Puzzle Box 4


Recommended Posts

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

AMD Quad FX Platform with Dual Socket Direct Connect Architecture Redefines High-End Computing for Megatasking Enthusiasts

— Enthusiast Platform Powered by AMD Athlon™ 64 FX-70 series Processors Ushers in Era of Multicore-Enabled Megatasking —

SUNNYVALE, CALIF. — Nov. 30, 2006 — Charting another industry first for computing enthusiasts, AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announced the AMD Quad FX Platform with Dual Socket Direct Connect (DSDC) Architecture, the first dual-socket, multi-core desktop PC platform designed to take advantage of the latest enhancements in Windows? Vista™ Ultimate. As the supreme AMD platform for megatasking enthusiasts, the AMD Quad FX Platform is designed to redefine performance on the latest generation of multi-threaded applications.

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

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?

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

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.

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 :)

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

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.....

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 its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
    • Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
