<spoiler>The sky-writing clue is 263-, which suggests a phone number.
Rather than the numbers on the cards, one pip on each card is clickable and turns the card over.
If you index the pips: 
1 2 3 
4 5 6 
7 8 9 

... the clickable ones are in positions 8, 7, 7, 4, 7, 8, 6.

Calling (877) 263-4786 gives the following message:

"OK, I am officially impressed! Good job finding me. To solve this puzzle, listen carefully and tell me what disappeared on Halloween, 1926 at 1:26 p.m., Room 401, Detroit."

The answer is: HOUDINI (who died at that time and place)</spoiler>

Gears

Stallionhorse:

The point of this puzzle is to get the three gears spinning in the proper directions using the provided fixed gears, repositionable gears, and gear attachment points:

<spoiler>
NOTE: if the picture is not displaying for you, the key is to put two small gears side by side on the far right to connect up the upper left corner of the right most clock gear. Also, use a LARGE gear on the upper left portion of the puzzle.

Then, we use an image from the Las Vegas live event's movie:

1866-1946 and [[:wikipedia:H.G. Wells]]. This gives us the answer: Time Travel (Needs those 2 capital letters)

Like the redesign. Looks a lot better and more professional. -[[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]] 14:47, 26 December 2006 (PST)

Need help making a template and category for the list of sites on which lokivanishes registered.--[[User:Drizjr|Drizjr]] 11:34, 3 January 2007 (PST)

I ended up just making a page called [[lokivanishes]] that has the forum information (and can contain other information we collect in the future.) It makes for easier linking because "lokivanishes" is referenced on several other pages--I just turned the plaintext into links to this new page. -[[User:BrianEnigma|BrianEnigma]] 14:24, 3 January 2007 (PST)

This is the dumbest idea yet. The more people that cheat on these puzzles, the less chance us smart people have at winning something! --[[User:Vortex2050|Vortex2050]] 15:31, 10 January 2007 (PST)

Manly Beach has a webcam. I believe it is in proximity to the Sydney location. Just a thought. --Kukatush

Hate to say it, but I agree with Vortex2050...
But I also have to admit, there was a puzzle or two I couldn't have figured out without the help...

Someone please get rid of the "contents" in puzzle box 1. I don't know which code I C&P made that. I'm learning as I go. Thanks --[[User:Drizjr|Drizjr]] 00:07, 14 January 2007 (PST)

Unfortunately, the "About" section is uneditable: "This is a wiki is a fan-created resource"...one too many "is a"s in that sentence [[User:Stallionhorse|Stallionhorse]] 14:29, 14 January 2007 (PST)
