Well, the most else I can get out of it is:
"I heard you two are moving to Canada"
...I think...

Other than going in and manually deleting all the tiny periods of silence (which would take FREAKING FOREVER), I'm out of ideas here.

EDIT: Actually tried that on a section of sound. Made it worse. Ok, completely out of ideas now.

Audacity uses the FFmpeg libraries for audio like AMR files, which aren't automatically bundled with their releases (it assumes you have the FFmpeg libs already installed elsewhere). You can check out this link to figure out how to get them installed automatically for Audacity: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/FAQ:Installation_and_Plug-Ins#installffmpeg

Once I installed that, I was able to open AMR files without complaints.

Huh.
I have the same version and I couldn't open it.
Oh, well, doesn't matter now anyway...

Hmm, my Audacity (1.3 Beta) opens the aml file just fine so technically there is no conversion needed.

has anyone has a try to crack the audio file yet?

That was my first thought.
However, the different texts are formatted differently. I don't see how they would fit together.

anyone try combining the corrupted text files, see if they're part of one giant text file?

duke9509 · Posted: Wed Jul 13, 2011 11:46 am

Thought of that, couldn't get anywhere with it. I'm personally out of ideas.
The PMs have been good at dropping us lines, so I say we just keep waiting and thinking.

No luck yet guys? I've tried all combinations I could think of, so perhaps it's not actually a part of the rhyme itself? Perhaps something to do with his appearance in 'Through the Looking Glass'?

I was trying Humpty Dumpty related passwords last night due to the last couple of lines of the managernotes47 file in the level 3 directory.

Code:

He may fall, bu %as;awill live.
+ h^ cracked the shell.

Nothing ever came of it obviously but it seems I was on the right track. Back to work...

good catch on the 10 characters thing!

godder · Posted: Wed Jul 13, 2011 10:27 am

Ive been doing the same thing too. I think we might need to limit our attempts to passwords that are 10 characters long though. That seems to be how they are set up. Three words forming a phrase, 10 characters long.

I'll keep editing this post with any that I think to try.
If any actually WORK, I'll make a new post.

My first is humptydumptyfalls

Based on the Wikipedia article, and the fact that the aml file was named "not egg," I tried:
brandyandale
brandywithale
shortandclumsy

All the passwords i've tried have almost spelled out the whole rhyme.
onawall, agreatfall, thekingshorses, thekingsmen, humptytogetheragain, humptydumptysat.

That's almost all the one's i've tried so far.

Edit: I've also seen two different versions of the rhyme. Only two lines difference
Threescore men, and threescore more.
Cannot place Humpty dumpty as he was before
