 		It's video where the 2nd half is the original and the first is played backwards.
The "formula" key on the front would seem to be wanting a formula for the Nitinol she's playing with.
Not getting any new pages based on the formulas listed there, yet.

 		Anyone know anything at all about the song? I'm not just wanting it, but it could always have something to do with it.. lyrics perhaps.

 		Okay so we've figured on the IRC/Chat, connect the dots of the #'s the same color.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

F O S I T M N A E

will post color coordination in a sec.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Edit: Well, Color coordination might not get posted, because Bethling (irc) unscrambled the letters into "Manifesto", giving us:

http://vanishingpointgame.com/manifesto

Good job!

 		Oh, this so cracked me up: "Remember, countdowns usually end with a launch"!

 		Just in case we lose the page (i.e. someday it will all be gone).

Quote:
Builders build. Writers write. Dancers dance.

I disappear.

In a few weeks, I will vanish. In the meantime, my job is to find—and reward—some of the cleverest people on the planet. Every week I will leave you twelve puzzles, ranging from easy to.....well, not so easy. Solving them earns you the chance to win some unbelievable prizes.

Impress me. This has been but a small taste of what I have in store for you. The real challenge starts both online and off when the countdown hits zero and the game begins.

Remember, countdowns usually end with a launch, and this will be a lift-off like the world has never seen.

 		Song lyrics (as i hear them).
Quote:

Right brain's insane
Gonna use my left brain, left brain
And I know, I don't wanna be so proud
You don't have to be around
When I held you in place

It's all contained,
Gonna use my head plane, head plane
And I know, I don't wanna be so proud
You don't have to be around
But you helped me in vain.

It's all her rain
Living in my guilt stains, guilt stains
And I know, I dont...

Things i'm not entirely sure about:
Could "head plane" actually be "head plain"?
Is "helped me in vain" actually "helped me in pain"?
[Edit]Raiden thinks that "It's all contained" might be "$#!t's all contained"

Other than that, i think I got it.

 		From Wikipedia:
Quote:

LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS

linear (concrete) oriented, science of math (quantity), present and past, linear english (grammar/words), pattern perception.

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS

holistical (abstract) oriented, science of philosophy (quality), present and future, holistic english (intonation/emphasis), spatial perception.


I take this to be another sign of how smart Loki is supposed to be. The song talks about how the Right Brain is insane, so (I'm) going to use my left brain.

In My Opinion, this is just another pointer to the fact that Loki is very smart (and has a very good Left Brain?)

 		manifesto
I googled manifesto with vanishing point game and got this site.

http://on10.net/about

The vanishing point link is there but I can't see any mention of the game on the home page, I don't know why google picked it up. I'm pretty sure this one wasn't on the list of blogs with the link on them.

The search on the site didn't seem to be working so I couldn't search for any blogs from people who may have got keys/freebie computers.

I just thought too. Loki put the key in the ignition. ahhh, word play... gotta love it!

 		I heard the lyrics as
Quote:
right/write brain's insane
gonna use my left brain
left brain
and i/eye no/know
i don't wanna be so/sew proud
you/ewe don't have to/too be around/a round
when/win
i
help
you
in play
it's all/awl contained
gonna use my head plane/plain
head plane
i don't wanna be so proud
you don't have to be around
when you
held
me
in pain
it's all her rain/reign
living in my guilt/gilt stains
guilt stains
and i know
i don't wanna...


thinking about this a little more, it made sense that we were assuming what certain words were. I don't see a real answer there, though...

I couldn't find any of these significant lyric fragments on Dogpile or Google. The song's in simple 4/4 time.

It would make sense to take apart the melody line. Later.

To remind you all of left brain characteristics:

Rational
* Responds to verbal instructions
* Problem solves by logically and sequentially looking at the parts of things
* Looks at differences
* Is planned and structured
* Prefers established, certain information
* Prefers talking and writing
* Prefers multiple choice tests
* Controls feelings
* Prefers ranked authority structures
