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 - 1752

GLL = George Louis Lesage - Used a single wire system to telegraph a message - 1774

LP = Louis pasteur - Process of sterilizing milk - 1862

GS = Glenn T. Seaborg - Synthesis and isolation of the radioactive element plutonium - 1941

Looks like were getting somewhere on this one, but JW could easily be...

John Whitehurst - Invented Hydraulic Ram Pump - 1775 ???

A few pictures I found on Google seem to better match the image in the puzzle... :blink:

Spec on LASER.

Last week we had a puzzle where the answer for the puzzle on the page was "opposite" but that wasn't the correct answer - it was an intermediate answer. After we got the clue word from the sky writing, we took the opposite of the skywriting word and THAT was the correct answer.

So, one of these projections will have a sentence, we take the SECOND word from that sentence and that will be the correct answer.

yea pretty sure its John whitehurst at first we thought it was a steam engine but it looks more like a hydraulic pump now we need to figure out what it all means..

WE figured all these out back in the beginng of the posts like page six I figured the swirls had something to do with light or something of that nature did a search on inventors and matched up initials until found one that sounded right Glenn seaborg...

Personally I figured the swirl images just represent clues that will be revealed in a later event, especially as AGB is clearly Alexander Graham Bell and the swirl would in no way relate to a telepephone. Surely this makes more sense!?

Good idea, maybe we should just wait. I even tried literally seconds, and counting the number of seconds it took to get to the goal...

Agreed... the swirls look like placeholders to me, unless two people invented something that looks exactly alike... lol

I'm still trying to validate my first post with this reference, the puzzle picture is not very good and

even when it has that cloudy background that may be perceived as steam it doesn't show a

condenser machine for what Watt is recognized as the modern age steam engine inventor,

still a great leap to drive the industrial revolution but to me the picture still looks like a

water pump that's why I went searching for it.

I'm still trying to find a better picture to compare with what we see on the images.

BTW, the resolution of this batch of images sucks, I was also trying to read the partitute on

the composers and had to use a magnifier !!

Cheers

John Whitehurst - In 1722 he invented the "pulsation engine", a water-raising device that was the precursor of the hydraulic ram

Any images / sketches of it? I think we may need to compare a couple of these inventions side by side to make sure we have the right one!

Hi everybody,

I followed this thread for some time and now I will try to contribute to it.

I hope that I didn't miss something before. I took the laser riddle literally and tried 'Berlin' as it was the second city. However, I just got the 'other' message. Perhaps this helps...

i still cant get all 27 white boxes, but 26.

i had only 17 after the first two boxes, so the problem is either box 1 or 2.

There are no boxes to click - i clicked em all.... 18, but still got only 17.

There is no white box returning.

Any clues ?

Thanks in advance..

Nope, it's just because your login status has failed. Re-login to Vanishing Point and you'll see it doesn't work.

Good attempt anyway! :)

Am I the only one having problems with the input of the first riddle? I checked with the pictures from the wiki, but I didn't get the keyword. Do I have to follow a certain order?

By the way, did somebody notice that in the riddle of the two brothers only the last two pages got something that looks like a page number?

There are 17 songs. This could mean there are 17 letters in the answer. Each sonf may be aclue to the corresponding letter in the answer. Or, like one post. Song 3 is Beethoven. He was born in Bonn. It starts with B. The third letter in the 17 letter answer is b.....

The answers almost never relate to the cards its usually intermidiate answers or hints that do
