 		One of the questions on my test was:

Are you familiar with The Music of the Spheres, or The Golden Ratio?

To my knowledge, The Music of the Spheres has to do with celestial bodies and their constant motion in space. The Golden Ratio is pi. Strange at all?

If this is at all an ARG, there may be little hints and such in these questions.

I thought that the golden ratio was phi?

And, on musical spheres

Quote:
So the Pythagoreans in their love of numbers built up this elaborate number lore, but it may be that the numbers that impressed them most were those found in the musical ratios.

Lets start with this frontispiece from a 1492 book on music theory.

The upper left frame shows Lubal or Jubal, from the Old Testament, "father of all who play the lyre and the pipe" and 6 guys whacking on an anvil with hammers numbered 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16.

The frames in the upper right and lower left show Pithagoras hitting bells, plucking strings under different tensions, tapping glasses filled to different lengths with water, all marked 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16. In each frame he sounds the ones marked 8 and 16, an interval of 1:2 called the octave, or diapason.

In the lower right, he and Philolaos, another Pythagorean, blow pipes of lengths 8 and 16, again giving the octave, but Pythagoras holds pipes 9 and 12, giving the ratio 3:4, called the fourth or diatesseron while Philolaos holds 4 and 6, giving the ratio 2:3, called the fifth or diapente.

They are:
8 : 16 or 1 : 2 Octave diapason
4 : 6 or 2 : 3 Fifth diapente
9 : 12 or 3 : 4 Fourth diatesseron

These were the only intervals considered harmonious by the Greeks. The Pythagoreans supposedly found them by experimenting with a single string with a moveable bridge, and found these pleasant intervals could be expressed as the ratio of whole numbers.

 		I figure that question was just to determine if you see beauty in mathematics. Damned if I know what it has to do with the worth of one's soul.

Pun intended.

Zombie, were you entering data trying to find hidden pages?

That looks to be like a 404 error that you would get either clicking on a link on the right side of the page, or if you are entering page names to find hidden pages which don't exist via the navigation bar.

There should be a GBP 10000 reward for finding Jon. Would this be real?
