xXdEVILsXx Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Hey guys, just signed up here...thought i might be able to help everyone out. For tombs...when you click on the "fill in sheet", it slowly appears while you can stills see the yoyo symbols. They are pointing to a letter or going right through a letter....maybe that might have something to do with it. I got RTAFTFLAUCER...not sure what that means Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/531483-puzzle-box-3/page/16/#findComment-588245374 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnY79 Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 ANYONE WANTS TO WORK ON A "MURAL" puzzle?I got two so far. It is the Invention of the pictured product and the year it was invented or introduced. The initials are the initials of the inventor. Here is what I have so far.... RW = Robert R.Williams Jr - Process for obtaining vitamins - 1936 HD = Humphrey Davy - Demonstrated electric lamp to the Royal Society - 1806 JW = James Watt - Improved steam engine - 1763 BF = Benjamin Franklin - Pointed light rod conductor - ???? GLL = George Louis Lesage - Used a single wire system to telegraph a message - 1774 LP = Louis pasteur - Process of sterilizing milk - ???? GS = Glenn T. Seaborg - Synthesis and isolation of the radioactive element plutonium - ???? GM = Guglielmo Marconi - Radio - 1901 AGB = Alexander Graham Bell - ???? - ???? CM = Cyrus McCormick - Inventor the Reaper - ???? TE = Thomas Edison - Invented phonograph - 1877 Still trying to fill in the blanks, will re-post as I do, please do the same :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/531483-puzzle-box-3/page/16/#findComment-588245377 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plant pictured is cotton, after all. *Edited to add date Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/531483-puzzle-box-3/page/16/#findComment-588245379 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marin Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 For the COMPOSERS Puzzle...arent we supposed to find the City of Birth for each?Here is what I got: Beethoven: Bonn Strauss: Vienna Ravel: Paris Liszt: Raiding Mozart: Salzburg Bach: Eisenach Bizet: Paris Verdi: Roncole No one following up with this? The clue clearly states : City of Birth i have the same list but with 3 changes: Ravel --> ciboure Liszt --> Doborj?n (raiding is the state) Verdi --> le roncole so the entire list is beethoven --> bonn (germany) strauss --> vienna (austria) ravel --> ciboure (france) liszt --> doborj?n (hungary) mozart --> salzburg (austria) bach --> eisenach (germany) bizet --> paris (france) verdi --> le roncole (parma, italy) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/531483-puzzle-box-3/page/16/#findComment-588245381 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnY79 Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 The "RW" you seem to have should actually be an "EW", for Eli Whitney, inventor of the cotton gin in 1794. The plant pictured is cotton, after all.*Edited to add date Oops, I meant to correct that one before I posted, I tried to combine my list with one in a previous post and cocked that one up :) The "RW" you seem to have should actually be an "EW", for Eli Whitney, inventor of the cotton gin in 1794. The plant pictured is cotton, after all.*Edited to add date Corrected (and slightly updated) list, pretty sure the rest is right so far, just deleted the wrong line when I combined my list with someone elses :) EW = Eli Whitney - Invented cotton gin - 1794 HD = Humphrey Davy - Demonstrated electric lamp to the Royal Society - 1806 JW = James Watt - Improved steam engine - 1763 BF = Benjamin Franklin - Pointed lightning rod conductor - ????

Aeschylus Maximus Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 So why do we need that music sheet for the composers ? if the clue says "City of Birth"...and we already ahve that.....now what?

D-Cipher Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 If you add them all up, and find the average : (sum divided by 11) we get 1828. Hmm Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/531483-puzzle-box-3/page/16/#findComment-588245416 Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Cipher Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 OK here is what im seeing. We're not agreeing on the images. One says PUMP, another says something else. LOL ..... The thing about this puzzle...it will NOT have a clue in the images we get from "LOKI". SO it should be simply solved on our own ...

phxmimms Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Flip once more and it looks similar to diagrams leading to the Kings Chamber in the Great Pyramid possibly.
