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?

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".

    • COBOL itself is not the problem. Code that has been bodged and kludged over decades but still somehow runs is probably the sort of Gordian knot that even AI can't necessarily unravel.
    • Nice devices but my Surface Pro 9 got bricked from a Windows Update efter only three years. Never buying a device from MS again.
