Zian:

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions from [http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=533857&st=435& Neowin Forums]:

1. Did Audrey play herself, or did her husband just have her use her account to enter an alternative answer?

2. How did Audrey or her hubby figure out Ivy as the answer on Sunday, long before 42Entertainment decided to give the 3 other clues that led us to Hardee, MS?

Since these question continue to be asked, I thought I would answer them. First of all, I played the game for myself and actually I began to play before my husband did. Secondly, as Rob said earlier, Ivy was an educated guess. We picked it for a couple of reasons based on the other names...

1. The other 3 names were pretty normal or at least ones you hear on occasion. None of them were strange or off the wall.

2. The names seemed to be getting smaller (or vanishing). We thought that was interesting so we decided to look for 3 letter girl names that began with i. That lead us to the name Ivy.

Finally, I put my answer in on Sunday, not Tuesday.

Zian: Filled in the Meta Puzzle Winner

Template:Timeline

2007-02-01T23:54:32Z

Zian: Removed extra words

* A mysterious ad on the [[IE Blog]] leads to a countdown timer
* The [[Countdown]] page asks for keys.
** Several [[Keys]] have been found by using any of five cipher keys, either posted online or sent to bloggers.
** Several keys were solved by using the contents of a [[Puzzle Box Package]], mailed to various people. The contents include a [[Video-Loki|video]].
** These keys have frequently been accompanied by extravagant gifts (laptops, media center computers, etc.) from Loki, the "Enigma Director", and all come from Microsoft's headquarters in Redmond, WA.
* The countdown expires Jan 8th 2007 at 6:30PM PST. A decompile of the Flash app on the main page reveals the location as the fountains in front of the Bellagio. This time and location coincides with the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It is expected that this is when the game will officially start.
* Several new [[countdowns]] are behind a particular key, listing various cities and times of additional live events.
* A new [[Video-Ignition|video]] from [[lokivanishes]] is discovered on YouTube, giving a new [[Keys|key]].
* Scattered reports are arriving that the [[Microsoft CES Keynote]] includes more details about [[Prizes|prizes.]]
* [http://www.vanishingpointgame.com Registration available] and [http://www.vanishingpointgame.com/prizes.aspx rules and prizes posted]. There's also a [[http://vanishingpointgame.com/faq.htm FAQ]][http://vanishingpointwiki.com/wiki/FAQ] with more hints.
* The rules page lists a secret [[Meta Puzzle]] with an instant-win prize for the first to solve it. The prize is their name inscribed on each of a new AMD processor model to be released soon. Several clues in the puzzles, events, and in the original video could relate to the Meta Puzzle.
* Another [http://www.tweakvista.com/Article39053.aspx clue] from Loki surfaces at the bell desk of The Orleans hotel in Vegas, pointing to the location the event at the Bellagio Fountains.
* All of the events now have GPS coordinates. They are noted here on the [[Countdowns]] page.
* Jan 8th 2007: The [[Las Vegas Event]] has occurred, giving us a [[Video-Las Vegas|Video]] and [[Puzzle Box 1]] has been unlocked. After all the puzzles are solved, Loki gives us a [[Video-loki_time|video: loki_time]] [http://assets.vanishingpointgame.com/loki_time.wmv]. At the end of the video a url is [http://www.tweakvista.com/Article39055.aspx flashed] on the screen pointing to a side contest to get your name printed on AMD Athlon 64 FX processors. Thus begins the [[Meta Puzzle]].
* Jan 13th. 2007: The first of the two multi-city events occurred today, leaving us with [[Puzzle Box 2]], [[SkyType|clues written in the sky]] [http://www.vanishingpointgame.com/skyType.htm ], and a new [[Video-magicweb|video (magicweb)]] after solving them all. ''The White Box Phenomenon'' has been connected to the [[Meta Puzzle]] through the [[Collection Plate]] directory.
*Jan 20th. 2007: The second of the two multi-city events occurs today, leaving us with [[Puzzle Box 3]] and [[Projections|clues projected on buildings]].[http://www.vanishingpointgame.com/projections.htm]
*Solving all of the puzzles gives yet [[Video-loki_eras|another video]]. At its end, the words "/more_answers" flashes. Going to [http://www.vanishingpointgame.com/more_answers http://www.vanishingpointgame.com/more_answers], one finds a tracker of the puzzles completed.
*Jan 27th 2007: A special VIP party is being held for the last clue. To go you must be 18 or older and be able to get to the Seattle, WA event. The invitation was presented on the website.[[Media:SeattleInvite.jpg]] It gave instructions to RSVP via e-mail to vanish@vanishingpointgame.com with "yes" in the body. A reply email was received.[[Media:SeattleInviteReply.JPG]]
*Jan 27th 2007: Identity of Loki: Finally evidence on who loki really is. Real name is Minae Noji. She is an actress at General Hospital. I guess this means everything she told us has a meaning. Here is a link to her myspace profile. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=54234975
*Jan 27th 2007: The fourth box opens and all puzzles are now available to be solved and all white boxes to be identified.
*After clicking on all the white boxes and returning to the [http://www.vanishingpointgame.com/collectionplate 'collectionplate'] page, you are faced with a scrambled image, which when reassembled gives the coat of arms of the Odessa Oblast.
*After solving all the puzzles and returning to the [http://www.vanishingpointgame.com/more_answers 'more answers'] page, you are faced with a word search puzzle. When all the words are found, only 6B617261 is left. Screenshots [[Media:cross1.jpg]], [[Media:cross2.jpg]], [[Media:cross3.jpg]], [[Media:cross4.jpg]]
*At the end of the video for solving puzzle box four the link [http://www.vanishingpointgame.com/roamingroaming '/roamingroaming'] is given. The page is a clue to some place if you follow the distances from an unknown source. The word "TANLI" is at the bottom of the page, which I assume is "LATIN". Maybe the starting place is ROME?
*The video for solving puzzle box four asks you to visit [http://www.vanishingpointgame.com/lokiv '/lokiv']. This provides a video for the final part of the meta puzzle. Four Lokis sit in four directors' chairs and ask you to find their name(s). See [[lokiv]] for further information.
* Jan 29th 2007: New video appeared on Soapbox. It is a release video for Windows Vista that also shows Loki's office at Microsoft headquarters. [http://www.geocities.com/xtwilightx89/ http://www.geocities.com/xtwilightx89]
*UPDATE!! The roamingroaming page has been updated to say "Mystery Spot, CA". Previously the 'CA' wasn't there. Here is the website of the mystery spot. [http://www.mysteryspot.com Mystery Spot]
*Use Google EARTH! I have found that all the miles are Islands...
*Since these are are Islands, could TANLI then be the navigation waypoint of off Tunisia...
http://www.fallingrain.com/waypoint/TS/TANLI.html
*The game is over!
*The final answer to the Meta Puzzle is "Lorelei, Odessa, Kara, Ivy" ...if you type this in you will then get [[meta puzzle answer|a message]] from LOKI about the game.

