IGDELI, Hakkari

Just submitted: Lorelei Odessa Kara Igdeli

OK lets asume that the answer are personal names. Also from the last video and other clues

lets take that they were born in Japan, then how Odessa fits as a Japanese name ?

Does Odessa have any meaning in Japanese ?

Just in case it helps -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_names

Yeah it doesnt sound like we are going to get an immediate answer to the question. Sounds to me like they are going to wait this one out until Tuesday or so.. then send out the winning email to the first person that keeps the right answer on his/her account..

Lots of people will probably claim to have typed in the right answer, but that they changed it to something else...

Anyone news about the folks who vanished from seattle yesterday? Have they been recovered?

Maybe if any of them had a GPS, that would give the "mystery spot" :p

I have a feeling that we're missing something relating to the "I" name... very nice work everyone though! That room with a view puzzle was AMAZING! :D

Two things:

1. Are we sure the directions are right (up, down, left, right)?

2. Nothing too significant, but I noticed the names seem to be in order. First we got on_the_run (lorelei), then collectionplate (odessa), then more_answers (kara), then roamingroaming (i???). At first I was thinking that kara would be wrong, since they already gave us kitsune, but because they seem to be in order, kara is probably right.

You can asume that Kitsune is the family or last name.

anyone tried using santa cruz, ca mystery sport as starting point?

I hope they release them soon, I am sure they have to go to work tomorrow :-)

I believe it puts you somewhere down by the mouth of the Mississippi (New Orleans). Although I haven't got a good map measuring tool.

Has anyone found a program/site that lets you accurately measure horizontal/vertical distances? I was using google earth and it seems to not take into account the curvature of the earth (and it's hard to keep the line straight). Probably have Mappoint around here somewhere... if I can find the CD :p

Edit: I'd try Live Maps, but it usually crashes internet explorer.. lol

Just had another random thought... In the rabbit's trail puzzle, the solution was not at the end of the trail, but rather at one of the other points (halfway through or something). It could be the same for this one. Although there is an extra limitation that she can only direct us one of four directions... hmm :s

google earth seems to, or at least the line that the ruler draws follows the curvature of the earth...

If Tanli, China is the mystery spot, then the directions lead to Inari, Japan.

The problem is, they don't seem to (unless our interpretation of her glasses is wrong).

Tanli:

http://www.traveljournals.net/explore/chin...4025/tanli.html

Latitude: 29.8 N

Longitude: 117.45 E

Inari:

http://www.fallingrain.com/world/JA/6/Inari.html

Latitude: 35.8833 N

Longitude: 136.3500 E

For this to be possible, it would have to be telling us to go NE (up, right) instead of SE (down, right).

Edit: Added N & E to coordinates

I went off on a tangent. I used loki and changed it to Loci which is a focal point. Looking up the definition loci is the plural of locus, which is the place where dna is on a gene.

"A genetic locus is truly a miniscule existence - a position of a single gene amongst the thousands - yet its an essential contribution. We are all like that... each of us play a small role and yet without any one of us - the information is simply not complete.

Above all, the locus is a place and this - the V-locus - is my place..."

Kind of sounds like the video.

So i put in the four amino acids which make up DNA. Kind of off, but that's what I thought of.

Everyone seems to agree that Odessa is the "O" in L.O.K.I. However, I have to wonder why they gave us the coat of arms of "Odessa Oblast" (ie. the province) rather than just "Odessa" which has a less elaborate coat of arms (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odessa).

According to Wikipedia, Odessa Oblast is known by the single word Odeshchyna. Could that be the O name we're looking for?

    • App, useful & Teams shouldn't be used in the same sentence.
    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.
    • That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,  
    • Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
