confusio Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 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. Gary 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.

ford prefect Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 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.

Interface7 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 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 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/533452-puzzle-box-4/page/66/#findComment-588272041 Share on other sites More sharing options...

deffjeff Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 (edited) 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.

confusio Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 (edited) Does your post mean that you've found the "correct answer"? 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 !!

dickey500 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 If you make a map connecting all the points it looks like a big pointer finger pointing at belarus.

confusio Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 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 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.

agentleman Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 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.
