Puzzle Box 4

[ftp222]

I need to know how you found that. What could you have used to find that? amazing....

Like I said, I was in the general vacinity.

I mapped all of the coordinates very precisely using Windows Live Maps. I chose Live Maps because it?s an MS product and you can measure a distance down to 1/100th of a mile, coincidently the same precision we are given in our distances.

I end up at the Arkansas/Louisiana boarder (within yards), by using AMD's headquarters as the starting point. I felt very strongly about that starting point and just searched the vacinity. It only took about 2 minutes once I saw the picture. I'm glad I could help!

We're forgetting about a lot of things. What about her PI 3.1416 thingy????? That never led anyone nowhere, lol

[ftp222]

I don't feel too bad now. I thought I was way out to lunch...I was only off by 100 miles (over towards Shreveport).

I know how frustrating it was. I think this would have been impossible had they not given us the map. I used Live maps and mapped everything out down to the 1/100th of a mile and was still a ways off. Since there is no way to gaurentee you are mapping dead east or north/south (no way to verify a level line), you could try all day and not get the same results. I resorted to zooming in and out and holding a ruler up to the monitor.

So what can we sum up? We have

1. "Hardee, Mississippi" (latin)

2. L.O.K.I.....and her real name is Minae Noji

3. Four Majors: History, Physics, Drama Queen & Math

....what'd i miss? :0 lol

[vidiot]

Folklore should be in there somewhere I think

[thsartori]

So as far as I can tell there is a "gray smudge" in the spot where the X is on the map in Hardee, Mississippi...basically there is nothing there. It makes me wonder about the last line of the /roamingroaming page "Physical presence not required."

I wonder if there used to be something at this location that has also "vanished"

[fishhead]

i finished the 4 puzzle ages ago but didnt click on all the meta 36 bits as i went along but it know locks out on the 4 puzzle and doesnt let you enter anything or see the metas im 4 missing of the 36 even other browsers dont work im thinking they are stopping you progress after you finish the puzzle first anyone suffering the same

I've searched but can't find where you all came up with all of the directions. I have R, U, R, D, L, L from the videos but there are 8 distances. What did you use directionally for the all of the distances? The leg crossing thing should not be assumed to be the missing directionals.

Or it might just be saying that there is no actual physical presence there ie that the location was in the middle of nowhere.

[D-Cipher]

Folklore isnt in there. T hats a part of (Drama "queen")...im going according to the "Four Loki's" Video. They state their majors. Anyone got any insight on the SEVEN CHINESE BROTHERS???

It was written by Margaret Mahy...anything else?

[jammer77]

The first thing I thought of when I saw Hardee was my cousin saying "Hardee har har har", I wonder if it is their joke that they are laughing at us?

[troist]

the area around hardee doesn't seem to have much importance. half the roads are missing from live maps... and i can't find anything about hardee, MS.

[JanderNZ]

Was googling and found some mention of "Hardie's Latin Prose Composition". Probably a dead end but who knows.

It just seem so strange that your first post to the forum was the exact location on the world map of a clue that was only given minutes beforehand.

welcome aboard....

[garykagan]

I used maps live (really needs some work MICROSOFT - so fix it)

I took my time on this and ended up right on

Hardee, Mississippi.

HARDEE

TANLI

almost there

Lets talk about the 4 names and where the LOKI's are sitting with the book, wand and watch.

Are they in the correct order?

TIME = Lorelei

WAND = Odessa

BOOK = Kara

Nothing = I...

I don't think this is the right order of the seats, and therefore answer needs to be in the right order too.

[tunie]

I think it used to be a creek. The latin word for creek starts with an I

I activated search and saved it, what the hell else do I have to do...

[madmad59]

I have Lorelei,Odessa,Kara and Male (with scarf and legs crossed diff) as Issaquena. I 'm keping my fingers crossed :whistle:

[Apogee]

I would like to see it -- maybe a screen grab would be better?

[malcolmst]

Wow... nice work whoever identified that. I just went over the directions she gave us at 8mi zoom (yes, it took forever), and got within a couple miles of Hardee. So I can confirm that's the location at the end of the trail.

I just lost it all. I tried to re-sign-in to activate it for all and it wiped it out.

Check the page again, there is a new clue with a link pointing to a map with an X

what it seems to look like a highway ...

My .02

Never mind, old news ...

[JanderNZ]

Could Hardee be an anagram of something in latin?
