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


Recommended Posts

well if the email address is still good then im guessing that it still means something, like maybe wait for the next countdown. it just seems like there isnt any room for error and right when a page is supposed to stop working it does. like all the earlier pages that we cant get to anymore. just a thought...

Wow!

That's all I can say about those of you who solved the puzzles.

I solved 2 easy ones and 1 medium, and when I was thinking to report back to Neowin...you guys solved them all.. ><

btw. For the second puzzle box, do we know where the events are happening in each city? What do all those cities have in common?

so I just e-mailed [email protected] and got something different that everyone else..

I think the watch she is holding has to do with the whole time theme that we had with the first puzzle box, whats most interesting is that her thing what ever she called it is 3.1416 with is the number pi, this also joins with the pi symbol in that book....

Just a little side note, in the video she talks about like her time coming to an end and yet she seems a little obbsessed with the number pie, which is a non-recurring non-ending number.

These puzzles are great! I looked at the forum for some hints, but wanted to try them myself :p Congratulations to everyone who's solved them!

It's my preference to not give away solutions... since the point of this game is solving the puzzles, not searching google for "vanishing point" and winning a prize for doing nothing.. But I'm sure the answers would still get out even if they weren't posted here. I'm personally not going to post any solutions... maybe hints if I solve any first, but not the exact answer. Just my thoughts about this :D...

*rubs eyes*

Morning and thanks for that last answer - congratulations to the last few who stayed up to get it - but was too late for me - think i hit the sack at around 6am lol

In case it has not been posted yet... A compolation of the answers:

SOLVED EASY:

SPRINGS = FIVE

SUNDIAL = HELIOS

GEARS = TIME TRAVEL

mantle clock = HONEY

SOLVED MEDIUM:

POCKET WATCHES = GREEN

CURRENT EVENTS = HORIZON

Cuckoos = Big Ben

Airport = CARTOGRAPHER

SOLVED HARD:

HOURGLASSES = candelabra

Repair Table = WRINKLE

CALANDARS = Interrobang

STARFIELD = WASHINGTON

I did try to post some answers, but being slow to get here, and watch the vid is seems someone got the answer by the time I was half done doing the puzzles. heh I'll be here for the beginning of the next one though.

I've been looking around for that "meta-game" people mentioned but...so far i've found noting other than "transferring data" when you click on the white anomalies in certain games, and nothing has really jumped out as a significant clue. I highly doubt there is one... and if there is I don't know what it would do because ALL the prises including the amd chip prize are listed in the official rules. I know it doesn't give any more points either, there is a maximum of 1500 points once this is all said and done.

so I just e-mailed [email protected] and got something different that everyone else..

    • This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
    • The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