*The Grand Prize drawing was Jan 31st, and the winner will be contacted February 1st! On February 1st, the 1st-4th prizes will be drawn, and winners will be contacted in the following days... Good luck everyone! If a regular on this site wins, they should post their [[success stories|success story]]!

Starfield

Zian: Capitalization correction

[[Image:Starfield-1.png]]

[[Image:Starfield-2.png]]

<spoiler> First, using the time that was within a star from the video,
3:15, place that into the ?. Next, translate the numbers on the left
side of the colons using A=1, B=2 and so on. This reads the clue
"CONNECT THE MINUTES". By using the minutes on the right side of the
colon, and translating then into direction from a clock
(:15 is directly right) the stars connect to make the outline of the
state of Washington. Answer: WASHINGTON </spoiler>

Calendars

<spoiler>
In the Las Vegas video, Loki recites the months in the following order: June, January, April, March, May, and February. The months correspond with the list of numbers. For example, June goes with #1.
Then, the numbers in each month are the days that should be filled in.
The dates connect and May and June's dates form a cube with April and February.
At this point, there is a questionmark and an exclamation mark, which is also known as an interrobang.
The answer is interrobang.

Cuckoos

2007-01-09T06:30:11Z

Zian: Added a full explanation of the puzzle

[[Image:Cuckoos-1.png]]

<spoiler>
To find out the value for each textbox, click on the clock. The cuckoo will indicate the value. Do not fill in values for the faded out clocks yet.

Since the presentation in Las Vegas had two missing cuckoos, 3 and 7, enter 3 in the first faded clock and 7 in the second faded clock.

You will get back the following coordinates: 51°30'02.61"N 0°07'28.66W.
The coordinates correspond with the Big Ben in London.
Therefore, the answer is "Big Ben."
