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.

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!

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?
