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.

    • BATorrent 3.0.2 by Razvan Serea BATorrent is a lightweight, open-source BitTorrent client built with modern C++ and Qt 6, offering a clean, fast, and privacy-focused alternative to traditional torrent apps. It supports magnet links, .torrent files, resume data, sequential downloading, per-file priorities, and even imports from qBittorrent. Power users benefit from integrated RSS auto-download with regex filtering, duplicate detection, and automatic tracker lists from Stremio. Streaming is seamless thanks to auto-detected players like VLC and IINA. BATorrent includes robust VPN tools—interface binding, auto-detection for WireGuard-based services like Mullvad and NordLynx, kill switch, proxy support, and IP filtering. A full WebUI enables remote control, while integrations with Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby automate library updates. With themes, speed scheduling, system-tray alerts, and cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, and macOS, BATorrent delivers a polished, high-performance torrenting experience. BATorrent features: Core .torrent file and magnet link support Resume data — picks up where you left off after restart Import torrents from qBittorrent Create .torrent files from any file or folder Sequential download mode Per-file priority control (skip, low, normal, high) Seed ratio limits with auto-pause DHT, PEX, UPnP, NAT-PMP RSS Auto-Download Subscribe to RSS feeds — automatically download new torrents as they appear Regex filters — match only what you want (e.g. 1080p|720p, S01E\d+) Per-feed settings — custom save path, check interval (5–1440 min), enable/disable Auto-download — matched items are downloaded automatically in the background Supports magnet links, .torrent URLs, and tags Tray notifications when items are auto-downloaded Duplicate detection — never downloads the same item twice Stremio Stremio Addon System pre-installed — works out of the box Auto tracker list from ngosang/trackerslist Streaming Play while downloading — stream video files before the download is complete Supports mp4, mkv, avi, mov, wmv, flv, webm, m4v, ts Auto-detects installed players (VLC, IINA, system default) VPN & Privacy Interface binding — lock torrent traffic to a specific network interface (e.g. tun0) Auto VPN detection — identifies VPN interfaces (tun, tap, WireGuard, Mullvad, NordLynx, ProtonVPN) Kill switch — automatically pauses all torrents if the VPN interface drops Auto-resume — resumes only the torrents paused by the kill switch when VPN reconnects Proxy support — SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy with optional authentication IP filtering — load P2P blocklists to block unwanted IP ranges Protocol encryption (enabled / forced / disabled) WebUI Remote management — control torrents from any browser at http://localhost:8080 REST API with JSON responses Add torrents via magnet link or .torrent upload Pause, resume, remove torrents remotely View peers and files per torrent Dark theme matching the desktop app HTTP Basic Auth with SHA-256 password hashing Configurable port and remote access (localhost vs 0.0.0.0) Interface 3 themes: Dark, Light, Midnight (bat/vampire aesthetic) Real-time speed graph Detailed panel with tabs: General, Peers, Files, Trackers Filter bar: search by name, filter by state (Active, Downloading, Seeding, Paused, Finished) Drag & drop .torrent files and magnet links Drag & drop reorder in torrent list System tray with notifications (download complete, kill switch events, RSS auto-downloads) Splash screen with bat animation Bilingual: English and Portuguese (BR), auto-detected from system locale Bandwidth Scheduler Alternative speed limits — set different download/upload limits on a schedule Time range — configure active hours (e.g. 01:00 to 07:00), supports overnight ranges Per-day control — choose which days of the week the schedule applies Automatically switches between normal and alternative speeds Media Server Integration Plex — automatically trigger library scan when a download completes Jellyfin / Emby — same automatic library refresh via API Configure server URL and authentication token/key in Settings System Cross-platform: Windows, Linux, macOS Auto-shutdown — automatically shut down PC when all downloads complete (60s cancellable countdown) Auto-update system (AppImage on Linux, installer on Windows, DMG on macOS) CLI arguments: pass .torrent files or magnet: URIs directly Keyboard shortcuts: Space to toggle pause, Ctrl+A to select all, Ctrl+O to open BATorrent 3.0.2 changelog: Phone pairing & WebUI The browser WebUI was reskinned to match the desktop app — same dark palette, Inter font, flat surfaces, the real BATorrent logo (it was a random bat before), and a proper magnet icon. It now looks like the same product, not a separate dashboard. Pairing is one tap and zero typing: the generated WebUI password is now copyable, and the QR code carries the credentials — scanning it from your phone logs straight in (no typing the IP or password), then drops the credentials from the address bar. Search Two new providers: RuTor (CIS sources, no login, via a public TorAPI relay) and Torrents-CSV. Results are sorted by seeders (healthiest first), and each search now times out after 15 s so one dead provider can't hang the UI. Files & trackers Per-file priority is back: right-click a file in the detail panel to set Skip / Low / Normal / High. Rename an individual file inside a torrent (double-click or the file menu), separate from renaming the torrent. Remove a tracker from a torrent (the ✕ on a tracker row); adding was already there. Smart Paste on Ctrl+V — paste a magnet, a 40-char info-hash, or a .torrent URL straight from the clipboard and it's added immediately (text fields still paste text normally). Covers & titles Anime fansub naming ([Group] Title - NN) now resolves to the right show. Audio channel layouts in titles (DDP5.1, 7.1, …) are stripped so they don't pollute cover matching. Under the hood The legacy QWidget interface is gone. QML had been the only UI since 3.0.0 (reachable old code lived behind a hidden --legacy flag); with parity confirmed, the entire QWidget layer — main window, every dialog, the theme manager — was removed (~13,400 lines). The four restored actions above were features that backend already supported but the QML port had never wired. macOS: the WebUI password hash moved out of the keychain into app settings, so launching the app no longer pops a login-keychain password prompt on unsigned builds. The actual password still lives in the keychain. Cleanup: ~400 orphaned translation strings and a batch of dead code removed; internal duplication collapsed; an ARCHITECTURE.md added for contributors. Unit / security / memory tests and the ASan/UBSan/TSan sanitizers stay green.

    • How about a global switch to turn the awful things off instead of a registry hack? Then everyone wins.
    • This doesn't strike me as so shocking when... " IT admins do have some control over this rollout. If they choose to opt out, devices in their tenant won't automatically get the dreaded Copilot app"
