Now I'm not certain, but I am pretty sure she was breathing in all the videos. that just has to be a clue.

[/sarcasm]

ROFL, I LOVE IT !!!! you made my day !!! ... hmmmm didi you ?

This made me laugh too:) Been lurking since box 1 was open, but you folks were quicker than I am. I had nothing to contribute to the cause, so I didn't add to the backround noise. Thanks for the help solving the hard stuff in this game:)

On the Meta puzzle, or riddle if you prefer, I think that the answer the "word" we're looking for isn't necessarly in the final destination. I think it could be a combination of all those clues and way points that we have to date. Just need the "Ureka" moment for someone to put this together.

Thanks for sharing everyone and good luck in the drawing:)

Noone has still recive a mail that say him/her win? :)

I'd guess that probably if somebody enters the correct answer, give them some time to check

the answers, that page will vanish ...

So I have the suspicion that nobody came with the correct answer yet.

I still believe (I know, I know, I said it n-times already) that the correct answer is NOT the names

of the four sisters, we still seem to be fixated on that and not exploring other alternatives.

From several of the puzzles we learned that many of the solutions to the riddles were not the

actual answer for the puzzle, just a pointer or link to it. We may be in a similar situation here,

where Lorelei/Loreley, Odessa, Kara, and ????, could be just a hint to construct the correct answer.

I may be wrong and thinking too deep about what represents a logical answer and what the

guys that put it together used as a reference for it, but as I said before, if the asumption is that

the L.O.K.I.'s sisters are from Japan or japanese descent, there is a big inconsistency between the

names we are guessing and what is common practice or in some cases "a rule" on how names

are picked in Japan. And why Japan ? we know she is not from China, but could be from some

other country around there. Again I may be totally wrong, but for me the "sisters name theory"

doesn't make any sense as the "final answer".

Going back to the videos, what do we know about each sister that make her different to the others,

and may provide additional clues about "who she is" or "what she is" ?

We know that Loki1 seems to be a genius in math and physics, Loki2 is a trickster, and Loki3

has a photographic memory, what about Loki4 ?

what about Loki4 ?

My .02

Well Loki 4 seems to do well in "vanishing". We cannot associate with the whole general idea of "four". There are so many!, Four main elements in the world (earth, water, fire, air..) ...so THATS NOT IT.

Hmm...Im still thinking we've missed something along the way. What has happened to her PI gpa? We did not crack that one :(

AND...Lorelei, Odessa, Kara, _ _ _ _ _ _ .....are DEFINETLY not their names. The fact that she signed the correspondence as L.O.K.I. is giving us an extra hint that these four words are a HINT to her REAL NAME...

Hmm...but the sad thing is...we KNOW her real name :( ....anyone wishes to sacrafice their chance and enter that? :) lol

I think it makes complete sense that IVY is the answer. TANLI suggests that the answer will be a Latin anagram - which HARDEE was (for Hedera/Ivy). To get an anagram that leads to both a latin word AND a common female name is more than mere coincidence.

The "what, is, my, name" request seems to ask for four answers separated by commas - which we now have.

I think we're just grasping at straws here so the game won't be over - though I think it already is.

Lorelei, Odessa, Kara, Ivy

They clearly were running out of time and made the last puzzle a little too difficult - so they essentially handed us Hardee - I doubt it's going to be any harder than the answer above.

I'm now looking forward to the launch of MS's new OS - "Gates for Windows" perfect for your computer in the ghetto.

BTW, anyone has any inside on the Chinese Seven Brothers? We only know what the cover looks like, and the author. (MS never intended for anyone to BUY anything to solve any of these puzzles, so there's something else...)

Hmm....

I think someone just mentioned above that HARDEE is an odd name with two ee's at the end. perhaps we can re-arrange it ..as stated above, into ADHERE (one word, i think..not two)...or HEADER...no? anything? thoughts? disses? yell at me? something!! lol

Im looking at the "Physics" definition..hmm...

Are peopole seriously still trying to come up with a better answer than the LATIN ANAGRAM "hedera"?

Good luck with that...there's a handful of hours left to solve this (though I think it's already been done)

If there were more to accomplish, don't you think they'd be dropping more clues? Hell, within hours of us stumbling through the roamingroaming puzzle they were giving us hints - there are now no more hints because there's nothing left to solve.

NO NO Think about it. Adhere means to "join things in, to make them together" ...maybe we're supposed to join names together??

I just had the same problem. Go to a box and login there as well. Close the box after login and go to lokiv

Thanks, I'll try. Im sure it will work

Adhere means "stick to" - has nothing to do with mixing things together

1. To stick fast by or as if by suction or glue.

2. To remain devoted to or be in support of something: adhered to her beliefs.

3. To carry out a plan, scheme, or operation without deviation: We will adhere to our plan.

THIS GAME IS OVER

Who said that ?

From the official Rules:

"Grand Prize: The Grand Prize Winner will be selected from all eligible entries received

in a random drawing to take place on January 31, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. (ET).

...

First through Fourth Prize: The remaining potential winners will be selected from all eligible

entries received in a random drawing to take place on February 1, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. (ET).

...

Meta Puzzle Bonus: The first individual to correctly solve the Meta Puzzle will automatically receive

the AMD Signature Chip Bonus, which means their name will be inscribed on each AMD Athlon 64 FX

chip manufactured from the time of the award through March 31, 2007. If you are deemed the recipient

of this Meta Puzzle Bonus, follow the instructions presented at time of notification or receipt.

This Bonus has no cash value."

It clearly doesn't say when the Meta Puzzle challenge ends (besides the time limit from AMD), if you

strongly believe you have the right answer just enter it, but don't patronize others that want to keep

thinking and working towards finding a more logical outcome.

I've had a problem for days now. I'm missing one of the puzzle pieces, but I've been through every game and nailed them all.

The Gravity Lock puzzle piece in Box 2 comes back when I press refresh, so I'm unsure if that's the missing piece. (Clicking on it when it re-appears does nothing).

Could someone with all 36 puzzle pieces go back to gravity lock, click refresh, and see if the piece reappears for them? That will tell me whether it's a common bug, and maybe thats not the piece I'm missing after all!!

Have you tried to install the latest version of the macromedia flash player ?

Ok, what we can make of the following relationships:

- Lorelei/Loreley: Math, physics, pi

- Odessa: magic, stage art, trickster

- Kara: Photographic memory

- Hardee: Dissapear

?

Not sure where I'm getting into but check for connections with Star Trek ...

At least Lorelei and Odessa seem to be connected somehow ...

Add Kara to the list ... she is one Star Trek character

Just thinking out loud, nothing concrete yet ..
