the big diff

A MAJOR: the note, the degree, the soldier?

[Glecius]

With the musical reference in the lastest sparky blog I began thinking musically. The term "requiem" came to mind. It's a musical tribute to the dead. It also followed the lines of having "qu" in it (which might not mean anything) PLUS it followed the theme of NoNoNo-YesYesYes being opposites. Requiems are written in Minor keys mostly, being the "opposite" of A Major (there is no actual opposite of keys, but the only understandable reference would be major to minor, of the same key).

Just some thoughts

Another interpretation of the no12no page...could be read as "no one to know".

[labfly]

that is a good point, ilikepucks.

also revisiting the "4" like symbol

[Vandino]

"that squirrely 4" (haha, that cracks me up!) is also the alchemic symbol for tin.

well, let's see, if we look at the musical aspect, we could look at the key of A Major:
A B C# D E F# G# A
but there's no H or O in music, so i'm not sure how the source clue fits in, unless we use labfly's substitution, which would get us something like:

I dont think the letters in the source actually have anything to do with this persay. I took the letters and used their numeric value in the alphabet and came up with this - 43582315043 Then I started thinking about the No-Yes "thing" and reversed them, giving us this 34051328534

Noticing the same numbers on the ends got me to checking and the ASCII chart shows " as the value for 34, so I tried working the numbers to find the best fit. While nothing came out "clear" something did grab my attention, so maybe someone else can make further sense of it.

just playing around with what glecius put up:

At last I have returned and with something to add concerning Glecius' latest post:

[AliAs]

Going along the same lines of "the squirrely 4 as Jupiter" and "a major key," I was wondering if we could look at Mozart's Symphony No. 41 In C Major K. 551 'Jupiter'.

More info about the symphony:

[Glecius]

DOH, I cant believe how many times I overlooked this, but the source clue means D(Decimal)35, H(Hex)23, O(Octal)043. They all correspond to the same thing, #. Now we have to figure out how the number sign plays into it.


*EDIT*

Again, if we think musically, the # represents a "sharp note". The opposite of it would be a "flat note" or ^b

*EDIT2*
I decided to stare at the info from Jupiter and try and figure something out. The biggest key I could find was the reference to the sizes listed with on the page (SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE). Jupiter is the largest planet, so given the Yes-No "thing" it led me to think of the smallest planet. Pluto is the smallest planet and the Roman God equivalent to Hades in Greek Mythology, Ruler of the Underworld. It seemed to fit our theme, so I thought I'd share my ramblings. Still not sure how it all fits together, but we have more to work with now I think. The IX in the palm being the most notable clue on the page could also refer to Pluto, as the 9th Planet.

I also researched more into the info about Mozart above and realized another composer had an entire composition- "The Planets", including a symphony for each planet. Holst is the composer, but there is nothing for Pluto. That would be b/c Pluto wasnt identified and regarded a planet until after. He actually only has 7 planets listed at that time, so I think we were supposed to be led that way in order to make us think. Nice work AliAs, now we have to figure the rest out

and interesting to note (teehee).. i just found this from wikipedia

[Glecius]

I was chatting with my pops (musician for almost 50 yrs, teacher for close to 20) and he was telling me about the ### signifies the key of A Major. I decided to do a little checking and came across this

That actually places numeric values on key signatures. Alas, we have even more to think about and figure out lol
