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.

5 days

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

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

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.....

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
    • Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 by Razvan Serea Microsoft Edge is a super fast and secure web browser from Microsoft. It works on almost any device, including PCs, iPhones and Androids. It keeps you safe online, protects your privacy, and lets you browse the web quickly. You can even use it on all your devices and keep your browsing history and favorites synced up. Built on the same technology as Chrome, Microsoft Edge has additional built-in features like Startup boost and Sleeping tabs, which boost your browsing experience with world class performance and speed that are optimized to work best with Windows. Microsoft Edge security and privacy features such as Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, Password Monitor, InPrivate search, and Kids Mode help keep you and your loved ones protected and secure online. Microsoft Edge has features to keep both you and your family protected. Enable content filters and access activity reports with your Microsoft Family Safety account and experience a kid-friendly web with Kids Mode. The new Microsoft Edge is now compatible with your favorite extensions, so it’s easy to personalize your browsing experience. Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 changelog: Migration to improved V2 architecture for Workspaces. Workspaces, introduced in Edge in 2022, allows users to create durable sets of tabs that can be saved and shared with others. In order to improve reliability and performance of this feature, the following changes are being made: Migrating data for saved Workspaces from OneDrive/SharePoint to Edge Sync service Removing the collaboration/share functionality of this feature For organizations who have disabled Sync through policy, the existing v1 Workspace data will still be migrated to the new architecture. New v2 Workspaces created after migration won't sync across devices and will remain local to each device. This update occurs on a progressive rollout beginning in Edge Stable v145 and will continue rolling out in Edge v149. For more information, see Getting started with Microsoft Edge Workspaces. Feature Updates Passkey Sync for Enterprise Users. Microsoft Edge is introducing support for passkey synchronization for enterprise users, enabling secure, passwordless authentication across devices. Passkeys created in Edge can now be synced seamlessly, improving sign-in experience while maintaining strong security standards. Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this change, check back as we continue the rollout. Enterprise WebView2 runtime downgrade via DowngradeVersion policy. Administrators can temporarily roll back specific applications to a previous WebView2 Evergreen Runtime version (N-1 or N-2) using the new DowngradeVersion policy in msedgewebview2.admx. The Downgrade Version policy allows enterprises to mitigate critical regressions by specifying per-application exe-to-version mappings. The Edge Updater installs the target version side-by-side, and the WebView2 Loader redirects targeted apps accordingly. Downgrades auto-expire with each new WebView2 release: apps pinned to N-1 remain on the same version (now becoming N-2) and will auto-update in the next release, while apps pinned to N-2 will revert to the current Evergreen version. The policy applies only to enterprise-managed devices (domain-joined or MDM-enrolled). For more information, see Microsoft Edge WebView2 Policy Documentation | Microsoft Learn. Collections retirement. Collections has been removed in this update. Users can no longer access or use the feature. To keep saved content, users can export it, or move all pages to Favorites before updating to Microsoft Edge Stable 149. For more information, see Organize your ideas with Collections in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Support. Modern, unified, and updated Look and Feel. Microsoft Edge has updated the Look and Feel to give customers a unified experience across all of Microsoft AI surfaces including Copilot and Bing. This changes multiple elements of the UX such as spacing, corners, fonts, default colors, etc. Clarify choices surrounding third-party cookie settings. Language under Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies are clarified to better describe the choices users have in managing third-party cookies. Custom primary password retirement. Users are no longer able to create a new custom primary password in Edge Settings edge://settings/autofill/passwords/settings. Any users who are still using a custom primary password will be automatically migrated to device authentication. Additionally, the PrimaryPasswordSetting policy will no longer support the WithCustomPrimaryPassword option. For more information, see Keep your saved passwords private in Microsoft Edge | Microsoft Support. Unifying Copilot Chat policy controls. The Microsoft365CopilotChatIconEnabled policy is the standard for configuring Copilot Chat. Previously, this behavior was controlled by blocking the Copilot extension, either explicitly or by using the * wildcard via the ExtensionSettings or ExtensionInstallBlockList policies. Extension and sidebar policies no longer affect the appearance or functionality of Copilot Chat. Copilot address bar suggestions were also tied to extension policy settings. Starting in Microsoft Edge version 149, admins can use the CopilotAddressBarSuggestionsEnabled policy to manage this behavior. Intune MAM Protected Downloads. The protected downloads feature for Intune MAM is now available for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) devices, which aren't managed by a tenant.
