ajd999 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I went to each of the airline websites in question and found the flights based on their schedules. They're pretty common US airlines:AW = America West SW = Southwest AA = American Airlines UA = United AK = Alaska Yes. Except that the airline code for AmericaWest is HP, for SouthWest is WN, and for Alaska AS (AA and UA are OK). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boazer Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 maybe there is quadruplets.. that would explain the four majors in just 2 years, four seperate obsessions, the seperate chairs differnt styles in each video but I guess we would have to see the remaining videos to truly determine that...

IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT FEET...on the SECOND video, you cant say there's NO FEET....there ARE FEET...they just dont show them. Notice on Vid 1 that her feet are no where near the ground, as they are on a special small step..about a foot above the floor. On the SECOND Vid. that step is still there...except the image is BELOW the step..and feet should be on TOP of the step. Reason feet are not shoown is to point out the cane.

kindler Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Perhaps the image behind Loki is a supernova shockwave. Did some basic google image searches and noticed some similarity. When a star "dies" the supernova and resulting shockwave is what is left. Perhaps I just need more medication.... My first thought when someone said "It looks like a hairy ball" was a trichobezoar. As in: Bezoar From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A bezoar or enterolith is a sort of calculus or concretion, a stone found in the intestines of mostly ruminant animals. There are several varieties of bezoar, some of which have inorganic constituents and others organic. Bezoars were formerly sought after because they were believed to have the power of a universal antidote against any poison. It was believed that a drinking glass which contained a bezoar set within would neutralize any poison poured into the glass. The word "bezoar" ultimately comes from the Persian p?dzahr (پادزهر), which literally means "protection from poison." In fact, some types of trichobezoar are apparently able to precipitate or bind arsenic compounds (long used as poison) from a solution. In 1575, the surgeon Ambroise Par? described an experiment to test the properties of the Bezoar Stone. At the time, the Bezoar stone was deemed to be able to cure the effects of any poison, but Par? believed this was impossible. It happened that a cook at Par?'s court was caught stealing fine silver cutlery. In his shame, the cook agreed to be poisoned. He then used the Bezoar stone to no great avail as he died in agony days after. Par? had proved that the Bezoar stone could not cure all poisons as was commonly believed at the time. A famous case in the common law of England (Chandelor v. Lopus, 79 Eng Rep. 3, Cro. Jac. 4, Eng. Ct. Exch. 1603) announced the rule of caveat emptor, "let the buyer beware" if the goods he purchased are in fact genuine and effective. The case concerned a purchaser who sued for the return of the purchase price of an allegedly fraudulent bezoar. (How the plaintiff discovered that the bezoar did not work is unfortunately not discussed in the report.) Judicial scepticism over the alleged magical powers of bezoars may well have justified this judgment in this particular case. The ruling, however, was seized on and formed an impediment to the formation of effective consumer protection remedies and the law of implied warranty well into the nineteenth centuTypes of bezoarsstrichobezoarr is a bezoar formed from hair - an extreme form of hairball. Humans who frequently consume hair sometimes require them to be removePhytobezoarss are composed of nondigestible food material by humans (e.g., cellulose) and is frequently reported in patients with impaired digestion and decreased gastric motilitPharmacobezoarss (or medication bezoars) are mostly tablets or semi-liquid masses of drugs. It's a bit of a stretch, I know, and no obvious connections. Just thought I'd share... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phxmimms Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Look at the P.O. Box 161354 . Early on, her GPA was listed as 3.1415 and then in the video it changed to 3.1416. These same numbers can be derived from the P.O Box # as well as the zip code 787 "161354" Coincidence? Probably...but I thought I would toss it out there. i look at this website http://www.lokimedia.com then i clicked on contact and i see these address.Loki Media is located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country in Austin, Texas. PO Box 161354 Austin, TX 78716-1354 512.917.0340 TEL if you remember from the first video she is talking about her GPA is 3.1416 are and in the clock it looks like the time is 5 i am not sure but is you think this is relevant le me know.

Walmer Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 (edited) Really, I always thought pie (or "pi" if you're too lazy to put on the e...what, do you spell the as "th"?) was 3.14. I didn't realize there was more to it. And you say it's rounded? As in there's more?... I'm sorry for being a dick...I just couldn't resist. :) Edited January 18, 2007 by Walmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad: Now Johnny, lets go over the equations for your assignment. Johnny: Come on Dad, I know it already! Dad: Sit down and pay attention. Let's see what you do know. How about Pi R2?

Things were seeming to get a little tense in here at times. I hope everyone remembers that it's just a game...a game where the winner gets to take a trip of a lifetime...but still just a game. :) If you don't win, maybe in you're next lifetime you'll get another chance.

godwi014 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Come on guys, be nice to him. After all, he is just playing the game and speculating like the rest of us. And thank god he has been keeping up with the forum so he wouldn't mention something that has already been discussed. (Sort of like Loki's GPA and pi) You never know, his next post could be more ridiculous than the first. Think of the laughs then. All thanks to Captain Obvious.

stuand Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I think we are all wasting a lot of brainpower on false leads...Most of the things that people are still deliberating about, pertain to puzzles already solved. I think it safe to say that the usable information of those items have been sucked out. The Metapuzzles are where we should be focusing our efforts I believe. For I really think that the one to solve those will be the winner.... just a thought... Remember...the Metapuzzle is ONLY to win the AMD prize. This from the Official Rules: Meta Puzzle Bonus: The first individual to correctly solve the Meta Puzzle will automatically receive the AMD Signature Chip Bonus, which means their name will be inscribed on each AMD Athlon 64 FX chip manufactured from the time of the award through March 31, 2007.

confusio Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Following up the lead of "his or her", most of the interviews I found and read say that the person from msft declined to reveal Loki's true identity, but for who figures it out "his or her name" (meaning the person who figures Loki's identity) will have the name etched on the amd chips. I believe "she" is still a "she", but nobody is sure, it could be a sumo wrestler in disguise after an intensive combined jenny craig and subway diet ... but wearing the pants she has on the very first video ... auuuuchhh what a pain .....
