I think my wife just won to let you know. She just got an email from some guy saying she was the first to enter it right. I totally gave her the answer (I went with Iva, it means "great gift") but I had her enter Ivy. Some guy from Marden-Kane wrote the email.

I would think it should be from '42 Entertainment', no?

Serious, or are you pulling our legs?

By the by, I think that the Rules said something about only one playing registrant per household (presumably others can be used for referrals).

Hope that doesn't come back to bite you in the posterior.

Maybe I posted in the wrong forum, or maybe I am way of track, but seriously, don't you think this is too much of a coincidence?

ALL the name so far have the same meaning......

Lorelei = Melody

Odessa = Melody

Kara = Melody

It looks like it can be a simple 1 word answer. - MELODY

Which makes their entries completely legit. It's not one registration per household - it's one registration PER PERSON per household. Which, if taken literally - means that everyone in my household can only enter once. Either they messed up their wording or everyone in the world can enter despite the fact that some of them live together.

If you're serious, please post the text of the e-mail!

lol, on the piracy theme try this to generate a name (or for a bit of light relief)

http://www.piratequiz.com

Your pirate name is:

Iron Sam Flint

A pirate's life isn't easy; it takes a tough person. That's okay with you, though, since you a tough person. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!

So true....

I don't belive this. I accidently entered Ivy long before anyone discussed it on this board. Back when we first discovered Hardee, MS. The reason I entered Ivy was because I kept getting hits for Ivy league schools when I googled hardee + mississippi

Is has links about some guy named Trey Hardee that ran for Mississippi State. I know it's wrong, but I haven't changed it since.

Unless your wife used Ivy as the last name before 2pm yesterday. I think your full of it.

My final answer was Ivy too... and I most certainly entered it before 2pm EST... so it is likely you weren't the first and neither was I :)

There is a decent chance he's telling the truth... if you look in the rules you'll see the NJ address where you can send for the winner's list. If you Google that along with Marden-Kane it seems to be the address they use for the contests they manage. They are a company that handles the legal side of contests. If it is real, congrats! I gave up awhile ago regardless... Still curious what the 3.1416 and Enigma Director stuff was about, but maybe that was just misdirection.

Good Luck everyone in the random drawings tomorrow and Thursday! It's been fun

You are right with that, I didn't paste the whole thing ... the issue could be "but I had her enter Ivy" ...

Anyway, if it's true congratullations !! and good job, on the other hand I still believe is the most

stupid answer a game as challenging as this one could have ...

How did you arrive at the Ivy answer before knowing the location of Hardee Mississippi?

I admit, I did it by accident and bundled with shear stupidity and I haven't changed it because I have no clue what the answer is.

I think this is someone trying to get everyone to stop trying.

I don't think that is the answer because it will not tell you that will need to try again. If IVY was the answer it will let you right away that you were the first person to answer correctly and by now we should see it on the internet or in the news.

we need to get the correct information from all off this.

1. Mystery Spot, CA

2. 5874.61 miles

3. 1049.62 miles

4. 1161.79 miles

5. 153.48 miles

6. 543.55 miles

7. 652.2 miles

8. 4909.96 miles

9. 548.42 miles

at some point if you go to www.msn.com and search in maps it shows that the number 2 is loki and is about 14987.87 miles away but the number two in the website says 5874.61 that is my opinion.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By +samw61 · Posted

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      By +Nik Louch · Posted

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
