has someone noticed that there is a guy right at the end of the film? at 1:37

maybe it's the same guy you discussed before? he must be there for a reason.

I thought i saw something when the camera wizzes off her. Could just be the camera man moving the camera fast and catching a stage-hand or other camera man by mistake.

I must discard my theory about conection between events and celestial bodies.

Unfortunatly no corelation there. I checked everything visible at the times given on the web page.

All I can see there is:

#1.

If Loki vanishes and reapears in citys and Seattle is last on the list should we find the mising city or location?

May just me being picky, what do you think?

Well.... I think it might be something - it happens right as she says 'timeless' and it appears to fade in, then out very quickly, not like an encoding error at all.

Tried looking at hours?

Seattle = Microsoft home. Where do you suggest the missing city's are?

so the times above are all PST right?

so to get them in local time you have to add on however many hours. so london is 8 hours ahead of PST so it is at 7pm local time in london right?

I would have thought that they were native times... but I might be wrong...

why isn't anyone making more of an issue of the 9 digits across the paintings in the video? ignoring it just cos it was the most prominent thing?

I saw that, didn't think much of it since a lot of them are 0, but I guess it might be important.

"0C" was on one of the paintings, it is 12 in hexadecimal

Yes, I looked for anything with repeatng pattern on all cites. ISS, Moon, Sun, Sunsets & Sunrises, Venus and other things that can be seen with naked eye, but nothing came up.

I think that some of the codes will reveal GPS locations or something like that and that probably we will have one extra location. This is of course my logic, may not be true, but I will keep an eye for it.

I think that frames in the movie tell the basic plot of things to happen.

#1. Loki is the girl in the movie

#2. She's a magician

#3. She will perfom a vanishing act on that spot in front of the fountain

#4. She will reapear on new location in LA 5 days leter

#5. She will then again do the same thing until the last vanishing act in Seattle

#6. Task is difficult or immposible when you have two locations at the same time like Miami and Austin so maybe one of those is a decoy, or she has a twin sister.

What is not clear yet and I will ask someone to help. Is that family tree frame. Can someone scan that page and post it. Please! :)

1:02 pm??? anyone else notice how weird that is :s?

It isn't 1:02 pm anymore. They changed it to 3:00 pm. I don't know if this was something they changed or if the original poster read it wrong.

The fact that all the misspelled words are now spelled correctly still intrigues me. Call me crazy, but MS has invested enough time and effort into a project like this to have caught four glaring spelling mistakes on one page... I still think NIAC is a clue.

why isn't anyone making more of an issue of the 9 digits across the paintings in the video? ignoring it just cos it was the most prominent thing?

I saw it too, but I think it looks like ooDC. ooDC is a program where you can dowload stuff, so I think that someone maybe has put a clue there. The question is just where, there's a lot of different hubs there.

yeah there is a man at the end of the video, its when the camera spins round right at the very end. i mean i can imagine the other guy standing there is just a mistake but why would they not cut that bit of video from the end of it if it isnt supposed to be there. :s

i dont know, everytime i watch that video it makes me laugh because it reminds me of porn i mean the music in the background is straight out of a porn film and the poor acting and general cameraship is similar to that of a porn film lol :)

I have thaught about two things:

At first I found out that NIAC might stand for "Normalized Image of the Absolute Conic". So I searched for that.

Google found this page: http://www.actapress.com/PaperInfo.aspx?PaperID=27885

This might or might not be in the game. But it talks about vanishing point.

I also realized that one of the clocks in the movie is broken. I think the lady puts a screwdriver in the box so she can fix it. this might mean that one of the timers is counting wrong and we have to find out why so.

I hope this will help solving the riddle.

this is the family tree, maybe there is a difference between this page and original in the book. If someone has the book, scan of this page would help.

Don't have the book, but this site seems to have a text version of the family tree: http://members.pcug.org.au/~ronwells/580-9.htm

You lost me there :s where did you get NIAC from?

I would take a look, but I can't access that journal for free :( http://www.csis.hku.hk/~kykwong/publicatio...zhang_sip06.pdf has the same article, but it's down right now and google doesn't have it cached

Edit: my bad... google does have it cached, just no images

Edit 2: if anyone wants to see a cached version: http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:8REzeM...t=clnk&cd=1

Zenit, would you be able to upload the pdf? I'm guessing it's alright because the authors have it available for public access

Edited by malcolmst

I am trying to read what is written on the scrapbook. One of the things I found is "Space Time" (although of course Im not quite sure)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime

Even Euler is mentioned in the Wiki article:

"A compact manifold can be turned into a spacetime if, and only if, its Euler characteristic is 0."

Anyone noticed that the www.vanishingpoint.com page now has a link to wineflower.com, that was not on the page when this game started, it was not a link I mean, does not seam to be linked but its an avenue no one would seem to have looked at fully, is there device linked to micosofts lifedrive maybe and does it link to Vista in some way ?

Congrats all who have a Laptop nice Christmas gift eh!

Both those domains are registered by Network Solutions, vanishingpointgame.com and myvanishingpoint.com are Go Daddy. I don't really think vanishingpoint.com is related in any way. myvanishingpoint.com might be though :p

Yeah :D that would be great to get a free laptop randomly in the mail... I should start up a blog.....

