 		missing line
there is a line between 5 and 1, 3 and 10 and 10 and 2, you have to zoom in to see them though (right click - zoom in)... however, there is defintely nothing between 9 and 12

 		I haven't seen this posted anywhere yet.

5 7 1 4 9 12 11 3 6 10 8 2

sequence into notes:
C | C# | D | D# | E | F | F# | G | G# | A | A# | B

and then re-arranged from 1 - 12
D | B | G | D# | C | G# | C# | A# | E | A | F# | F |

Has anyone played this tune?

If that's the case then I presume it's just another glitch then. I imagine it's the same as how some of the lines between the numbers in the array seem to be bolder than others.

 		Piano puzzle.
puzzle two took clues from puzzle one.

Here is a leap of thought.

Maybe puzzle 3 gets its solution from puzzle 2.

Watch the movie "National Treasure"
The code on the back of the Declaration of Independance gave me the idea.

Perhaps We use the numbers as a sort of indicator of letters to use.
Line:Word:Letter

(of course this completely ignores the GAGA, and Queen clues)

And also there are zeros. So... we would have to think like a coder.
word "0" is the first word. Does anyone know a forum still working
on this. Seems all of you have given up.

 		more possibilities.
This one is a little more abstract. but maybe its the key. Has nothing to do with queen. But perhaps its the answer. I pulled it off another forum that has also died on interest on this.

Quote:


I was thinking that, also thinking, the sequence if played on keyboard is 3- 10 -3 -10 so I have been running down combinations of the number that are inside those two grids keys and trying them on the key pad in face 4...
the keypad needs 18 numbers which are 6 sets of three (the amount of numbers grouped on the piano page) I also noticed that the two and the nine are grayed out where the numbers are...

also there are a lot of other possibilities, consider that 999 is just a spacer number and if you read the numbers in the 3 key grid and 10 key grid in that sequence they look like this...
999 110
152 046
042 xxx
xxx xxx
consider you take the 99 out and start at 152 then go to 110 then to 042
152-110=042

I also found this same pattern lower in the number sequence of those two key grids
yet an addition problem
083 067
150
083+067=150
I havn't found any more patterns like this in the grid though, also notice that the first two numbers on the entire grid of three # sequences do not go over 26
(26 letters in the alphabet)
there are however 00 values which would make 27 unique values, of which the aplhabet only consists of 26 unique values
yet in those two key grids (3 & 10) there is only one 00 value (003)
maybe these could be rotation numbers in the third row...
for example 042 would be the letter d(04) rotated two place forward or backwards, either b or f
or 173 would be q rotated three times n or t
also the Queen references have been appearing throughout the puzzle, I figured out on side 6 that the crossword small word is 'there' the other words seem very hard to figure out, and I think we'll have to solve side 4 before we get any help on those....

Quote:

ok here's one for you...I've broken down all the numbers, well almost all of them, have two left to do, but I'm fried with all this adding and subtracting, it will have to wait to tomorrow, all of the numbers in the three grid and the ten grid, except for two that I have found ( i still have four, besides the 999's i just havnt checked two of them )I wont give you the numbers but if you take all of the numbers in the three and ten grid and combine them together, then begin making simple addition and subtraction equations, like so

046+152=198
152-046=106
look for 198 or 106, if they're not there (they aren't)
you movoe down to the next number like so..
046+042=088
046-042=004
look for those numbers so on and so forth till every number has been down...
I have narrowed it down to only four numbers plus the 999's and tried entering the code numerous ways into the face 4 keypad but have had no luck....let me knw if you find anythingo

 		I've just tried your suggestion but it doesn't work, unless there is a weird order to do it in because it doesn't make sense. On key 12 you get two of the same numbers after each other which decodes as "everything everything"
If it is the right idea then it may be used on another queen song.

 		Songs to try
Radio Gaga(tryed and failed)

Keep yourself alive.

I dont see any other song references.

... Stupid thought. How many words are in the previous message(side 2)
84... perhaps its the letter in the message. ... dont know just throwing out
ideas.


PS: Glad to see somone posting again.

 		So, I was thinking up strange things to do to side three, and I came up with some ideas.

- Maybe we should think of each number (except the 999s) as a base-12 number (since there are 12 keys on a piano in an octave). Then, each number could represent a chord on the piano that we have to play...

- Perhaps we have to listen to Radio Gaga (there is the G-A-G-A at the bottom of the face) and play the notes on the keyboard to get the ordering of the numbers. For example, if we saw a C, we'd take the first number from the first key, etc.

I haven't followed up with any of this yet, but it's a thought.

 		damn unsolvable puzzle.
Well stupid as it is im gonna send in 20$ for a shirt and a clue.

I hope i get something to help us. Most of these clues have been nearly
worthless. Keep Yourself Alive... Forest for the Trees:Queen Radio
None of it seemed to help.

I need a clue that really points at how to decipher these number patterns.

 		Well I sent a private message to dcthejoker when Virtucube was dead and he has a clue which could be of signifigance to deciphering the numbers:

http://www.virtuquest.com/dbran74c/clue34.html,

It's a pity I can't access it. Could one of you attatch a picture of it to a post.

It has the attached picture with Austin Power's head moving around. Listen to the song again? BTW, this site has the Queen Radio Gaga video to watch and listen to.

 		[spec]
Austin Powers hints that the numbers have to do with powers?
--The 2 and the 9 are the only numbers down below that look like they don't have a power (since no black key to their immediate right) and of course those are the only 2 grey numbers.

Radio One, Radio Two = numbering the lyrics like we were doing in the past?

Maybe we need to use side one and two to solve side 3.
We needed side 1 to solve two. Seems logical.

but how?
