make words if you arrange, remove some letters accordingly.

J B P R N I D M

B A E I C F A F B

R J 0 R 0 S J S R

R I R A U G

M Y R Y S 0 N S I R R Y A B J P 0 R S J 0

im sorry i just noticed this!!!!

M Y R Y S 0 N S I R R Y A B J P 0 R S J 0

it some how says, "My reason is...."

So far I have worked out:

jyybjdccdy

yybjdccdy

jyybjdccdc

yybjdccdc

jyybjdccim

yybjdccim

jyybjuuuua

yybjuuuua

jyybjuuuur

yybjuuuur

and

ruujbdmmdj

uujbdmmdj

ruujbdmmdc

uujbdmmdc

None of these are correct, so I'll keep trying. :(

I really don't get how the cypher box given to us which shows the keyboard layout is supposed to be used to solve the code. Can any1 explain? and the picture with PASS under it its file name is.

kryptonfactorburnsqv4

And what second puzzle are you guys talking about?? and wat boxes lol im confused

And did any1 get a key to actually enter in the key box

My idea is that the nine digit number at the bottom right refers to the number of steps to take across the grid (including the step you're on), following in the direction of the arrows on the square you leave from. Take the letter of each square you land on, and I think you'll get the next code.

I don't think the mini-grids of nine squares are relevant at all.

Any help? Tallied the letters up, then under each number I put which letters have that many in the puzzle...?

(Edited for correctness (d's counted wrong))

Seriously cant figure out the second puzzle, but im pretty sure the arrows on the boxes will play a part in solving the puzzle.

That's what I'm thinking, there's seemingly no order to the box patterns though

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
