Team Noah Boddy posted this to the Yahoo! board, and I think it warrants reposting here:

Greetings, everyone!

As Week Three ends and the discussion rages (GREAT discussion and
team-work today, btw) we at Team Noah Boddy have decided there are a
few comments that we should make regarding hints and weekly clues.

First, in case it is not yet clear to everyone, the game adds hints
each week. Those hints each point to a specific weekly clue. Hints
are for that week alone and will not transfer to the next week (ie.
each week's clues are self-contained within that week).

Second, it is NOT necessary to solve each and every hint each week.
Granted, it is our goal to create hints that can and will be solved,
but as pointed out in our poll, we have also tried several different
levels of hints in the past two weeks to see which work best with the
players. You, the player, do not need to solve every hint--you
merely need enough hints to point you towards a specific weekly clue.

Finally, a specific comment on this week's hints. There are three
different specific hints this week--word search, moon puzzle, tile
puzzle. You do not need to solve all of them to decipher the weekly
clue--take what you can solve and look at thematic ideas from the
story, and the weekly clue should be clear.

tile solution?

that looks like a plausible solution, which i shall confirm momentarily. For now, I take it to be referring to the lyrics of "Lullaby of Broadway"

Come on along and listen to, the lullaby of Broadway
The hip hooray and ballyhoo, the lullaby of Broadway

another "after dark melody" perhaps?

Since we're being pushed to lullabies and such as the clue this week, we might try working the moon numbers backwards.

It's likely that they are some sort of 'book' cypher regarding the Rev's 11/12 entry. There are eight sets of numbers on the left (right) side and nine on the right (left) side, for a total of seventeen letters. There also happen to be eight letters in 'melodies' and nine in 'after dark' for a total of seventeen.
Could the moon numbers have given us 'melodies after dark' or 'after dark melodies' again?

The highest "moon number" is 51 and there are 52 squares. It looks like only 7 is repeated. I've tried several ways of counting the squares but haven't decoded anything using the moon numbers. Has any one else tried this?

Dark Side Of The Moon

It all leads to the song by Harry Warren...nice to know that I spec'd out Lullaby before anyone else!!! ABOUT TIME!!! LOL...

Great teamwork and solve boys and girls!

Humor me though, can anyone explain the damn Moon Numbers puzzle now and how to solve? I see the answer Rex, but what was the method?

From reading through the yahoo group. I don't think anyone actually worked the puzzle. But rather figured it out from the "hip hooray" clue. Atleast we have the answer even if we don't know exactly how we were supposed to get it. Wink
