how come nobody's replying to my thoughts...are they getting through?

Again, in Number Grid, the hint is something like T.C. Stone (letters rearranged), and that is a planetary laboratory in arizona....remember the planets in the hint pictures?? any thoughts???

I'm wondering if the numbers left relate to missing letters?

I figured out how to do composers.

Each line of the sheet music corresponds to a recognizable piece of music for each composer.

If we treat this similarly to the AiRPORT game in pb # 1, we should be able to determine the corresponding letter of each line.

I will begin by assuming each letter is selected from the first initial of each composer's particular peice of music.

Interesting lead but that clue was for another puzzle, each puzzle has a symbol in the

upper left corner that matches the clue on the real events.

The thing is how "contest" gets us to the "goal", something such as "race" but is not

the word ...

Numbers grid, may be something related to "water contest" ?

BTW, somebody in the US recently died in a water contest :-).... already tried "intoxication"

I heard about that! A woman on the radio died of water intoxication bcause she drank too much water trying to win hold wee for a Wii contest. she died trying to win a Wii....... heh, I just saved up money for mine!

doubt it. seriously. the planet projection relates to the big square with the two little squares on the bottom. the number grid consists of four little squares. the planets have the same box thingy as history lesson.

Felix Mendelssohn -- INCLUDING space is "17 letter word" ...and he's a famous compser who's not listed...

But i tried, and it didnt work...

maybe his place of birth?

Hamburg...nope..not it either :(

Just in case, I tried with:

Brahms, Chopin, Vivaldi, Schubert, Wagner, Tchaikovsky, Rossini, and a few

others that I don't remember now ...

I think the key is in decoding the meaning of the partiture and how is connected

with the city of birth of the composers that we know.

I was trying to write the name of the notes ABCDEFG on top of each note but

got too lazy ... and kind of hard to concentrate with my two kids floating around

and providing additional clues ( 4 & 8 yrs ) ...

Cheers

Antonin Dvorak; A Profile

Dvorak was born in a small village on the banks of the river Vltava, approximately 45 miles north of Prague. He left school aged 11 to become an apprentice butcher, and the following year was sent to Zlonce to learn German.

Seriously...where did you get LA?

      If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      By FateTrap · Posted

      I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.

      I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
