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


Recommended Posts

On the video there was a spot with a face and date range.

The only person I could find born 1866 died 1946 was H G Wells

No idea what puzzle this may help with

Herbert George Wells (September 21, 1866 ? August 13, 1946), better known as H. G. Wells, was an English writer best known for such science fiction novels as The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds, The Invisible Man, and The Island of Doctor Moreau

Can't help but notice that 8 and 66 are two of the numbers on the repair table, and the (866) area code shows up on the Las Vegas sign in the video. Could it be a phone number? Separate the 101 into 10 and 1, and I think you have enough digits.

But what would you do with the 10? Just drop it?

That is a reference for "What did he write about?"....the answer "TIME TRAVEL"

when we solve all the puzzles for this week we need to focus on the white symbols they can't be a coincidence.

Except that they are. Do a search on the definition of the word "meta". Basically, the meta puzzle will be something that ties everything together. As I've said before, don't obsess over things that are easily explained away. You'll drive yourself crazy. The puzzle elements will be deliberately obvious, but HARD, not random and inexplicable.

    • Where is the "Wow!" emoji? This'll have to do 🤩
    • I hear you on browser password manager, in my case I have two Google profiles, one was created when Google decided to grandfather us out of Workspace for Domains (with the replacement being too expensive for 25 users) resulting in my domain email address no longer being able to be registered to a new Workspace I created (for myself and another co-owner) so I could use Takeout and sync over some stuff to the new Workspace. Then I have my personal Google profile which I could be logged into on my desktop or Mobile, so I am saving passwords on one or the other, and when an URL changes another password for the same service gets added, it basically ends up being a giant mess. Unless I missed something is there a local decent password manager that can override the browser password managers for Chrome, Edge, Firefox (profiles) so that there is only one vault, and does that also support Passkeys (which to me are still confusing because sometimes it will ask for a Passkey on a phone I am no longer using!) Microsofts implementation of Passkeys is the worst!
    • It's utterly baffling that we have no idea when we'll get new features even well after they've been released. Why Microsoft thinks this is a good rollout strategy is beyond me.
    • If it makes anybody happy, others will need to be bitter about it. (apologies to Yogi Berra)
    • I owned a lot of Soundblaster cards over the years all the way back to the ISA slot era. I use a Soundblaster X3 external now because I'm able to run it through a KVM and have it follow the machine I happen to be using. It drives a set of JBL 305 powered monitors wonderfully. I'm not gaming or doing home theater through it, so rear channels aren't a consideration for me, though it does have side / rear / sub outputs.
