phxmimms Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 how come nobody's replying to my thoughts...are they getting through? Again, in Number Grid, the hint is something like T.C. Stone (letters rearranged), and that is a planetary laboratory in arizona....remember the planets in the hint pictures?? any thoughts??? I'm wondering if the numbers left relate to missing letters?

wjaspers Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I figured out how to do composers. Each line of the sheet music corresponds to a recognizable piece of music for each composer. If we treat this similarly to the AiRPORT game in pb # 1, we should be able to determine the corresponding letter of each line. I will begin by assuming each letter is selected from the first initial of each composer's particular peice of music.

Interesting lead but that clue was for another puzzle, each puzzle has a symbol in the upper left corner that matches the clue on the real events. The thing is how "contest" gets us to the "goal", something such as "race" but is not the word ...

Stone (letters rearranged), and that is a planetary laboratory in arizona....remember the planets in the hint pictures?? any thoughts??? doubt it. seriously. the planet projection relates to the big square with the two little squares on the bottom. the number grid consists of four little squares. the planets have the same box thingy as history lesson. xoxo Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/531483-puzzle-box-3/page/20/#findComment-588245682 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamburg...nope..not it either :( Just in case, I tried with: Brahms, Chopin, Vivaldi, Schubert, Wagner, Tchaikovsky, Rossini, and a few others that I don't remember now ... I think the key is in decoding the meaning of the partiture and how is connected with the city of birth of the composers that we know. I was trying to write the name of the notes ABCDEFG on top of each note but got too lazy ... and kind of hard to concentrate with my two kids floating around and providing additional clues ( 4 & 8 yrs ) ...

omgcolinwtf Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 hey, how many points does everyone have? i've got 880, am i behind at all? it's pretty impossible to tell. it's not like there's a set number of points per puzzle and a general consensus as to how many have been solved. nope. i have no idea where you stand.

D-Cipher Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Antonin Dvorak; A Profile Dvorak was born in a small village on the banks of the river Vltava, approximately 45 miles north of Prague. He left school aged 11 to become an apprentice butcher, and the following year was sent to Zlonce to learn German. Seriously...where did you get LA?
