On the plus side, I'll have something to pick away at (other than geist) until next week's puzzle as I'm obsessed with figuring out the method behind the solve.

SHOCK John Milton Cage (September 5, 1912 – August 12, 1992) was an American experimental music composer, writer and visual artist. He is most widely known for his 1952 composition 4'33", whose three movements are performed without playing a single note.
vanishing notes to you???

4'33" . The pianist sits down, takes out a stopwatch, and sits in silence without hitting a single key for exactly four minutes and thirty-three seconds.
(I once put an outgoing announcement on my answering machine introducing "John Cage's Beep Sonata in Ab Minor")

There is no evidence supporting the sometimes-made claim that Cage chose the length deliberately, four minutes and thirty-three seconds being 273 seconds and absolute zero being temperature of −273 °C.

number grid I have never participated in anything like this before, so what I thought of could be completely worthless, dumb, or irrelevent, but I noticed that if you use ROT 13 encryption on the first 3 letters of contest, you get pba test. What made me think this could be potentially relevant is that the professional bowling association (pba) was bought by former microsoft executives, and when they did that they moved the headquarters to seattle, wa, which is the city for the fourth puzzle box. Let me know if this could actually mean something or if I am just drawing a completely randomn, farfetched, meaningless connection. Another possibly random connection is that the answer to the balance the books puzzle was 450 and 450 is a perfect score in Canadian 5-pin bowling

Just fyi I tried to give enaxor the solve for Laser but she said strifey was the one who pointed out the clue that went with laser. Enaxor just did the math. Meanwhile Strifey, again miles ahead, was looking up the record and found the B side first as well.
