On the "Airport" one, the times are 1,2,3,4,5,... so on till 12. If u c wot i meen... Basically they could be placed in numerical order, etc. & i still think the "Cuckoo" one is to do with music. Still thinkin tho.

Yah, but they don't mean anything.

I mean, I came up with the following: AKS DAH ISAA

The most I could make out of that was: Ask Had Asia

I first rearranged the cities to be numerical, then took the letter (or lack of) according to the number pre-assigned it...but, as I said, nothing. Any ideas?

You'll need this image to decode the times: http://www.flickr.com/photos/longzheng/351179088/

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

For instance, the first one is CASABLANCA 10:00. Look at the decoder image where 10:00 should be. There you find a 1. So, take the first character of this city -- "C".

Now do this for each of them. Leave out spaces when counting characters. You get:

10 = 1 = C

7 = 5 = A

9 = 7 = R

12 = 9 = T

5 = 12 = O

2 = 4 = G

3 = 11 = R

11 = 2 = A

4 = 8 = P

1 = 6 = H

8 = 10 = E

6 = 3 = R

And you get CARTOGRAPHER

Cuckoos looks like something to do with a Windows OS build number and version.

51 0026100 2866

The Las Vegas video has the two missing coccoos in it, they are 3 and 7. If you input those, earth coordinates are shown: 51?30'02.61"N 0?07'28.66W - Big Ben in London. Thus, the solution to Cuckoos is "Big Ben".

nice one, how did you come by that answer though?

You needed to see this in the video. It's a hint towards email.

Email grainsSPLATvanishingpointgame.com and you get the following message: Very impressive! The answer you seek is "candelabra".

    • Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.
    • Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.
    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
