malcolmst Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Have we tried phoning Microsoft and asking for Hardee about Loki.. or something around those lines.. Hmm... nice thought. Or for ms. kitsune, since now we know that's the last name. So far I think people have only called asking for Loki.

ikkinrolyat Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Okay there may be more. Not only does Loki #3 have her legs crossed opposite the others, she only speaks twice. Here's the breakdown.Loki 1 Speaks 4 times Loki 2 Speaks 5 Times Loki 3 Speaks 2 Times Loki 4 Speaks 3 Times The speaking order goes for the entire video is: 24213214123412 Plus....Loki's shirts were tied different. I dont know if it matters or not. I racked my brain forever trying to make sense of it. My thinking is that they are tied different on pupose.

wjaspers Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 i'm kinda wondering why in the final video, Loki #2 is holding a very large magic wand, and Loki #3 is carrying a book. Although it may only be a way of recalling the theme of those puzzle boxes, it still seems like there's something we're missing. ...just an idea...

wjaspers Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 what if each location in the list adds up to a whole word instead of an ending point? has this already been considered? Take the first letter of each city/county for instance...could this be the key?

Izateddy Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I've been racking my brain along with everyone else here mapping solutions, plugging in math equations, scouring the net, etc. After seeing the map of Hardee, MS and thinking back to all the clues, maybe the answer is painfully easy. Since we don't know if we're looking for L.O.K.I's name or names or something on an entirely different track, I tried thinking of something we hadn't done yet. Since the sentence reads "what, is, my, name" and it all has to do with mapping, what if the answer is simply the last loctation we find? Hardee, Issaquena, Mississippi, United States? I tried that for my solution, which I have already changed numerous times! I realize this answer doesn't account for the other pieces we have previously been given or solved, for instance why were we given the tetris like word search if "kara" was not needed in the final answer, etc.? So that's my answer for now. I will continue to work and read through the fourms though. Thank you to everyone who has contributed hours upon hours to the finding the solutions to these puzzles...it's been fun. Hopefully some of us here will win something for playing along. As for the winner of the "Meta-Puzzle" I agree that the chip should have something about neowin.net on there. If it weren't for the great people of this community, none of us would be where we are currently in the game! Good luck all!

Take the first letter of each city/county for instance...could this be the key? I thought of that, but a brief look at the names didn't show anything. My list is: 1. Mystery Spot 2. Los Marismas, Spain 3. Tomhaggard, Ireland 4. Warsaw, Poland 5. Szynwald, Poland 6. Niederroden, Germany 7. Ittireddu, Italy 8. Blandinsville, Illinois 9. Hardee, Mississippi This is accurate to within a few miles. There were a few locations with more than one possible city/place, but what I have above seemed to be most likely to me. I'll try to upload my live map again in a minute Edit: I still can't upload.. get a 504 gateway timeout when I try to login. this computer seems to be the only one affected... sorry Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/533452-puzzle-box-4/page/74/#findComment-588274385 Share on other sites More sharing options...

vidiot Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 (edited) Open Puzzle Box 2 and look at the lines around the "Step up ... ... step right up!" text. Their shape directly relates to parts of the roaming path. The thicker lines probably signify more important parts of the roaming path (or "trail", as Loki refers to it). For instance, where the thick line ends under the P in Point is right at Prague at the corresponding point on the roaming trail. All the puzzle boxes have similar lines that can be overlayed onto the trail to produce place name clues for each of the Lokis. I wish I had time to do the work but I'm going to the MS Launch Event (for free copy of Office 2007 ... Woo Hoo!) today here in Las Vegas. Good luck with it. Thanks to malcolmst for his link: Trail !
