Jaxom Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Thanks to everyone that posted the locations of the white boxes. I finally found the last one....had the same problem with the posters as others.

yanger Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Iono if this is just me, but I was having problems entering the answer into "seven card monte" ... at first, it would give me the message at the top right "OTHER" in bold white, kept reading in the forums saying logging out and back in would make it work, yet it didn't work - actually now, "OTHER" does not appear anymore, but nothing happens when I enter the answer in. If I go to another mystery, I can solve it and i get points - yet when I go back to monte, it fails to allow me to win it... any suggestions?

NUTZ Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I had that same thing happen in box 1 on the sundial. I had to restart my computer to get it to register that one although the others seemed to be working just fine. Kinda weird.

agentleman Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 oh man that ****es me off so bad i was the one that started the postcards one and gave everyone the first 3 names i even figured out that it was coins and was about to google some stuff for it but i had to go to work :( that was 6 hours ago @#$&%\ next box opening nothing will get in my way congratz on figuring them out. now i think im going to go cry in my corner :$ Chill, Hawk. Chill. Many of us knew the first (Copperfield was easy) and were able to independently come up with Thurston, Kolta & Houdini (I even found a picture of him and the elephant!). In this type of thing, we each will have moments of brilliant perception & others where we need the help of new eyes to figure something out (like with the Cup & Balls, when we were stumped until Crimsonhead figured it out). Pat yourself on the back, Hawk. You and all of the Neowin Team deserve a world of credit, and I bet that Loki, Microsoft, AMD & 42Entertainment are very surprised at how quickly we have come in such a short time.

confusio Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I'm still trying to figure out the fourth name who did the train/now girl vanishing illusion. It has to start with n, 5 letters. I found a reference to "night magic" but I don't believe is the right one.

thsartori Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I think next week is going to be history based (quad. major....physics,stage arts, history, folklore) titles for puzzle boxes: time passes, magic happens, memories fade, people disappear If it is history based then perhaps that is where the reference to the book "Herodotus - The Histories" in the first video comes into play.

SWAMMIE Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 true thatand early i found a list or magicians and there were only 2 whose last names started with n nixon, something and some other guy Ahem... I believe I was the one that figured out the similarity with the spaces being the amount of letters in each one AND the CLOCKS in the skywriting .. not to mention the fact that I pined for Henning when everyone else was thinking it was Houdini.. but you don't see ME looking for gratification from everyone... lol We all should be given a huge pat on the back for doing all the hard work that everyone else uses to reap the rewards... Personally.. I find reward in the thrill of the chase.. Everyone give yourselves a pat on the back for a great team effort! I know EVERYONE who Googles this topic gets more information from us and the guys over at the UNI site.. than anywhere else... KUDOS to all.. let's do it again next week!!!

boazer Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Not sure but I think there may be some other clues for something in the video, I figure when she says you sawed a women in half that means we figured out her true identity by breaking the initials in half LOKI LO= Lorelei KI= Kitsune... But I also noticed on the video she has her wand if you pause it when it shows it you notice the chair she's sitting on with the wand there but no legs or feet just thinking this might mean something maybe represent a clue or shape.. just thought I'd shoot it out there see what ya's think....

scca229 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Phoenix clues were finally posted. http://www.vanishingpointgame.com/skyType.htm Too bad it was too late to mean anything. I bet they had to scramble and do that in LA. Blue sky was in very short supply here in Phoenix today. Also the sky writing style was definately Southern California. I remember seeing that type all the time while going to school just outside LA in the 80's-early 90's.

I'll give you your watch back" , on the first video she puts 4 watches in a box but keeps one in her hands, also on the 2nd video she is playing with it - doors, name plates - book swaps ....

elizium Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 The Austin event was rained out... skywriting and rain tend not to mix very well. I was planning on driving up this morning from Corpus. It figures that the one that was close enough to drive to would be cancled. Box 2 is open now and I am working on the puzzles...

GMKrullen Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Hi, Mhh strange. For what did we use the train before that change? Furthermore, someone mentioned that the 4*9 white boxes form an 6x6 grid. I played a little bit with Photoshop, interpolated the missing tiles and got this... Anyone recognises this shield as a escutcheon for some town? Greetings, eXile. The one thing that comes to mind seeing these images is the word featherweight. :huh: Well, doing some live searching I've found the most common meanings of the anchor, feathers and shield symbols. (as suggested by some historians) Anchor = Hope Feathers = Obedience & Serenity Shield = Defender of.. The unlocking of the 4th puzzle box at the Seattle event on the 27th is a 4 hour drive from where I am. I may just take a drive down to check it out. Is anyone else planning and able to attend one of these events?
