Thank you Muerti for letting me know where the numbers came from. Smile

Someone on the silverladder forums named Phaedra has been making mysterious posts and the numbers are in her signature. One of her posts has lyrics from this song -

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2PbG6KQKsE

There is this Phaedra
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phaedra

She friended what seems like only Ladderheads on Facebook -
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1021285395

I don't know what the numbers mean yet...

anon53425182 are you Phaedra?

Quotes from Phaedra's posts -

Quote:
Flowers are the things we knew


Quote:
Forgotten Language

Once I spoke the language of the flowers,
Once I understood each word the caterpillar said,
Once I smiled in secret at the gossip of the starlings,
And shared a conversation with the housefly
in my bed.
Once I heard and answered all the questions
of the crickets,
And joined the crying of each falling dying
flake of snow,
Once I spoke the language of the flowers. . . .
How did it go?
How did it go?

Shel Silverstein

(it doesn't have to be forgotten...)

the snapping of the twigs of my soul

refractions of light through the crystals of ice

At this point, I don't think he can tell you. At least not here.

That is true Nighthawk. Smile
I think the numbers might relate to the crossword puzzle Phaedra has posted on her FaceBook.

I'm guessing they do...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Using the first digit as the row, second as column, the first three letters spell "THE".

Haven't gone through the rest of it yet.


ETA: Got it...

Thank you Nighthawk! Very Happy
I was going it about it the wrong way and getting garbage.

Now I wonder what it means....I thought the solution would lead to the next step. Confused

Well I asked Phaedra:

Quote:
Phaedra sent you a message.

Re: "The Future Is Yours..."

it means the beginning has begun
the seasons are changing
the time is now
when the music plays
we will play
and hopefully
learn a few things along the way
sound good?

Awesome work solving the numbers, I should've guessed the crossword had something to do with it.

I solved her posting on the forums, I replied with the second verse of the song she used in her first post "Some Velvet Morning" by Nancy Sinatra. She sent me a PM saying we need to find her first message and that it's over the river and down the hole.

EDIT: Over the river and down the hole obviously mean "down the column and across the row". Didn't see it before.

She also said that the Nancy Sinatra version of "Some Velvet Morning" was not her favorite version. I suppose we have to give Phaedra both the right version of the song and the message.

However, the song has been covered many times before.

Thanks Zaggerty. Smile
I am looking through the different versions of "Some Velvet Morning" and sent her this -

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dP1tv5cCvaI

I looked at the silverladder forums but could only find the 3 entries for Phaedra, and I didn't see any threads about it. I am very curious about where her first message might be. Embarassed I didn't read your edit closely enough.

Edit/I messaged her asking where I would hear the music and got this reply

Quote:
Re: The music

you will all be able to hear the music, if your ears remember where to listen. information is not knowledge.

Edit/Found it! Very Happy

Anyways, yes.
I can't take all the credit.
I totally looked over your crossword, I should've known.
Though I suppose I am the type to miss things.

Phaedra
sometimes the answers are right before our eyes
it is knowing how to look for them.
but don't worry, that is part of our journey in fact.
sharpening that skill in many arenas.

Bob
If there is one thing I appreciate about myself, it is that I can be very clever when it calls for it.

Phaedra
it is good that you are aware of that.
i have a feeling you will get this.
whatever get may mean, of course.

Bob
Of course.

Phaedra
in any case, i have much preparation to do.
however, one more thing.
in the next few days ticket information will become available, although you will have to work for your travel of course.
nothing in life is free.

Bob
I suppose.
We shall speak again, then?

Phaedra
remember, work doesn't have to be painful.
i believe so.
it is in the cards.
good day.

Bob
If I can leave with one more question.

Phaedra
you may.

Bob
Among the deck, you were all shuffled.
Who were you, before the ten of clubs?

Phaedra
you will soon learn that the past is but the past. if you do not let go of it, you will be only that forever.

Bob
Thanks for the information.
Ciao bella.


I've been chatting with Phaedra a bit, here was our latest.

She's mentioned her number's message is the "ticket to our train".

As you can see above, we'll learn more about the tickets and how we'll be earning them in the next few days.

I'll add our logs from now on to this board as well.

Zaggerty where are you chatting with Phaedra at?

For some reason the .mp3 on http://silverladder.com/sl3/ won't play for me with Firefox so I am attaching it here. The artists are Nick Cave and Lydia Lunch.

Rowland S. Howard is actually the male singer there, not Nick Cave.

And I've been chatting with Phaedra via Facebook.

Interesting...how did you find out? In the properties of the .mp3 it cites Nick Cave and Lydia Lunch which I thought meant they were the artists.

Not sure why Nick Cave would be mentioned.

As for finding out it's Rowland S. Howard, thank people commenting on YouTube and then myself verifying it via google.
