The REAL game starts... (Puzzle Box 1)


Recommended Posts

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?

Airport

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".

    • The FIFA World Cup is not US centric.
    • It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
    • Microsoft, totally not confusing /s 25H2 - Current for non-Arm based Windows 26H1 - Current for Arm based Windows 26H2 - Only for non Arm Windows
    • After I installed those, my older but capable Win 11 laptop (16GB RAM) reported it as 26H2 26300.8697. Then I installed it on my big laptop (128GB RAM! Hehe sorry), it reported it as 25H2 26220.8690. Ugh. Do I have to switch Insiders channels from Release to Beta?
