HOLY S***!!

Mystery Spot, CA is the new starting point. This is pretty crazy that they would change this. I just verified that it DID change.

Hehe it seems that nobody is coming with the correct answer, and I was right sticking to that place as the starting

point, but I've to give credit to some other folks that mentioned it before.

Does the forum accept upload of other types rather than images ? I've no problem to post a copy of the spreadsheet

I'm using.

Cheers

Does your post mean that you've found the "correct answer"?

It seems more likely to me that each direction would take you to a specific place, and each place would be a clue to figuring out the word (which is the important part) , maybe spelling it out or something.

Here is a thought

what, is, my, name

minae cattleya noji

whatismyname minus MINAE leaves whatsmy

could whatsmy be an anagram for a name

minae ______ cattleya noji

If you start from Mystery Point, CA, you come somewhere in Mississippi Stati... This state id is MS, that is same tham Microsoft...Should this be a clue we are in a right way?

Well, I thought back to my physics days and came up with superposition.

if you go, 5000 to the right and 4000 to lef the left, you really only went 1000 to the right. You don't have to do all the different direction, jsut find the master direction.

Considering right and up as positive, add rights with lefts, and down with ups. You get 1582.89 right and 304.48 down.

Starting anywhere in Ca you bascially get somewhere just west of the Mississippi.

I search around looking for a city with an I starting it and found Itasca Texas.

I'm going with Itasca.

But, feel free to use my idea of superpostion to find your own city. If only we had the mystetious spot.

If you assume Mystery Spot CA is M.S. ca, that's in San Fransico. Then, it's 1582.89 right and 304.48 down is almost exactly Iredell Texas.

Lorelei, Odessa, Kara, Iredell

Or Irving.

umm...or INGRAM...thats what i used

It's Mystery Spot, CA not Mystery Point, MS to MS

Yep, sorry, mistake writing the post :p (i'm italian :D)

Confusio I can upload it to a server and post a dl link if the forum won't let you. Or try RapidShare etc.

[deffjeff]

If the mystery spot is in california then we should try to start from LAX airport, because you can arrange the letters in TANIL to LA INT. as in LA INTERNATIONAL airport. Or even Playa Vista which is next to the airport.

No I don't think so, I'm still working with the numbers. Trying to do this on an online map is too tedious

and probably will provide and incorrect answer.

Remember pi ? now is when we need to use it :-)

Cheers

PS. Plz don't follow exactly the numbers I posted before, I'm still working with the formulas and probably some

of them may be wrong. I'll post all the numbers as soon as I'm done with it and the numbers make sense,

and don't think I'm not willing to share, as I said before I don't give a squat about having my name under

a heathsink, but in case I'll ask to have some name representative of the forums since I can't take credit

myself for the excellent work that many folks here have been doing for more than a month now !!

I got a little bit lost. So are you trying to find her TRUE identity? why "fourth name"...i dont get it. Whats the friggin task this time? The location? finding what? whats the MAIN thing we need to find? I'll get right crackin' :) lol

[dickey500]

If you make a map connecting all the points it looks like a big pointer finger pointing at belarus. Doubt it's significant, cool though.

[diggletd]

what if you anagram lorelei odessa kara l____

[deffjeff]

There is a place in California called "The Mystery Spot"

[phxmimms]

Yes, it's in Santa Cruz.

My guess is that the last riddle will provide an answer that combined somehow with TANLI or LATIN or

whatever combination is right will give you the final clue to put together the final answer.

I'm still having a hard time accepting that each word has to start with L, O, K and I, but makes

sense, unless the answer is actually the name of "something" that has four words, just giving

the personal names sounds too trivial but I may be wrong.

Cheers

Yes, it's in Santa Cruz.

That's the correct starting point.

Follow the directions and write down the names.

They see we're having trouble and giving us hints - guess they overestimated how difficult it is to map coordinates by mileage!

Any thoughts on measuring Due EAST on a flat map? Obviously it isn't a straight line from the location, because of the curve of the Earth. This will make a BIG difference in our end point.
