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?

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...

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.

    • HONOR Robot Phone unveils first Cinematic Video at Shanghai International Film Festival

      By Steven P. · Posted

      HONOR Robot Phone unveils first Cinematic Video at Shanghai International Film Festival by Steven Parker Global AI device ecosystem company HONOR announced on June 13 that its revolutionary HONOR Robot Phone made its professional imaging debut at the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF), demonstrating the result of its mobile videography capabilities for the first time. As the official mobile photography and videography partner of the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival, HONOR empowers this premier cinematic event with cutting-edge mobile imaging technology. Marking the global debut of the first cinematic video it captured, Robot Phone breaks down the boundaries between mobile imaging and professional filmmaking, ushering in a new paradigm for the deep integration of technology and cinematic art. In the video published on HONOR’s official channel (above), Robot Phone was used byELLEMEN to capture cinematic video portraits for the SIFF jury members. With its exceptional stability and cinema-grade imaging capabilities, the device redefines the art of portrait filmmaking, faithfully reproducing the rich tonal gradations and nuanced color transitions associated with film photography. The result is a new level of visual sophistication, creating high-end cinematic imagery that seamlessly blends atmosphere with narrative tension. The video released for the Robot Phone showcases the powerful stabilization capabilities of its built-in gimbal system, delivering exceptionally smooth handheld camera movement while preserving full image quality. By minimizing reliance on electronic image stabilization, the device effectively avoids the image cropping and quality loss typically associated with digital stabilization methods. Representing an innovative leap in form factor, the HONOR Robot Phone features the industry's smallest titanium alloy gimbal, delivering ultra-precision, extreme flexibility, and superior stability. Driven by high-performance motors, the gimbal rises dynamically, breaking free from the physical limitations of traditional camera modules. Combined with advanced AI algorithms that enable intelligent object tracking and various movements with stable shots, the device significantly simplifies video creation and reshapes both the equipment choices and creative habits of modern users. Notably, the Robot Phone will be the first product that features the results of HONOR's strategic technological partnership with ARRI, the world-renowned designer and manufacturer of professional camera technology for cinematic storytelling. From Cannes to Shanghai, the HONOR Robot Phone continues to lead the mobile imaging industry into an entirely new stage of development. Moving forward, HONOR will leverage cutting-edge AI and mobile imaging technologies to unlock new creative possibilities and extend cinematic standards for visual expression from the world of high-end filmmaking to the next generation of content creators.

      I'll wait for the root cause analysis. Looks like it's HP, Lenova, and certain configurations that are askew, hardly "all of windows." Time will tell.

      I had issues with my NVME, it was running really slow (like 2/3 mb bandwidth) ... had to revert via System Restore and all is fine now.
