Wow. This grew ten pages while I was gone for one day. O.O

It's also now my new monophonic ringtone. ^^

Thanks Kona, Mr Toasty and Catherwood for keeping the rest of us informed.

[MrToasty]

Guitar strings?

[catherwood]

For the second list of numbers, they can be translated into:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

frequencies of musical notes

which gives the following list

B2 C#3/Db3 E3 E3 F#3/Gb3 G#3/Ab3 F#3/Gb3 E3 F#3/Gb3 F#3/Gb3 E3 C#3/Db3 B2 B2 E3 E3 E3 G#3/Ab3 B3 C#4/Db4 B3 B3 C#4/Db4 C#4/Db4 B3 G#3/Ab3 G#3/Ab3 B3 A3 G#3/Ab3 F#3/Gb3 E3 C#3/Db3 B2 C#3/Db3 E3 E3 G#3/Ab3 B3 C#4/Db4 B3 G#3/Ab3 F#3/Gb3 E3

which requires another step...

So, is that the word we are suppose to email to randomknowledge or is it a new blog for Nate. What have you all figured out?

[MrToasty]

And for those who did not have the benefit of being in chat and find this non-obvious, take the latitude from the first group, longitude from the second. So, first coordinate is (52.4012, 13.013109).

[konamouse]

In chat we figured out his method.

Post the coordinates on a satellite image map and the roofs of the buildings appear to be letters.

Kayberry - thanks for the solve (although we usually put those in Spoiler tags and explain the methodology when we post it).

Where do you get those letters from? For example, in chat we came up with Potsdam, near Berlin, for the first one.

Two items of note:
1) I emailed it over to randomknowledgeSPLATgmail.com, just to see. No immediate errors...

[catherwood]

taking what enaxor gave us in chat, i'll elaborate on how that was reached, then give my ultimate solution:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

213 555 8148 LETS COUNT FIFTEEN THIRTYTHREE DIVIDED BY NEGATIVE ANSWER 2,1 = C - COUNT 3,5 = E - FIFTEEN 5,5 = D - DIVIDED 8,1 = A - ANSWER 4,8 = H - THIRTYTHREE (assuming an error in the phone number, the word would be CEDAR, but it doesn't matter for the final answer below) 617 555 9117 FISHING SALMON IN THE DEVOUT YELLOW HIDEOUT AT NIGHT 6,1 = Y - YELLOW 7,5 = O - HIDEOUT 5,5 = U - DEVOUT 9,1 = N - NIGHT 1,7 = G - FISHING 932 555 1972 DRIFTWOOD BEACH IS MY PENPALS FAVORITE DESTINATION FOR REST 9,3 = S - REST 2,5 = H - BEACH 5,5 = A - PENPALS 1,9 = D - DRIFTWOOD 7,2 = E - DESTINATION 332 555 4911 KEYS REACH SECRETS BOUNTIFUL REPEATS 3,3 = C - SECRETS 2,5 = H - REACH 5,5 = A - REPEATS 4,9 = L - BOUNTIFUL 1,1 = K - KEYS

Given that, I leap to:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

CEDAH YOUNG SHADE CHALK taking the diagonal, or indexing 1,1 = C 2,2 = O 3,3 = A 4,4 = L for the solution of COAL

and now to try emailing that somewhere...

[enaxor]

This may or may not be a solve or partial sovle...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

by breaking up the numbers in pairs, and using the first number as word count , and second as letter count. I can make four words from each recording. 1. CEDAR 2. YOUNG 3. SHADE 4. CHALK. The fourth letter in each word anagrams to LAND, but no clue if that's what we are looking for.

* the above answer for number one, only works if you make thirty-three one word, and if the last 2 numbers are 49 not 48.
