 		[Puzzle] 3. Dark Blue Face - Piano Keys
Well, here's at least a partial solve for the dark blue puzzle:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Move all the pieces to the top of the screen in piano formation. The order the pieces have to be in is

5 7 1 4 9 12 11 3 6 10 8 2

You'll get a creepy voice and then all the pieces will move down and lock into place, leaving their outline above.

 		The outline groups the 3 digit numbers.
Below the keys are in order: 7 4 11 6 8
and below that 5 1 9 12 3 10 2

Why is the 9 and 2 greyish color while the other white keys have a black number? red herring or clue?

Well, looking at the #4 puzzle, it looks like there's a calculator in which we are supposed to enter a long string of digits.

I'm speculating that the digits we need to enter are going to come from puzzle #3.

Perhaps the grey colored ones might be ones which we aren't supposed to enter?

 		GAGA is 3 10 3 10 if you correspond it to the piano.

Maybe concentrate on the 3 digit numbers under those particular keys?
Are those ascii numbers? I know I've seen puzzles before with 3 digit numbers. Just not good at solving them.

 		Hey, this game seemed to have similar numbers... perhaps someone playing that will know how to decode them?

http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7705

It's the DaemonWorks game.

 		If you take the numbers on the keys to be a sequence and line up the note names in that sequence you get:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
D B G D#(Eb) C G#(Ab) C#(Db) A#(Bb) E A F#(Gb) F



I don't know what good if any that does you, but its my contribution so far.

 		Since there's a bass clef rather than a treble, I thought this may (or may not) be helpful...

Quote:
Generally, the treble clef notes are played with the right hand; and the bass clef notes are played with the left hand. Usually, the notes to the right of Middle C are played with the right hand - and are found in the treble clef. Usually, the notes to the left of Middle C are played with the left hand - and are found in the bass clef.

 		Fish?
If you're refering to the object right below the stave, I think thats just an optical artifact. Can't remember the technical term, like you get with clouds.

I had to look really hard to see a fish, now I can't see it as anything else.

Has the disproportionate instance of 999 been noted? They come in groups. could be important for their position rather than the number itself.

 		Someone pointed the groups of three numbers to another similair puzzle, which was based on ascii sets, but I don't think it can be that simple since if you just translate it with the numbers given you end up with a lot of carriage returns and old symbols used by HP printers and strange things like that, mostly machine commands, far too few letters, plus the 999 is a little strange I noticed that.

I suppose it could be enciphered somehow, but I don't really know how it could be or what you could do with it...

 		heh
You guys are always steps ahead of me.

Any chance of entering all the ascii characters and then saving the file as a midi file? something along those lines?

 		I don't think you could take ascii characters and make them into music, I'm pretty sure thats a dead end in terms of ideas.

It just occurred to me that it could somehow have something to do with pitches where each grouping of three numbers is a value in Hz. Many of them are VERY low (middle C is somewhere in the 500 Hz range I believe?) but hearing them may not neccesarily mean anything, they may translate into the absolute frequency of notes somehow.

I don't have a chart of note names to frequencies and its a little late to look for them now (stupid presidential election keeping me awake) but thats a thought at least. What you'd do with the note names once you've got them, I have no clue, but its just one more avenue to explore.

The repetition of 999 makes no sense this way, though... I'm stumped... especially when the values alternate between something and 999 for basically every number in the space covered by key 8...

GAH! Too late to think on this!

 		random thought from a random passerby,
when you organise the keys at the top and they go all transparent, they divide the numbers into groups. could this be relevant?
