Puzzle Box 4


Recommended Posts

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.

Raze50 posted this on Unfiction... pretty clever catch I thought:

"she says it right there at the end..."Go to the directory L-O-K-Ivy"!"

I have it. It has been in front of us all along. Microsoft has been playing the answer all over the place. And the winner is WOW. Everything they put out wants people to think WOW. Even their website. Just think about it. All of us will be going WOW this s#!^ was HARD. And the person who actually wins their name writtne on a chip living in a computer will be going WOW, I spent all this time on this stinking puzzle for what again. And finally, WOW, how the he!! did they get that from those clues. Just kidding. We all seem to be spinning our wheels. I hope after the close of the game tonight they post whatever the answer is so we can all go WOW, now I'm going to bed to get the long deserved rest from this game. Now send us some laptops :)

<start>

<morning>

Kataka rises first; the sun follows.

I make tea

Two cranes stand still in the water of the

pond. Which is the reflection?

</morning>

<workday>

Her mind: a swallow

Mine: a stream

Together: harmony

</workday>

<evening>

Fierce thought mellows, sun melts

Slips sizzling into the sea.

Outside my paper walls

Fireflies write poetry on the night air

</evening>

<sleep>

Drift of hair

Rise of chest, and fall

Slow tide

After years in millions, the mysterious sea

Still rocks and whispers

In her animal body.

</sleep>

<repeat>

I fully support the loki/ivy tie in at this point.(on a maybe ending small note) sorry. 0_o

Praise God for spinning chairs. I am already spinning and WHOOPing, if I were on the ground my but would be pollished

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.

Hey guys, I'm from Unfiction. Is this true? If so could you post the e-mail for us all to see brilo211, please!!! I'd like to know if I can stop overloading my brain.

Thanks

EDIT: THANK YOU BRILO211

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
