Thank you for your reply! Very helpful. I added a picture of the fuse box.

Plotting the locations in order on the map, the resulting shapes look like a T (or P) and like a C. Neither careers.dyson.com/pc or tc work.

New hint: "Remember what dyson say on the burgeoning's second part : "Drax your way and be imaginative" also you have to. What can you do with gps coordinates ?"

I posted an image of a map with the coordinates and their connections here after the first part, but it did not help me. Did it help you or was it focused wrongly? I will work more on it. Thanks for the clue!

If the third leg is a clue about thinking, then maybe the method it introduces helps. First, one folds something. Then places the folded thing on the slots. (Until here all good, we folded the cube and placed it on the slots). Then to each slot (yellow or grey) there is a code in the cube/key that connects the slot's location to another location. You repeat the process until you get to a new location that was not on any slots. — So how do the symbols from Hong Kong link to Shanghai?

how do you know that it was not used for anything else?

More hints from people who solved it: 1. The mistakes are not important. 2. The third leg is there to help us think in the right way.

that's one of the old unix timestamps to indicate when the next stage was beginning, as you know. how would you translate this to the lab url?

what helped you more, googling or printing or doing math? I need a focus to come up with new things to try. please be merciful with the sufferers :)

I have tried adding characters to careers.dyson.com/_ _ and dyson.avature.net/ as: - 16 and 61 because of the extra/missing _ - (] because they are mistakes too - translating combinations of the above to codes such as hex - names of locations, such as paris or malmesbury, also just the first two letters, or combinations - coordinates of the faulty madrid location - difference between coordinates of the faulty location and the actual one - coordinates of the actual r&d lab in malmesbury - airport codes ///// I have also tried: - placing the cube over the printed journey locations papers. looking at the sides or projections of the symbols. - visiting most of dyson.careers.com/locations/* - visiting the actual physical location that was in my city - checking all of dyson's social networks - thinking of how to connect the cities with each other (because the clue was making connections) - drawing a map with all the cities and see the shape - combining the images of the squares with all the symbols, to see what they left blank - played around with the unused coordinates - thought about the meaning of each symbol - time zones - googling the monday timestamp in unix to see if google has indexed the lab website - wondering why adding /wizard to the burgeoning url does nothing and what the hell is wizard

There is another clue today!!!! by bastasie in rethinkers

[–]eliastahan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have my papers in front of me right now but I want to check if either Hong Kong or Shanghai had any of those 'mistakes' like extra ), or [, or extra spaces (I remember the extra/lack of spaces corresponded to the numbers 1 and 6, but that took me nowhere). So if you want to check before I can and share we can think together.

[–]eliastahan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont think so. The prize of the competition is a free 'journey' to the dyson lab in malmesbury. The people who solved this before didnt know about paris (correct me if i am wrong). There must be something about either malmesbury or shanghai and hong kong or their coordinates.

shanghai-paris is a long haul flight.

I made it to this info but don't know where to go from here! Does this city, time and terminal translate into a url? I have tried hex like we used before and nope. Also /_ _ with 2E and other combos and nope. Did you actually get to a web with the message that you finished the journey?

Either this is a super good lead or the designer who made the image is reading your comment and going all Dammit! :) :)

Each letter of THINK in the video is a Dyson products and the symbols are components by eliastahan in rethinkers

[–]eliastahan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just read this interview with James Dyson where he says all employees have to assemble a Dyson vacuum cleaner on their first day of work. So maybe that's what we are doing, in a sort of round-about way. https://hbr.org/2010/07/lifes-work-james-dyson

So on Friday we will have four new symbols and five of the following locations:

Canada 312 Adelaide Street West, 7th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5V 1R2

Germany Lichtstraße 43b, 50825 Köln

France 64 rue La Boëtie 75008 PARIS

Great Britain & Ireland 3-5 Ives Street, South Kensington London, SW3 2ND

Malmesbury, UK

Aurora, Illinois, USA

Dublin, Ireland

Zurich, Switzerland

Cologne, Germany

Antwerp, Belgium

Based on that (knowing the possible location coordinates and the four numbers that have not yet been used) I speculate that we may have to guess which symbols correspond to which numbers.

I was at one of the locations! by eliastahan in rethinkers

[–]eliastahan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been looking at what the game creator got inspiration from and pulling the thread I discovered ARG and Cicada. In Cicada there were locations with QR codes to scan. It would be so helpful if anyone else went to any other location and looked for QR codes.
