Vanishing Awards


Recommended Posts

Awards for the best MISS-clues, or miscues. The funniest, wildest, stupidest, smartest, etc. solutions/clues that we all thought we had figured out that turned out to be nothing but our imaginations.

Some people here went off on some wild tangents that were off the wall. When this contest is finished we'll know more of what was right and wrong. But we can get started with the awards now.

Post the "Best" Solutions here.

Sounds like fun.

OK I'll start with one. At some moment many of us were almost close to accept that "she" was a "he",

it was really funny to read about many conspiracy theories related to his/her sex change.

Cheers

Funniest Solution to Nothing Award

I still think that shadow of the light fixture on the wall she was motioning to was a shadow of her Kitsune foxtail... yeah

Funniest Final Question Solution

Dave

whitejames,

please enlighten me with your brilliance...what did you come up with for the final answer?? And how did you come to that conclusion?? Sure I'm thinking into things way too much, but we all are!!

That wasn't my real answer, but just a thought...

I know you were just joking, silkysmooth. I thought it was a hilarious joke, I liked it! Especially with the I'm going to bed now at the end. Funny stuff!

As for my brilliance, well that foxtail idea is the extent of it %)

I'll enter my great guess...

If you look at a phone and enter the Left, right, up down thing, you can end up with only two sets of phone numbers missing the last number (which we hadn't gotten yet) for a 7 digit phone number. Add an appropriate area code, like 425 (Microsofts area) and in all cases you get the Bellevue Westin, a hotel that is often used for Microsoft guests and has a striking resemblence to the challenge video hotel room. So I figured if I could just ask for the correct name, I would find Loki.

Ok,..... I was wrong but it looked good at the time!

Let us not forget PI - pi was everywhere in this game with massive speculation about its significance...anyone find that significance yet?

Oh, and the cat/fox "image" in the second video that was really her arm from the previous frame

BTW - who has been noticing "clues" in other parts of their life completely unrelated to VPG? I'm anagramming everything now...it's a disease.

    • Lol I had one of these turn faulty in Jan, guess it wasn't just bad luck lol
    • I'm team Rossmann all the way. I have the exact same NVME, altough not in an array like him.
    • It had gone weeks ago. Although thinking about it I'm on the beta.
    • They thought value of their goods would forever only drop like it used to and didn't account for sudden increase in price because of all the Ai hype. Tough luck Samsung, don't try to weasel this one out. Also American customer protection laws are a**. In Europe, you need to be compensated for a functioning product of same or better characteristics (not same price point as when it was originally bought!) if it can't be repaired and when you receive a replacement product your warranty starts from scratch because you received a different item than you previously had and old warranty thus cannot apply to it anymore. If your actual item was successfully repaired, warranty gets extended for the period the item was in service. If item is repaired to a significant extent, warranty also starts over from scratch because major part of it was replaced. Americans need to fight to get this kind of consumer protections because they are constantly getting screwed over.
    • Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates by Taras Buria Patch Tuesday updates arrive every month, bringing users new features and security updates. To make sure customers have access to the most recent images, Microsoft also releases updates to the Media Creation Tool app, its official utility for Windows 11 installation. Today, the company pushed new ISOs to Media Creation Tool, allowing you to create images with the June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates. With the latest update, the Media Creation Tool now downloads KB5094126. It is Windows 11 version 25H2, build 26200.8655, which is also available via Windows Update. Note that the app itself remains on the previous version, which you can check in Properties > Details. The only change is that it now downloads a more recent Windows 11 build, so the only way to check is to download an ISO. The June 2026 Patch Tuesday update is a special release for Windows 11, as it brings a new performance profile to make the operating system more responsive and snappier when rendering various user interface surfaces, including the Start menu, quick settings, and more. It does so by spiking processor speeds for a brief moment, resulting in higher loads for a second or two. The so-called “Low latency profile” is rolling out gradually, but you can force-enable it with the ViVeTool app. Other changes include webcam improvements, Task Manager updates, shared audio support, and more. You can download the Media Creation Tool app from the official Microsoft website using this link. Besides MCT, Microsoft lets you download Windows 11 ISO as a file directly from the official Windows 11 website. However, you will need a third-party app to write it to your USB drive. Check out this guide if you want to know how to do that.
