...WELL...im at work....an i have nothing better to do right now. Im going through every single puzzle looking for crappy things...in Box 1..Puzzle : Calendars....why the hell does it say for January "Build Bird House" and then for June...with a picture of a desert ...say the same thing "Build Bird House"?????? blah :( lol

It says those things because that's how you know the way to line up the edges of the cube. If you didn't solve this one yet, check the Wiki.

Hello,

This is my first post here, just a few Idea's I've had. been hang out at the unfiction forums. Want to bounce the Idea's of you guys.

I have a few Ideas regarding the META puzzle but can't seem to string anything together.

First, Loki in the puzzle box video states that we "[sPEC] need to find/get in through the window. What window?

In her story she says that she put up on bulletin board in front of the door, and covers it with posters/flyers/signs. In the game, she is covering the 36 puzzles with "white boxes" our posters/flyers/sign. So I turned to the 12 puzzles that don't have "white boxes," and I came across some curious data.

Our first six are...

Sundial = Helios

Pocketwatches = Green

Current Events = Horizon

Two brothers = Amaze

Magic lesson = Sewanee, TN

Cups and Balls = Stage

The omitted puzzle box one answers are:

Helios Green Horizon

>

Aurora Borealis

Note the FFFFFF change the wikipedia article, was Revision as of 16:31, 13 January 2007 "bright ffffff glow" the reverted

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=100459639

description of (Helios Green Horizon) a simular event that can happen everywhere all the time

http://mintaka.sdsu.edu/GF/pictures.html

that's all I have. haven't been able to get anywhere. does anyone have any Ideas?

Puzzle Box two

Two brothers = AMAZE

Magic lesson = Sewanee, TN

Cups and Balls = Stage

The magic lesson's answer stikes me as very odd,

Magic lesson = Sewanee, TN

there not a whole lot symbolism coming from this town

The Templeton Library (Maybe allusion to Charlotte's Web by E.B. White? *note the edit to the Wiki page above.)

but there is also:

Sewanee, Tennessee

Sewanee, The University of the South

Sewanee Review

Sewanee 1899 College Football Team

Sewanee Natural Bridge

Saint Andrews-Sewanee School

Sewanee Natural Bridge seems like be a nice plot initiator. but again I'm at a loss.

This might all be over analysis, as I have yet been able to connect a link back to the vansingpointgame.com site.

But I figured there might be someone that can contribute to this line of investigation.

I've Sent emails to [email protected] with WHITE is the subject line, and the message text. No bounce!

I still think LOki might b a lesbian..........its not a coincisence......that that emblem is on that clock ..........hmmmmm

Hahaha - what's ironic is Herodotus talks quite a bit about lesbians in the histories!!!!

I'm sure Loki knows a good pun (no pun intended; ok may be one)

Lorelei and Issac in the webcomic Black Tapestries webcomic appear as anthropomorphic foxes (Lorelei being a werefox) and both often behave as tricksters. Lorelei is also fond of alcohol and has many personality similarities to the modern depiction of Kitsune. Kitsune are mentioned as an explanation or how Lorelei briefly ended up in our universe, as drunken student occultists try to summon a Kitsune and summon the were-fox Lorelei instead (much to her confusion and rage). It should be noticed that neither Lorelei nor Issac are "Kitsune" as they are merely anthropomorphic foxes (Lorelei not full time).

anyone checked out that web comic to see if it is relevant?

Fortunately...or unfortunately (as I may be up all night) I hit on something that is possibly pulling several pieces of this together.

I was looking at how mnemonics are possibly being used in some of the clues and messages. Perhaps there was more to a number than just discovering it I thought.

I took the number I have for Loki's voicemail at AMD Austin and ran it through a mnemonic generator.

The number is 512-602-5654 or you can drop the area code and use just 602-5654...Here is the result

There are only two 10 letter mnemonics

512-602-5654 = 51-am-0-Al-OK-I And --- 51-an-0-Al-OK-I

and only one 7 letter mnemonic

602-5654 = 60-Al-OK-I

The word mnemonic is derived from the Ancient Greek word μνημονικός mnemonikos ("of memory") and the first known reference to mnemonics is the method of loci described in Cicero's De Oratore.

But there is even more....I believe I'm on the right track with this. Thoughts?

Continued... This takes us Pi-mnemonics.

Pi mnemonics are memory aids for remembering the first few decimal digits of Pi:

3.1415926535897932384626433....

One type of mnemonic is a sentence, poem, limerick or whatever with the number of letters in each of the words matching the corresponding decimal digits of Pi.

One example from a website...(saves time with coming up with my own explanation)

"Can I have a small container of coffee"

Notice anything special about that? The number of letters per word are 31415926. Look familiar? Pi is 3.14159 26535 89793 23846 26433 83279 50288 41971 69399 37510 58209... ! This sort of sentence is an example of a pi-mnemonic, ie an aid to remembering the decimal digits of Pi. Why stop with sentences? People have created poems, jokes, even dramas based on the digits of Pi. In many languages.

See, I have a rhyme assisting

my feeble brain,

its tasks sometimes resisting.

I'm beginning to see where this may be going.

D-Cipher knock it off with the homosexual banter -- it's really annoying and pointless.

For clarification...im not bantering...its actually a relevant issue. One of the clocks has an emblem of a brand name...which if you google, gives you links to free homosexual websites. Why does this bother you? It definetly should not.

To: PHXMIMMS....I think you're doing a great job....nice lead so far :)

Ok one more Clue that i may think this will help us.

Read a couple of pages back, there is nothing in there.

Been reading the forum for a week... first time posting.

I have a widescreen laptop. When I go to http://assets.vanishingpointgame.com/week01.swf, I see a spinning gear off to the right (looks like the hourglass puzzle gear), too far out of frame to see when you go from the main page. The more interesting thing is that the gear is not spinning correctly. The inside rotates clockwise, while the sprockets "pulse" right, then go back to their "start", and repeat.

So I looked at the puzzle gears. The Airport and Hourglass gears are rotating strangely as well. All of the others spin normally.

Nothing strange in week02.swf.

Just thought I'd throw it out there.

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.
