I remember this game... it has been updated!

Woo, ancient history!

We had a couple hours to kill a couple weeks ago, and got to 13.

Today, we worked all day (except briefly while I was ordering pizza) and we made it up to 37. We figured out the answer, but didn't have time to put it in (it's the MSN level, and we figured out the trick to it).

We looked at the answer on one level, though. We were sure it was about figuring out what notes were being played, but we didn't have any means to install software that could tell us the notes. There was another one that we totally gave up on, with a picture of the creator's face. It was in the early 30s, iirc. Even after seeing the answer, I have absolutely no idea how it would be solved. But everything else we figured out!

This is a lot of fun. We have all day tomorrow and Monday to continue, I'll post how far we make it.

Made it up to 60 today. 60 is a music one, I hate music ones.

[Ergot]

Learn music then

Do you ever do work?

Not during the holidays. We're running in maintenance mode right now, which means that everybody is off except for two of us, and we're only there to look after emergencies.

Ugh how do you do level 3 =[

[iago]

We got up to level 73, it has a bunch of Xes and Os, and we're pretty sure it's braille, but we can't figure out how to convert it back to letters. Blast!

Ugh how do you do level 3 =[

Similar to how you did level 2.

I remember a collaboration of a bunch of people on my floor from freshman year working on this. Back then, there were only 63 levels, and there were no posted answers, so it took a couple of weeks between the five or six of them to get there.

[iago]

Nice.

We're up to level -16 now, which is technically the 99th level. The negatives are fun, though, I've enjoyed them so far (except for one).

[Sidoh]

notpron is fun, but like you've mentioned, I really don't like the music ones.  How many are there?  I seem to remember seeing levels named after the Greek alphabet.

[iago]

The greek alphabet are the last ~10, after the negatives.

There have been maybe ~10 that involve sound in some way. Maybe 3 or 4 that require knowledge of music that I didn't have.

I'd have run my speakers into my chromatic tuner.

[iago]

I'd have run my speakers into my chromatic tuner.

I don't know what good that would do, since the ones I'm talking about are, for example:
- Reading finger positions on a guitar
- Reading ligatures from sheet music
- Figuring out which chord (I think?) certain music is in

There are others, too, and several others that require sheet music, but I don't remember them specifically.

[Joe]

Fingering positions on a guitar is easy. The strings are, from top to bottom bottom to top, E, B, G, D, A, and E. Each fret, starting with the first, is a semitone up from the open string, and the semitones are C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#, and B.

If a chord is played properly, sending it's sound into a tuner will produce the chord's name, as the collective frequency will be the same as the raw note.. or something like that. I can play an E chord and my tuner says it's an E note, so that's cool.

I don't even know what a ligature is, so you're screwed there.

[Sidoh]

I'm pretty sure he's working in conjunction with people who know music well enough.

[iago]

I'm working with one other person who knows music exactly "well enough", although we do have tons of trouble with some. It was totally by fluke that we recognized the song in one (Fur Elise), since his mom uses it for a ringtone on her cell.

Haha, that's awesome.  Well, I guess it makes it that much more impressive that you've plowed through the levels!

Unless they, say, tune their guitar differently.

I knew someone'd mention that. I'm pretty sure they're going to have a guitar in standard tuning for something like this, because you can't see what tuning it is from a picture. Well, unless it's so dropped that the strings are literally hanging, but you still can't see what note that'd give.
