Ok, now here is a different take on the soduku puzzle. Take the numbers in the bottom right and connect them in order without crossing or reusing those numbers. There is only one route to take and I come up with the letters SASIUNRCG I don't have them re-ordered yet using all letters...

Why are you working on something where the solution has already been found?

Its not that I am working on, it is that I was reading the wiki and subconsciously recognized the pattern. There may or may not be anything to it. But, with the series of puzzles that we have had, there is no reason to assume that the puzzles do not contain additional clues...

Who is LaughingSquid (Scott) - no he has a box too, does his contain different video or clues ?

#or is it the same box/256mb card already shown ??

Ok now I know, but the new list of locations and timers just proves my point fro before and that is What or (When ) is the Vanishing Point, for zero now has many options and if things continue from there onwards the vanishing point must move or be movable ? (Hmm) is there a mathematical point that would appear infinite but always moving ??

I think this might have been mentioned before but read anyways...

-circumnambulation is mispelled I think, should be no "n", I think this means the mispelled cities are very important in solving the puzzle

-the word itself seems to have a religious context, which I think means that this places "walk around" the answer to the puzzle

-later I am going to try looking at the map locations indexed in some way be the times

Ok, so funny things about the vanishingpointgame.com/circumambulation/ page are:

#1. - Title of the page = Circumnambulation - an extra n.

#2. - Austrailia - I don't know about everyone else but when I spell this country's name it only has one i.

#3. - Singpore - should be Singapore. odd. another error.

#4. - San Franciso - missing a c, San Francisco

hmm.

i was looking around web pages for some more info on the game and i found this web http://www.codecon.org/2006/ i dont know mabe its nothing

the mising leters spel this NIAC wich is

NIAC seeks proposals for revolutionary aeronautics and space concepts that could dramatically impact how NASA develops and conducts its missions. It provides a highly visible, recognizable, and high-level entry point for outside thinkers and researchers. NIAC encourages proposers to think decades into the future in pursuit of concepts that will "leapfrog" the evolution of current aerospace systems. While NIAC seeks advance concept proposals that stretch the imagination, these concepts should be based on sound scientific principles and attainable within a 10 to 40-year time frame.

"The Ritual of Circumnambulation (Hashiri no Gyoho) is an attempt to catch up with time in heaven." Found that somewhat interesting...

I'm assuming each location has a different computer/game related event taking place at that time? I'm trying to figure out where to be in Austin - I was hoping for a game conference or film festival, but no such luck.

I guess the "vanishing point" will be revealed for each location in the coming weeks...

hmm.

thats strange, all the incorrect letters spell cain... the guy who killed his brother abel in that bible story. it might be a coincidence though.

also, circumambulation means walking around something. maybe it means that we'll have to go to all of these events to get all the clues required to finish it?

One more thing all other cities have states or countrys associated with them, except Singapore

Totally good point. Nothing odd about this though, as Singapore is just Singapore.

Singapore is such a small country/island that it in itself is a city.

Born and raised there, :).

i donno why? but i get this feeling that this is all linked to a meteor or something that goes around the sun or earth and these counters represent the timing that when they hit ZERO .. this thing will be visible from the location or city related to each counter ...

and the whole thing .. that they will call this object / meteor by the name of the guy who figures it out.. so that might explain why they said his name will be said many times...etc

Please don't scare me :blink:

Maybe it is the moon.

such as...someone finding that there are intelligent creature living on the moon, and MS propagating its software to them? wouldnt work, they're (supposebly) intelligent ... :p

How did the original clue on the ie blog actually help us solve this puzzle?

It contained the leters on which different operations(ROT's and key shifting) were performed(accoridng to the keys) and then specific letters were selected (again, according to the keys)

EDIT: edited for spelling and typos :|

Verb 1. circumambulate - walk around something

walk around

circle - travel around something; "circle the globe"

The quote above is from a theosaurus...

All those cities and 'circumabulate' implies to circle the globe, and the sketches from the video might hint to this as well.

As for the moon, that's also a possibility, because Euler and Herodotus are craters on the moon

    • You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).

    • Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
