Puzzle Box 2

I went to each of the airline websites in question and found the flights based on their schedules. They're pretty common US airlines:

AW = America West

SW = Southwest

AA = American Airlines

UA = United

AK = Alaska

Yes. Except that the airline code for AmericaWest is HP, for SouthWest is WN, and for Alaska AS (AA and UA are OK).

Was just checking out the 2 puzzle videos and here are the a couple things I see in common,

Here in the first video she is using her right hand to tilt her glasses..

Now in the second video she uses her left hand to tilt her glasses...

First video shows feeet

second video no feet but with wand

also she is playing with the watch in the first video, then in the second she has a neclace on...

btw has any1 been able to figure out what the plaque on the door behind her says I cant get a good still frame of it but it may be a clue ...

[kindler]

On the mystery of the glasses:

She's not wearing any in the Crystal Ball image on the main screen of Puzzle Box 2

[boazer]

maybe there is quadruplets.. that would explain the four majors in just 2 years, four seperate obsessions, the seperate chairs differnt styles in each video but I guess we would have to see the remaining videos to truly determine that...

IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT FEET...on the SECOND video, you cant say there's NO FEET....there ARE FEET...they just dont show them. Notice on Vid 1 that her feet are no where near the ground, as they are on a special small step..about a foot above the floor. On the SECOND Vid. that step is still there...except the image is BELOW the step..and feet should be on TOP of the step. Reason feet are not shoown is to point out the cane.

Perhaps the image behind Loki is a supernova shockwave. Did some basic google image searches and noticed some similarity. When a star "dies" the supernova and resulting shockwave is what is left. Perhaps I just need more medication....

My first thought when someone said "It looks like a hairy ball" was a trichobezoar. As in:

Bezoar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A bezoar or enterolith is a sort of calculus or concretion, a stone found in the intestines of mostly ruminant animals. There are several varieties of bezoar, some of which have inorganic constituents and others organic.

Bezoars were formerly sought after because they were believed to have the power of a universal antidote against any poison. It was believed that a drinking glass which contained a bezoar set within would neutralize any poison poured into the glass. The word "bezoar" ultimately comes from the Persian p?dzahr (پادزهر), which literally means "protection from poison." In fact, some types of trichobezoar are apparently able to precipitate or bind arsenic compounds (long used as poison) from a solution.

In 1575, the surgeon Ambroise Par? described an experiment to test the properties of the Bezoar Stone. At the time, the Bezoar stone was deemed to be able to cure the effects of any poison, but Par? believed this was impossible. It happened that a cook at Par?'s court was caught stealing fine silver cutlery. In his shame, the cook agreed to be poisoned. He then used the Bezoar stone to no great avail as he died in agony days after. Par? had proved that the Bezoar stone could not cure all poisons as was commonly believed at the time.

A famous case in the common law of England (Chandelor v. Lopus, 79 Eng Rep. 3, Cro. Jac. 4, Eng. Ct. Exch. 1603) announced the rule of caveat emptor, "let the buyer beware" if the goods he purchased are in fact genuine and effective. The case concerned a purchaser who sued for the return of the purchase price of an allegedly fraudulent bezoar. (How the plaintiff discovered that the bezoar did not work is unfortunately not discussed in the report.) Judicial scepticism over the alleged magical powers of bezoars may well have justified this judgment in this particular case. The ruling, however, was seized on and formed an impediment to the formation of effective consumer protection remedies and the law of implied warranty well into the nineteenth centuTypes of bezoarsstrichobezoarr is a bezoar formed from hair - an extreme form of hairball. Humans who frequently consume hair sometimes require them to be removePhytobezoarss are composed of nondigestible food material by humans (e.g., cellulose) and is frequently reported in patients with impaired digestion and decreased gastric motilitPharmacobezoarss (or medication bezoars) are mostly tablets or semi-liquid masses of drugs.

It's a bit of a stretch, I know, and no obvious connections. Just thought I'd share...

Look at the P.O. Box 161354 . Early on, her GPA was listed as 3.1415 and then in the video it changed to 3.1416. These same numbers can be derived from the P.O Box # as well as the zip code 787 "161354"

Coincidence? Probably...but I thought I would toss it out there.

i look at this website http://www.lokimedia.com then i clicked on contact and i see these address.

