I tried all of these suffixed with "s" and prefixed with "41_", "forty_one_", and all one-syllable words ending in "ime" (on the chance that we're playing "sounds like PRIME PREPOSITIONS".) All were 404s... Except this one! I think you've solved the puzzle!

http://transmit.ilovebees.com/outdbound/forty_one_v1aGr4s.wav

(By the way, if anyone wants a perl script to hammer the ilovebees server with requests for all combinations of two sets of words, let me know.)


That link uh...is a 404. Question

Lol, maybe thats the key! Somehow, the PM's spelled outbound wrong, and we actually solved it long ago! Ok, maybe I've lost it, but we hafta be missing something or I will go crazy. And now that the humptydumpty page has been updated but the Rani wavs havent been unlocked, we now know that we must get it to unlock it. My friend has been saying "Just wait till they update humptydumpty", but now it looks as if we might be stuck forever!

What about "Sounds Like" time and place. These preposition indicate time and place.

I've tried more than a hundred sounds like time and place strings, but perhaps you can think of more. Just plug them in and see if you get a .wav!

Hm. This is probably the dumbest thing I've ever come up with, but maybe it's not "Bee sounds like Me" but "Sounds like to be heard".

Of course, I'll be darned if I can figure out what sounds like in that big list.



On another note, has anyone ever heard of something called a homophonic cipher? It came up on google, and I'm doing some reading now. Might be relevant.

Okay, going more simple here...

SOUNDS LIKE is between a series of 10 dashes. Since it is the only thing in the middle of the 10 dashes, it is in the exact center.

So is the word BETWEEN on the other one.

Therefore, we should find things that either a) rhyme with between or b) rhyme with between and also have 10 letters.

I'm trying random things that rhyme with between but nothing so far...I can't possibly find something that is 10 exact letters and also rhymes with between, anyone else?

A homophonic substitution cipher doesn't have anything to do with sounds. It's a code where more than one cipher symbol can map to the same letter. So "bee" can be encoded as "xyz", where x->b, y->e, and z->e, for instance.

[OFF TOPIC] Here's a code which has never been solved, which is possibly a homophonic subsitution cipher: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=271

Humpty-dumpty's been updated.

No such luck with an easy out with Rani. It's not there. Yet, anyway.

EDIT: Whoops. Trout. Sorry.

Rani the analyst

I've been reading through the transcripts , looking for some inspiration. In termination.wav, this caught my attention.
Quote:
Herzog: I'm talking about a black op! On the roof, of a 22 year old analyst's apartment!

So, Rani's title is "analyst".
I know this is a stretch, but analyst sounds like ___list. And we have a word list.
analyst.wav and voice_analyst.wav dont work.
Maybe something else with analyst might?
