STARFIELD:
For this one, we are presented with a sky with stars and a journal:
Again, from the video, there was a star with a time in it, probably filling in the first line of the journal here. If we use the simple alpha-numeric cipher, converting the hours to their respective letters in the alphabet, we get: CONNECT THE MINUTES. It took me a little while to figure out, but starting from the start and moving in the direction of the minutes as if it was a clock, i.e. 15 is directly right, connecting the stars makes a shape. The shape is the state of:
WASHINGTON
CALENDARS:
Looking through the calendars here, there are the six mentioned by Loki in the Vegas video. So first we print each calendar out, and then fill in the dates based on the note on the right. 1 = June, 2 = Jan, 3 = April, 4 = March, 5 = May, 6 = February. You then notice that the written in things on the edges of the calendars all occur twice. Arranging the calendars so that all of them are touching forms a cube. The cube has a question mark and an exclamation point on it. An
INTERROBANG is exactly that, a mix of the to symbols.
REPAIR TABLE:
To repair these, we need to remember the cube from the beginning of the Vegas video. Each item has a number associated with it: 101 Dalmations, 76 trombones, 3 blind mice, an 8 ball , Route 66, 21 is Blackjack, 9 lives in a cat. Put the numbers into the clocks. The blinking then synchronizes into a morse code message: "Morse is the key, use the code". If you use the filled in sections (a dot is a vertical bar, a dash is a horizontal one) You get:
WRINKLE
HOURGLASSES:
This one is a pain to get to work. The best method is given on the VP wiki - hit start and flip any hourglass that is COMPLETELY empty until they all are empty. They will then light up the words GRAINS. This doesn't work as the answer though, but from the video, there were all those @ signs around the hourglass.

Word.
It looks like the number of little white and filled in patches on each feather are not accidental and will possibly lead to something. At least we now know this to be a major part of the game, thanks to Loki's new video. Also, people have noticed in the videos that when Loki says the word "Right" in the videos, she always adjusts her glasses:

Remember the cuckoos from the video? One cuckooed 3 times and the other 4 times. Those are to be filled in for the missing clocks. The rest you have to count. This ends up giving you coordinates, and looking them up shows: BIG BEN
Building demolitions in Vegas. Search for these dates on Google and you can figure out which building each one is. Connect the building to the date of demo. Then read the numbers from left to right that the strings cross (3795211). Remember the 866 from the Vegas sign? Calling 866-379-5211 gives us a message from Loki asking: "What line separates the earth from the sky?" Obviously, the: HORIZON
I also thought the gears might be important, but who knows. I tried using the number of spokes and the time 11:05 as indexes or similar into the answers, but so far nothing. Also, the image behind Loki seems to be of an eye. There are 13 "I"s in the solutions and answers, taking out the one in "time" gives us 12, both the number of hours on the clock and the number of puzzles. Of course, it is possible that these things have nothing to do with the rest of the contest....ah well.