Loki Media is located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country in Austin, Texas.

PO Box 161354

Austin, TX 78716-1354

512.917.0340 TEL

if you remember from the first video she is talking about her GPA is 3.1416 are and in the clock it looks like the time is 5 i am not sure but is you think this is relevant le me know.

[sociald66613]

So yeah, i've been tracking the game, and this forum as well, and was just wondering if anyone has made the obvious realization that Loki's GPA is the equivilant of PI rounded to the nearest 10 thousanth?

I am withholding all the smart comments that come to mind and just respond simply.

Yes

<slapping my forehead>

Please tell me you said that to break the tension.

[Walmer]

Really, I always thought pie (or "pi" if you're too lazy to put on the e...what, do you spell the as "th"?) was 3.14. I didn't realize there was more to it. And you say it's rounded? As in there's more?...

I'm sorry for being a dick...I just couldn't resist. :)

Reminds me of a little Johnny joke, with his Dad trying to help him with his homework...

Dad: Now Johnny, lets go over the equations for your assignment.

Johnny: Come on Dad, I know it already!

Dad: Sit down and pay attention. Let's see what you do know. How about Pi R²?

Johnny: How can you help me study if you got that one wrong?

Dad: What do you mean?

Johnny: Geeze Dad! Everyone knows pie are round and cornbread are square!

<drum roll & cymbal crash>

Thanks for helping me out and adding some humor in here. Things were seeming to get a little tense in here at times. I hope everyone remembers that it's just a game...a game where the winner gets to take a trip of a lifetime...but still just a game. :) If you don't win, maybe in you're next lifetime you'll get another chance.

[stuand]

MMMMMMMMMMM PI!

[godwi014]

Come on guys, be nice to him. After all, he is just playing the game and speculating like the rest of us. And thank god he has been keeping up with the forum so he wouldn't mention something that has already been discussed. (Sort of like Loki's GPA and pi) You never know, his next post could be more ridiculous than the first. Think of the laughs then.

All thanks to Captain Obvious.

[agentleman]

MMMMMMMMMMM PI!

Excellent! Behold the power of Pi! It brings people who never posted before to do so!

[confusio]

Ok folks, since you are so fixated with pi ... remember this image from the star field puzzle ?

Look what's on top of the page ...

I think we are all wasting a lot of brainpower on false leads...

Most of the things that people are still deliberating about, pertain to puzzles already solved. I think it safe to say that the usable information of those items have been sucked out.

The Metapuzzles are where we should be focusing our efforts I believe. For I really think that the one to solve those will be the winner....

just a thought...

Remember...the Metapuzzle is ONLY to win the AMD prize.

This from the Official Rules:

Meta Puzzle Bonus: The first individual to correctly solve the Meta Puzzle will automatically receive the AMD Signature Chip Bonus, which means their name will be inscribed on each AMD Athlon 64 FX chip manufactured from the time of the award through March 31, 2007. If you are deemed the recipient of this Meta Puzzle Bonus, follow the instructions presented at time of notification or receipt. This Bonus has no cash value.

No one is going into space for winning the Metapuzzle. It' just the luck of the draw.

Yup, and it will be supercool when you call all your friends and tell them, "hey dude take out the damn heathsink of your cpu so you

can see my name !!! cool ehh"

Still the challenge is interesting but I'd rather take a fully loaded laptop.

Ultimately the winner will be the person to correctly reveal the identity of Loki and her Vanishing Point is my understanding.

...But I've been wrong before. :wacko:

Yeah! I don't want to go into space(I would probably get motion sick) but I would love to win one of the other prizes!

[confusio]

Following up the lead of "his or her", most of the interviews I found and read say that

the person from msft declined to reveal Loki's true identity, but for who figures it out

"his or her name" (meaning the person who figures Loki's identity) will have the

name etched on the amd chips.

I believe "she" is still a "she", but nobody is sure, it could be a sumo wrestler in

disguise after an intensive combined jenny craig and subway diet ... but wearing

the pants she has on the very first video ... auuuuchhh what a pain .....

Maybe I'm missing something here, but what is so cool about having your name on a chip? More people will see my nickname on this website (that could be my real name for all you know) than my name on the chip.
