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


Recommended Posts

But it seems contacting isn't working very well..lol..I get bounce backs when I try to send to any of the addresses.

EDIT

I finally got something back from '[email protected]'

Hmmm. Not quite what I had in mind. Try harder - then listen closely.

~L

...and now I've got the one from Aaron.

hmmm...wonder why I got failures the first time.

You know...I received both the "work/play" email and the "try harder" email, but haven't received any of the extra ones that have been received, such as the Aaron email...strange...

She says she was contacted by recruiters...... That I Know of you do not refer to normal job contacts as recruiters the only people I know of as recruiters are sports people and military people. Clue ? or Does she just just have a intresting way of speaking.

Also I would like to bring up a suggestion. If it wouldn't be to much trouble, I think that a hint to kinda get you on the right path, like the morris code one for the reapir table would be nice before the anserw on the Wiki page would be very helpfull. Alot of the time I am just trying to find a new perspective to look at the puzzle from and not the anserw it is more rewarding to get the anserw yourslef in my opinion. Thank you for all of the hard work on the WIki page as well it has been a great help and I respect all of the hard wokr that has been put in to it.

that one for me took about 20 minutes to get. Also of note is you search aaron's email address you'll get a pdf of a conference he was a part of. It mentions jokingly that he is plugged into technology 22 hrs a day and "glows in the dark". so you'd think he'd have a blackberry, windows ce, something to be realizing he's getting all these emails and would have called someone to turn the auto reply off.

Problems with your keyboard? :s

I also mentioned it to him on the Hive. I suspect he didn't know about it. Probably why he's also not answering his phone. Poor guy.

you should get tthree emails one from remote mailer, v-loki and aaron

FYI ... the "v-loki" one is likely a mistake too. V- is appended to the beginning of e-mail aliases for Microsoft vendors. That means that it was simply hitting the e-mail address for the person who set up the loki account at 42, which is a Microsoft vendor.

the email from loki says to try "harder" and aaron's last name is "coldiron" or cold iron.... maybe?

here we go. I don't know when it got posted but on vanishingpoint is currently the top headline on drudgereport.com here's the article it links to. expect even a bigger flood of registrations and prize odds going down significantly.

Recruiters could be like a tech recruiter...that's how I got my job I'm in right now....you know, from hiring agencies and contractors.

Interesting, thank you. I was hounestly unaware that there were tech recruiters. You learn something new every day. Guess that kills that line of thought then.

Can anyone help me...I am totally confused right now...

I figured most of the puzzles out but then I saw this....(should have saw this before I did most of them :p) Now....I need help on the Calendars...I saw that the answer is interrobang and whenever I type it in it shakes....and then when I lowercase it etc. it says Other on top.

Can you help me figure this one out?

Thank you and GO TEAM NEOWIN.

Although, there's one thing I need to take back. Originally, I said to ignore the weird white boxes that were showing up in the game. Apparently, I'm not as smart as I think I am. http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=17829

:o

My first post after the countdown expired and the box was unlocked was a pic of the white squares!! https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...893&st=1980 :p I pay attention to weird details and that's the strength I am bringing to the Neowin Team!

close the window down and relogin just to make sure - and try Interrobang Capital I

Okay, now is Loki slipping up or lying to us...her biography page from the pre-game stated:

"One of my professors didn?t buy my vanishing act. He called a friend in a certain large corporation. Now I have the job of giving stuff away to the smartest people on the planet."i>b>

So, was it a recruiter or her professor? And does it really matter.

Put together as puzzle pieces, what do we get?

    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
    • Just saw a news report of a Waymo driving into a flooded road.
    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.
