OTHER means a problem with your connection to VPG. People get it sometimes when they try to submit answers. Log out and back in again.

Maybe laurel leaves, maybe feathers, but to me they look like 3-D rods with white squares on. Note that two have been filled in on the middle left, and one on the top right, FWIW.

Our heraldry experts called them feathers and said there is meaning to how many are "docked" (which I took to mean clipped). Haven't heard from them this week.

I think pretty much all the Easter Eggs that MS was putting into their products are a thing of the past. Now, there's only the type that might conceivably be considered productivity enhancements. Like "=rand()" in Word. They took a lot of heat for their "bloatware" containing racing games and flight sims in Excel and Pinball games and Godzilla movies in Word, etc.

Another thought - are the so-called 'feathers' actually keys into the original VPG advert (see http://vanishingpointwiki.com/wiki/IE_Blog)?

The other keys, and the text, is 20x3, and the feathers are 3x2x7 each, but if the central two panes of the shield gave six more squares, then there might be something in it.

Still looking for the white boxes on:

Pocket Watch
Current Events
Sundial

Tale of two brothers
Magic Lesson
Cups and Balls

any thoughts?

Look at /collectionplate - the total for four weeks will be 36. That means 9 white boxes a week. So three puzzles each week do not have white boxes.

Because 4x9 gives a nice 6x6 image and 4x12 doesn't?

they may have had a hard time putting the boxes into a few of these puzzles, like that one in week 2 that was just a video
