Video clues/findings

1. The map (left of Bellagio picture) is the map of the Bellagio fountains, one of the sidewalks has been marked with a pen

2. Japanese text in the video (below the Bellagio picture) is the Main welcome text of the Japanese Bellagio site

3. She puts 1 watch in her pocket and 4 watches in a box, with a small red dart/screwdriver/...

4. She talks about "if they need help, they can look for the vanishingpoint tag".

When you search on Google for "vanishingpoint tag" you get to the Flickr site above.

Biography clues/findings

1. The formula and biography hint towards Leonhard Euler (not sure yet)

Other clues/findings

1. Changing your system time progresses the counter, but nothing happens when it reaches 00:00:00.

Rather unlikely, especially as it was last modified on July 16th.

GalaxyRailway is an old Japanese Cartoon/Anime from the 80's (and a fav of mine from when I was a kid in HK) :)

Just to backtrack to the start, people talk about a diode on the cat. I have a copy of that image from ages ago and it has the "diode" on that too- my assumption would be that it is just a random bit of plastic/item, and its also the reason the cats reacting how he is and its not in game.

This is filling the hole 'The Lost Experience' ARG left- New way for me to waste my time, woo!

hey inzenity since you seem to have the original video can you post it in the original resolution somewhere, or at least give us some more shots of it.

You missed out that the date counts down to the 8th of January 2007 6.30pm

But the rest is all good, We need to see more high res footage. video, i still reckon that the video is missing some thing at the beginning? any one else agree?

The wrappers look like a xbox 360 button confige if rotated

EDIT: CES2007 will be on during the time when the countdown finishes? http://windowsconnected.com/photos/blog_pi...0/original.aspx All together Now. Announcing a new way to share, protect, and store what matters most.January 2007 could this be something?

EDIT2: The original video was taken down very quick, kinda reminds me of lost and their videos

Is it just me or do you think she is memorizing that book she is reading.

[Zyphrax]

Lets find out which book she is exactly reading

[Scott390]

Anyone spent any time trying to find other sites that are doing the same as us to try and steal some ideas... Im assuming we need to figure out another key and since all the keys so far have come from that first cryptic image from keyboard rotations etc does the video even help us with finding another key??

Some one, clear up this image, may have a clue.? from the youtube video the book she was reading

About as clean as it will get, from inzenity's blog. I just used ps on it a bit to make the text darker and more focused.

[smash505]

Somebody wanna give the guy who posted the flickr images a call?

His number is 617-326-3854 and he lives in Japan. I think his name is Ho Yin.

The pages are from The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by 18th century English historian Edward Gibbon.

The site flash has some hidden secrets.

But they are hard to uncover.

Do you think wasting my time for that could bring useful info?

[Zyphrax]

Some have tried to decompile it, but no great results so far...

I guess the ASPX page does the real work :)

ffs are you lot still here - clear awff and go chase santa !

You are not enough familiar with flash protection.

If you look in the decomplied flash code, you'd find out that it doesn't do ANYTHING useful. only some strange simple aruthmetics and IFs.

It doesn't send anything to internet. This is what you should find suspicious.

I solved the case: the code is broken and only parts can be decompiled. But it can be disassembled! And I see some interesting things there.

My reply was based on findings by other users. Im running a Flash decompiler now myself. The first thing I notice is indeed a load of IFs. Is this some form of obfuscation or really just plain useless?

[DaveLegg Developer]

Anyone care to point me at a good free flash decompiler?
