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

it's this or larry walls man!

if they keep this going until someone guesses it they'll probably find me spinning on the ground going 'WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP' for days. i may not have guessed anything or made the greatest contributions to this, but hell, i'm fried.

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

    • 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.

      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"
