Puzzle Box 3

[rjstinyc]

Hello Everyone,

I've been away from the forum for the past 3 or 4 days because I have been programming a Vista Sidebar Gadget for the Vanishing Point Countdown !

Two days left ooofff just in time. Get it before Microsoft gets around to publishing it on Live.com

Download from my servers. Sorry for the IP and no domain name. My DNS is a bit off as I have configured two websites using Host Headers and well it's a long story.

http://82.235.212.17/gadgets/vista/vanishi...ishingpoint.zip

I will try to get a Live.com version and a web version berfore Saturday but no promises as time is running out.

Best Regards,

Richard

Congratulations! Your RSVP for the celebration has been received. See you at the vanishing party.

The steam machine image doesn't look at all as far as I know to any of the designs James Watt put together, some folks were able to find that the image looks closer to a Wachs Steam Engine.

The image given in the puzzle seems to be taken directly from here. I suspect many of the inventions would be unrecognizable if they had gone with accurate depictions of the first models.

Can someone tell me which substitution cipher was used to solve the cipher on the "Balls and Cups" puzzle??

Wow good catch !! one of the images looks exactly as the one shown in the mural before

filters to add some effects.

We have missed something big. In the main game page after clicking on

puzzle box 2 the following text appears above and to the right of Magic happens...

"Keep your eyes on these countdowns for changes."

The text letters are made of multiple clickable segments.

Not only is each letter clickable, each of the multiple segments that make up each letter is individually clickable. Zoom the flash and the browser both to see them better. Some of the individual segments are like the white box segments and can probably be fitted together to form something.

Get cracking guys!

"Keep your eyes on these countdowns for changes."

I think they simply new that some of the events might have gotten cancelled. They probably had some idea that the TX air event might get cancelled.... They may have even thought that they might have to move the times if the sky wasn't right in enough places that day.

I could be wrong.

"Keep your eyes on these countdowns for changes."

The segments in each letter are probably just the font,

but the fact that the letters are clickable is very interesting.

ok, just something else i noticed on vanishingpointgame.com (again this is useless, but seeing as nobody else has posted...). The green glow on the last box is a lot larger/noticeable than the previous three boxes.

its just a mere indicator that this is the last puzzle box and is the last part of the game.

nothing more than looks

I noticed this morning that the site was too slow, I didn't check if it's the main server or

akamai's edge suite (assets.vanishingpointgame.com).

May be some follks are trying to attack/hack the servers ...

Cheers

She looks more sophisticated than a McGirl ...

Maybe instead of a grappling hook in the CoA, it's a type fishing hook?

[Tech Star]

Can anyone help me? I need one more white box as I have 26 of the white boxes and I can't find the last one.

The locations of all the white boxes can be found at http://vanishingpointwiki.com/wiki/Collection_Plate

You'll have to go back at look at all of them to see which you missed.

I have received RSVP confirmations from both emails.

But one of them says to make sure I have printed out my invitation (after I asked if I could bring a guest). Does the RSVP count as the invitation?

I tried calling MSFT but it's too late.

I looked for the one in the letters and I couldn't find it.

What I failed to mention was that my printer busted just the day before I found the invite, so I couldn't print it.

Could someone do me a huge, HUGE, favor and scan the invite for me. I'd owe you big time. Then just PM me and I'll give my email address.

I would really appreciate it if someone could do this for me.
