Jacki Boi Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 See this Maybe if you think of those extra white bits as a continuation of the map then maybe the white blocks down in the loxer left (just behind the words "by solving puzzles"?) are the location of the galapagos islands? and maybe this has some relevance. I realise that there are others on the page but thats just one i thought about.

D-Cipher Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 lOOK WHERE it says "HOW TO PLAY" on your BLACK/WHITE IMAGE...there are SYPHER CODES..(dots).....NOT visible to naked eye on the WEBSITE!!! :) .....any thoughts on this? go back a page and see what it looks like now I know what it looks like now. What I posted is a PROPOSED draft of what it WILL look like. HOW DID YOU DO THAT BLACK/WHITE PIC, BRO????? i have an idea :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/529592-puzzle-box-2/page/49/#findComment-588239000 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realise that there are others on the page but thats just one i thought about. I don't think so. You can clearly see Australia on the bottom of the globe and there are boxes ON TOP of it. I think it's an overlay on the globe - I'm trying to separate it from the main image with little luck Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/529592-puzzle-box-2/page/49/#findComment-588239008 Share on other sites More sharing options...

confusio Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Try with an edge filter and inverse. I also tried with different filters on the crystal ball image and nothing catches my eye. I'm starting to get the feeling that we are digging too deep, there are still a lot of clues in the videos but so far nothing concrete yet.

kindler Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Several times when I put a wrong answer in to one of the puzzles and tried to submit it, the word OTHER appeared in the text box below.

confusio Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 BTW, today according to the flight itinerary is when she is supposed to arrive in Austin (flight AA1308), it will be interesting to see if somebody shows up to see who gets out of that plane and take some pictures, hopefully DHS will not arrest her/him. The flight itinerary shows her departing on the 26th, so I'll be monitoring the media/blogs to see if some media event with AMD shows up in the next few days and provide additional clues. My .02 Cheers He he, it's seems that we are becoming to annoying to some companies ... check what the AMD site says: AMD Media Relations Contacts Note: If you are not a member of the media or an industry analyst, please refer to the Contact AMD page for appropriate contact information. We?re sorry, but the general phone number is no longer available. If you are a member of the media, please contact your AMD public relations representative.

To me the cubes look like a stylized representation of the continents of the world. My guess is that its just a graphical effect, but who knows... anything could mean something.

ZuniTribal Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 has anyone noticed this? I played with her name kitsune lorelei I took out loki which left tsunerelei I noticed on prior posts some people referred to her as kitsume , but the fax showed an n i believe. after messing with the letters i came up with elite n user or elite m user i came up with some others too but this seemed most interesting. now if its an m, then she might consider herself to be an elite muser. a muser is someone pondering things all the time, etc... on the side if its an m and we are trying to figure her out, its interesting when you search google on tile, resume, vanish (I think thats what I used) It's been a few days and at the time i figured i must be on the wrong track (and i wasn't a member here). There is a reference to the shuttle tiles and resuming flight. of course if its an m her name could be a play on the words lite resume where the game site is her bio and resume. if its an n perhaps this is a play on elightened user or something. anyways the letters in her name form a bunch of interesting on topic words so for now i'm toying with the idea of elitemuser or muserelite or in her style they use underscores for spaces in urls so maybe its is some sort of play on elite_muser or muser_elite or with the n as a swapout of course its all out of the box here and probably coincidental.

Modo100 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 What if we look at the names of the puzzles and thier solutions. The solutions are an odd combination of words. Can they as a group have significance? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/529592-puzzle-box-2/page/49/#findComment-588239262 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindendragon Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Ok, guys, I really don't know why you're looking so deep into the BACKGROUND of the webpage. It's just a GLOBE with continents, the flags of the countries holding the events, and then another pixel image of the continents placed over it. That's really ALL IT IS. I mean, think about it. So far, all the puzzles and clues we've solved have had a logical progression. There has never been a logical jump. So it doesn't make sense to poke around everywhere to try and find clues or hints. It seems like we've hit a dead end, and the only thing we can do now is wait for the next puzzle box (which should be out in about 2 days). So stop speculating about supposed ghost images and hidden meanings in backsplashes. It's really a waste of time and effort. Microsoft is probably laughing at our superficiality as we speak.

When I posted the pic with the explanation, I wasn't trying to say there was meaning in those images. Simply explaning what they were and suggesting we not read any more into them.
