Puzzle Box 4

[Bubsicle]

Is 6b617261 half of a UTM coordinate? Latin for "North" is Borea so the line of latitude would be 6N 617 261. I don't know how to interpret UTMs unfortunately.

[confusio]

Hey why we don't start with the coordinates from Gas Works ??? didn't she say "Catch me if you can" ?

Gonna watch the video again ..

[wjaspers]

be aware they are all lowercase ...

doesn't make a diff in hex

[garykagan]

lets take a step back.

Event 4 video DOWN

The video you get in puzzle 4 is LEFT

There are no more clues after the video you get in puzzle 4 for directions.

Why is everyone saying RIGHT is the last move? I must have missed something - eh?

[boazer]

just made my final guess I would think it would be the new AMD Quad FX cpu ... the way I look at it is everything for Microsoft leads up to windows vista so why not all amd's hype lead up to there new line of cpu's that take advantage of the latest enhancements in Windows? Vista

I guess its a shot in the dark but its worth a try everthing in the meta puzzles had alot to do with 4's so why not quad core

um interesting on the video ware she asks what her name is.. when it starts she says abra kadabra.. say the silobles out load and move a person each siloble.. you will end up with the first loki that speaks.. secondly 1 has leggs crossed a different way to the others and one has a wond.. one a book one a watch and the other nothing... not sure if this is relevent..

anyways i have not come up with much for the name yet.. guess even if i did get it right i wouldnt no for a few days anyway.. shame... good luck on the puzzels anyway guys and sorry about spelling..

Thing is were probably not going to know whether we are right until the winner is announced etc, personally I have already entered an answer (though it's probably not right!), maybe if we all entered different but possible solutions one of us would win? or maybe someone already has and we just don't know it yet!

Whatever happens I really hope it's a Neowinian so good luck all!!

And if it is one of us is lucky enough to win it would be great if the inscription was something like....

<username> Neowin ...or maybe just... Neowin

That way it would reflect the group effort made by all to solve the puzzles etc rather than just being personal.

Anyway, once again good luck everyone! :D

I just have a question for everyone. Let's say someone actually solves the thing. Who's gonna input the answer? I mean all it takes is for the first one to get there. This is no longer just a team effort. This is a race.

[confusio]

doesn't make a diff in hex

Yes it does, uppercase is 4b415241

[Tai114]

If you draw out r,u,r,d,l,d,l,d,r in inch intervals it spells 20.

Anyone notice this?

Don't forget the last down from the last video, the far right loki does the last one.

[Englez]

Maybe, the starting point is Las Vegas, Bellagio, where this all beagn!?

[wbell]

Anyone see this?

[stunney]

could Kara be the Kara impact crator Russia N 69? 6' E 64? 9' 65

Taking others suggestions from before, I started thinking that "Mystery Spot" could be the name of an actual place...

Remember the list of Loki's flights from one of the earlier weeks? Her final flight led to San Jose, Calif (AMD building, remember?)

There is a place called "Mystery Spot" in Santa Cruz, which is very close to San Jose...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery_Spot

A connection perhaps?

[remix17]

Just an observation. Why does it say "what, is, my, name" as oppose to "what is my name?"

[Dasune]

Have we decided on a definite direction yet?

[bsb001]

Perhaps lastname, middle, middle, first?

[jmschramm]

i also calculated 1582.89 and 304.48

couldn't you take that a step further and go 1611.908 due south EAST, sorry

Also, why is there no question mark at the end? It seems like there would be one there if it really was a question... it's almost like she's "telling" us instead of "asking" us. Maybe the words are clues/keys to the bigger picture.

[boazer]

I heard someone mention that if you started at lorelei with the directions you ended up in odessa maybe they figured we wouldnt figure out the coat of arms so they led us to odassa to find the meaning behind it... that might be all there is to the directions but you never know

If by some miraculous chance I would win. I'd get it inscribed with Neowin.net.

(I have a mac and just wanted to play the puzzles :)

[Tai114]

Maybe what is Lorelei, is Odessa, My Kitsune, Name Something with I

[jmschramm]

I was considering that also... the question remains then, when did we get the clue for the other name? And how the heck did all of you geniuses miss it? Mebbe her parents were hippies and DID name her sister Interrobang.....

[Cpl. Hicks]

Maybe

Lorelei, Odessa, Kara, I____

[confusio]

Perhaps lastname, middle, middle, first?

I still believe that is not a person's name what is she is asking for, it's a four word thing.

We know that Loki is just one character but represented by four sisters, and we have

couple of references to Lorelei/Loreley Kitsune.

I thinking about something like "The Black Missing Rock"

just a thought

If a Neowinian wins this, it would be great to include 'Neowin & Unfiction" on the inscription. Without the help of these two communities, it's unlikely you would have won. So let's be fair if someone here does win.
