Puzzle Box 4


Recommended Posts

It seems odd that they would have given us clues on Monday if it had been solved on Sunday. But it seems like a long way to go to trick us. Not thrilled if it was a guess but in the end this was a community puzzle and it all comes down to who hit submit first. So congratulations and good luck to everyone in the drawing.

Well.. here's a way we can prove or disprove if you really got it. Let us know EXACTLY what you're having engraved on the chips.. that way when they produce them you'll either get applauded for your answer or you'll be flamed worse than the guy that claimed TiffanyTeen was his g/f for like 85 pages in a forum... *shrugs*

"Neowin & Unfiction"

or possibly "get a mac" :)

I agree, if it wasn't for everyone's insite from both of these sites, I don't think anyone would have solved it. It took a lot of us working together and I don't think it's right for only one person to get full credit for everyone else's work.

why not just say your name?

it's going to be printed on the CPU for all to see anyhow...

just seems weird that the email comes before the thing even finishes

Of course it's weird. That's because it's not true !!!

The contest is not over and the winner has not been notified. Plain and simple.

Maybe we can get back to discussing the REAL answer ?!?

The winner would have definetly be announced by now.

BELIEVE ME, an e-mail would NOT have anything misspelled...LOL that guy TRIED HARD..but misspelled something, unfortunately...for him, lol.

DId you guys see her (loki)'s MySpace page? lol......anyone can link me?

no it wouldn't.

press releases are scheduled, and considering the scope of this contest, i'd put a dollar or two on it being announced either following the drawings tonight or tomorrow around 10am or 12pm.

consider this; L.O.K.I Said she majored in 4 areas in college: Physics, Stage Arts, History, and Folklore

Lorelei - is German Folklore.

Odessa - Ukraine Colony founded by Greece, History

Kara - Asian Comic, South Korea, Stage Arts

I??? - Physics

If you subtract all the x and y distances from the coordinates, the length of the hypotenuse ends up on a town called Ida ( on the line from Mystery Spot to Hardee). Ida Tacke was a famous chemists/physicist that was the first to discover fission(smallest places ), posthumously, and the mass defect(Physical presence not required) associated with it.

I think Ida may be the last word.

no it wouldn't.

Yes press releases are scheduled. Also, unless the person already got the relaese info in the mail and got it back to whoever may send it they will not release the name (laws and such) so it probably will not be released until the next day, given the 24 hour thing on the main prize that seems fair that it would take 48 hours from notification.

Brilo is having a blast here, lol........

There's just ONE thing (out of many) that makes me NOT BELIEVE Brilo--that spelling mistake.

Brilo..to answer your "question"...NO..there is NOTHING any of us can do to UN-white that out....

Hurry while ur typing it up now im your Blank e-mail! :) lol

ok...no problem. Any suggestions?

In all honestly, if I were to have won, my plan was to put the prize up for auction on ebay (assuming this is allowable). Then contact the PR departments of Microsoft, AMD, and 42 Entertainment so they can help promote the prize/auction to various news agencies. I have a hard time seeing how they would turn down all of this extra publicity.

Then donate a large portion of the ?earnings? to charity and a portion to Neowin for hosting the site.

After all, if Golden Palace Casino (I think that?s their name) will pay $25k for a Grilled Cheese sandwich, what is the value of their name printed on thousands of AMD processors?

Just my thoughts.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.
    • People in the '50s and '60s had the same attitude, and we're still here over a half century later.
    • So after some fiddling I was able to get it to run at a pretty stable 30FPS. I'm slightly surprised about how much fiddling I had to do to get there though given what I thought was reasonable hardware: Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 7700S I think I could do it better if I use Linux rather than Windows, Windows RAM usage is stupid without stripping the system down. But once I got it working in a reasonable state, it was so awesome! I felt like a new Bond! If anyone has any advice to get things going a bit smoother FPS-wise, I'd appreciate it.