    • BATorrent 3.0.2 by Razvan Serea BATorrent is a lightweight, open-source BitTorrent client built with modern C++ and Qt 6, offering a clean, fast, and privacy-focused alternative to traditional torrent apps. It supports magnet links, .torrent files, resume data, sequential downloading, per-file priorities, and even imports from qBittorrent. Power users benefit from integrated RSS auto-download with regex filtering, duplicate detection, and automatic tracker lists from Stremio. Streaming is seamless thanks to auto-detected players like VLC and IINA. BATorrent includes robust VPN tools—interface binding, auto-detection for WireGuard-based services like Mullvad and NordLynx, kill switch, proxy support, and IP filtering. A full WebUI enables remote control, while integrations with Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby automate library updates. With themes, speed scheduling, system-tray alerts, and cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, and macOS, BATorrent delivers a polished, high-performance torrenting experience. BATorrent features: Core .torrent file and magnet link support Resume data — picks up where you left off after restart Import torrents from qBittorrent Create .torrent files from any file or folder Sequential download mode Per-file priority control (skip, low, normal, high) Seed ratio limits with auto-pause DHT, PEX, UPnP, NAT-PMP RSS Auto-Download Subscribe to RSS feeds — automatically download new torrents as they appear Regex filters — match only what you want (e.g. 1080p|720p, S01E\d+) Per-feed settings — custom save path, check interval (5–1440 min), enable/disable Auto-download — matched items are downloaded automatically in the background Supports magnet links, .torrent URLs, and tags Tray notifications when items are auto-downloaded Duplicate detection — never downloads the same item twice Stremio Stremio Addon System pre-installed — works out of the box Auto tracker list from ngosang/trackerslist Streaming Play while downloading — stream video files before the download is complete Supports mp4, mkv, avi, mov, wmv, flv, webm, m4v, ts Auto-detects installed players (VLC, IINA, system default) VPN & Privacy Interface binding — lock torrent traffic to a specific network interface (e.g. tun0) Auto VPN detection — identifies VPN interfaces (tun, tap, WireGuard, Mullvad, NordLynx, ProtonVPN) Kill switch — automatically pauses all torrents if the VPN interface drops Auto-resume — resumes only the torrents paused by the kill switch when VPN reconnects Proxy support — SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy with optional authentication IP filtering — load P2P blocklists to block unwanted IP ranges Protocol encryption (enabled / forced / disabled) WebUI Remote management — control torrents from any browser at http://localhost:8080 REST API with JSON responses Add torrents via magnet link or .torrent upload Pause, resume, remove torrents remotely View peers and files per torrent Dark theme matching the desktop app HTTP Basic Auth with SHA-256 password hashing Configurable port and remote access (localhost vs 0.0.0.0) Interface 3 themes: Dark, Light, Midnight (bat/vampire aesthetic) Real-time speed graph Detailed panel with tabs: General, Peers, Files, Trackers Filter bar: search by name, filter by state (Active, Downloading, Seeding, Paused, Finished) Drag & drop .torrent files and magnet links Drag & drop reorder in torrent list System tray with notifications (download complete, kill switch events, RSS auto-downloads) Splash screen with bat animation Bilingual: English and Portuguese (BR), auto-detected from system locale Bandwidth Scheduler Alternative speed limits — set different download/upload limits on a schedule Time range — configure active hours (e.g. 01:00 to 07:00), supports overnight ranges Per-day control — choose which days of the week the schedule applies Automatically switches between normal and alternative speeds Media Server Integration Plex — automatically trigger library scan when a download completes Jellyfin / Emby — same automatic library refresh via API Configure server URL and authentication token/key in Settings System Cross-platform: Windows, Linux, macOS Auto-shutdown — automatically shut down PC when all downloads complete (60s cancellable countdown) Auto-update system (AppImage on Linux, installer on Windows, DMG on macOS) CLI arguments: pass .torrent files or magnet: URIs directly Keyboard shortcuts: Space to toggle pause, Ctrl+A to select all, Ctrl+O to open BATorrent 3.0.2 changelog: Phone pairing & WebUI The browser WebUI was reskinned to match the desktop app — same dark palette, Inter font, flat surfaces, the real BATorrent logo (it was a random bat before), and a proper magnet icon. It now looks like the same product, not a separate dashboard. Pairing is one tap and zero typing: the generated WebUI password is now copyable, and the QR code carries the credentials — scanning it from your phone logs straight in (no typing the IP or password), then drops the credentials from the address bar. Search Two new providers: RuTor (CIS sources, no login, via a public TorAPI relay) and Torrents-CSV. Results are sorted by seeders (healthiest first), and each search now times out after 15 s so one dead provider can't hang the UI. Files & trackers Per-file priority is back: right-click a file in the detail panel to set Skip / Low / Normal / High. Rename an individual file inside a torrent (double-click or the file menu), separate from renaming the torrent. Remove a tracker from a torrent (the ✕ on a tracker row); adding was already there. Smart Paste on Ctrl+V — paste a magnet, a 40-char info-hash, or a .torrent URL straight from the clipboard and it's added immediately (text fields still paste text normally). Covers & titles Anime fansub naming ([Group] Title - NN) now resolves to the right show. Audio channel layouts in titles (DDP5.1, 7.1, …) are stripped so they don't pollute cover matching. Under the hood The legacy QWidget interface is gone. QML had been the only UI since 3.0.0 (reachable old code lived behind a hidden --legacy flag); with parity confirmed, the entire QWidget layer — main window, every dialog, the theme manager — was removed (~13,400 lines). The four restored actions above were features that backend already supported but the QML port had never wired. macOS: the WebUI password hash moved out of the keychain into app settings, so launching the app no longer pops a login-keychain password prompt on unsigned builds. The actual password still lives in the keychain. Cleanup: ~400 orphaned translation strings and a batch of dead code removed; internal duplication collapsed; an ARCHITECTURE.md added for contributors. Unit / security / memory tests and the ASan/UBSan/TSan sanitizers stay green.
