jammer77 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I know that it is probably a long shot but my stupid computer is not letting me map this course. Has anyone thought to do a search on the girls favorite book? I looked up the story they were talking about and found the author. When you look up the various locations affiliated with the author in both google and windows live it gives you a tone of different locations to choose from on the map. The same thing happens when you google map the name of the city (leaving off the country as is on the first page found). When you do the same search in Windows Live maps it goes right to the spot where the author is from. I just thought that was a little coincindental (sorry for the splling I suck at spelign) that Windows Live would go strait to that same point as the author of the book wihtout asking if you want to go to any of the other zillion (okay exagerated) places arround the globe that share the same name. My wife is getting on me for being on the pc all day so I gtg, just thought I would bring it up before I left. And yes I am PW'd lol. Thanks it was fun and I will check back later and try my hand at an answer. We'll see where the chips fall on the sweepstakes.

confusio Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I've been pondering that same question.Only time will tell There are other clues still hanging and I can't still find a reasonable connection or motive to drop them dead. I'm having a tough time to accept that the answer is just a simple personal name. -She said "an opportunity to build something personal that I?ve been trying to find a way to build for many years now" ... -The "Murmuring Rock" project on hold (could be discarded due the Loreley thing" -Also "If you are the first person in the world to help me find my own vanishing point" ... -And now is asking "What, Is, My, Name" ... I really can't digest that the final answer is just the name of the four sisters. It has to be something bigger, and imho related to MSFT and AMD, like a completely optical microprocessor or something like that.

agentleman Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Just a random thought on Box #4-Puzzle #12's answer of Gemini2... Not that it does us any good, but it is interesting that there are four Lokis... Maybe the answer is really Gemini2? Twins squared. Okay, I'm tired.

There will always be red herrings, but this...I dunno. Oh, some will say though that all the Murmuring Rock was for was to get the name Lorelei, and the "Something Personal" to be either a group like this coming together to solve the problem, or a "Personal"-ized AMD chip. Still, it would be nice if we had satisfactory answers to everything in the end.

genesis89 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 What i think about the locations: when i started at loreley, i finished near Odessa (google earth). isn't that coincidence?

One alternative starting point that was a "mystery" until we found what the figure was could be Odessa, that is also connected to the ODESSA organization where the nazis after the war created a secret passage through which many of them "vanished", if you take a look at the history of the ODESSA files there are several locations where these folks actually ended, I didn't try to match yet the locations to the coordinates we have ...

Dasune Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Something that came to mind- On /roamingroaming, we can see a reflection off her eyes.

confusio Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Anyone else bother to check the source code for the lokiv page? Don't waste your time/effort, we looked at all the files, decompiled the flash files, etc, since day one. There is nothing there, all relevant information is stored in the vpg site and communication with the code running in your machine is via HTTPS, for any answer you provide the client sends the answer and the server says YES or NO.

hozie1 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 keep tabing untill the white box his highlighted. I tried that and still doesnt highlight the white box. I can clearly see the white box above the entry field in the Gracvity Lock, but it is not clickable---not even using the "Tab" method. Also, the box doesnt how up until I first click "restart"---then the white box shows up, ..but again, unclickable.
