Dunno where the idea for ninna came from, but you might be onto something with the WWW from wracked, wrung, wrong.

Perhaps this points us back to the main site (www.thenekodas.com) rather than this sub-site (dina.thenekodas.com).

EDIT: It's OK, I spotted it Embarassed annagram of cinnamon eh? Very Happy

Since this is now listed as [SOLVED] perhaps we should start a new thread to discuss the bits that aren't.

Some crazy speculation:

Jesse = Caesar = Dina's lost son.


I'm thinking you may be correct about Caesar being Dina's lost son.

In the hacker file bigmclargehuge.mic, the very first words are "orphan punk." Someone (Scratch?) is referring to Caesar here. Maybe Caesar disowned his parents (Ethan and Nina) for some reason?

(My first post after discovering this whole thing last night and researching for the majority of the 24 hrs since then! Smile )

Ballads of Frogs? WTF?

This just gets curiouser and curiouser...

BTW, this is the first puzzle solve I actually contributed to (even though I was wrong about Elgar Embarassed ). Y'all are usually too fast and/or clever for me. Of course, there's always the Oct. 1st Paintover pic Neutral

I feel the same way. Luckily I happen to be a music education major and I was able to recognize "New World Symphony". I would've gotten more, but I didn't know other players here would be not only geniuses with the computer but also Music History. Rolling Eyes

L- Song 3 - Cello Concerto in D minor - Lalo
L- Song 3 - Cello Concerto in D minor - Lalo
A- Song 8 - Adagio for organ/strings - Albinoni
D- Song 4 – New World Symphony (4th movement Allegro con fuoco) by Antonin Dvorak

W- Song 5 - Invitation to the Dance by Carl Maria von Weber
F- Song 6 - Ritual Fire Dance by Manuel de Falla

Could we keep this thread JUST for the songs AND start a NEW thread for the contents of the destination of this solve? Thank you.

What still puzzles me is the comment regarding the "two times four times three times 5 walls"

Why switch from words to numerals for the number five?

What sort of place would have 5! walls?

This seems like something that should have thematic, if not puzzle significance. It's such an odd statement.

Just to get thinking on the 5 walls, the pentagon?



And interestingly enough, legend has it that Aeschylus met his death when an eagle dropped a tortoise on his bald head, mistaking it for a rock.


What about http://ethan.thenekodas.com on OCT 31, there is a picture of a tortoise....just trying to link things together...

Just got back after the weekend and notice I was spot on with my 'ballads' guess. Good job to everyone in solving such a bizarre name!

Dead Cafe... The face in the Jpg looks dead to me. Dead Face? Face being an anagram of Cafe?
