flyerfan Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 This is what I got: stars 5 clarinet circles 8 Mellophone boxes 2 saxiphone saturns 4 big horn hearts 4 french horn smiles 4 tuba bugs 2 string bass butterfiles 5 trumpet If you take the letter from each instrament cooresponding to the number, you get the letters: ioahnaap, which can be rearranged to spell: Aha Piano. Makes sense in the context of the puzzle but haven't solved anythign yet. Thoughts? Not that it may matter, but I counted 5 Saturns.

kpxo Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 all of the numbers of stars, circles, boxes etc seem accurate to my recollection. not that the video was easy to decipher.

ultradark Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 There was 5 saturns and I don't believe there was any bugs, but certainly not 8 circles and 2 bugs (assuming both were the last thing(s) before the squares). Maybe this page has something to do with it? http://www.911tabs.com/tabs/a/a_ha/ Someone mentioned something about different sounds..

notlikeme75 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Bulletin Board Chase: two soloists, such as the trumpet and sax, taking alternating 4-bar phrases (or 8, or 2). See Trading 4s. crow "bar"? four ="fore" called out in golf like swinging the golf club Trading 4s (or 8s, 2s): A form of discontinuous drum solo in which 4 measure sections are alternately played solo by the drummer, and by the band with another soloist (who goes first). The latter can be one particular soloist throughout, or it can cycle through the different instruments. Also, two different instrumental soloists can trade 4s with each other, such as the trumpet and the sax. This is called a chase. Trading 4s usually goes on for one or two choruses. i maybe stretching but might help someone who was thinking along same lines.

MaceX Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 There WERE bugs ... they were the things that looked like Baseballs. I don't see them. I see 4 cubes, the first 2 being at an odd angle that might look like a baseball?

The bugs might be some of the circles. The two last sets of circles look a bit buggy to me :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/533452-puzzle-box-4/page/31/#findComment-588267320 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperRob Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I don't see them. I see 4 cubes, the first 2 being at an odd angle that might look like a baseball? 6:50 - 6:52 in the video. Blink and you miss them. Edit: You're right. Those could definitely be cubes from different angles. No F-note, then?

amp_man Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Anyone notice the glenn miller poster is missing an N in Glenn? Welcome to 5 hours ago. If you happen to find some meaning behind it, please, let us know. OTOH, I've tried the title of just about every Glenn Miller Band song/album, some of the names of the rest of the band, various locations where they played (focusing on military service, since "Shaping Up" is usually followed with "Shipping out") and I've come up completely empty handed, so I'm headed to bed.

confusio Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 They changed the links to the event videos, no more hi-def/standard, just only one link to the video we already have... too bad it's going to be hard to find really what the clues show in the video ...

SuperRob Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 So this is what I've got ... Star ? C Smiley ? D Planet ? E Heart ? G Butterfly ? E Circle ? D Cube ? E But what does the lack of the F have to do with it? And what does the clue "Shaping Up" mean? Could the fact that the "Bug" wasn't the shape be the clue?
