For QtheC's horsey, combine the pixel colors in the color key for each number, ignoring the color word (e.g. for 1: 14% orange, 12% blue, and 9% yellow).

Solution:

I was going to go with one of these solutions, but I like Deagol's better... Laughing

For more info on the origin of the image Deagol posted, see a similar horse in Picasso's masterpiece, Guernica.

You're on your own. I can't help anymore. The only thing I can say is: the more difficult the code(s), the greater the reward(s). I'll see you in chapter 2.

I posted a message to you guys in the OoG discussion thread, dear.
Have a good weekend!

I'm taking a short time off, I've been working like 24/7 on the londonfiles lately. My gf hates me, my boss...err.... it's better not to talk about that, and I'm moving into a new apartment over the weekend. This computer should be packed already, but I just can't. get. away. from. the.....okay, okay i'm turning it off now. Wink

Noting that YouTube video addresses are encoded in 11 characters including upper and lower case letters, numbers, and - or _ ,
I have tried to find a way to translate the intervals into numbers that then translate into an 11 character code.

I have not yet succeeded, but here is one such attempt...

(note that there is no -1 interval since it would be the same as +1, i.e. two identical notes)

Q, that's just amazing and too much work for a lazy guy like me. I really hope it's not that hard. Now, I've found something somewhere else. Kudos to silverblue for noticing something here right from the get go, and shame on us for not following up on her suggestion. Goes to show that if you notice something, even if you don't know what to do with it, try to just follow it up as much as you can, or insist that someone tries it.

So, I thought I'd try making something out of the tick-tocks just before the notes in code (silverblue called them tapping), as it seemed pretty morse/binary. Transcribing it was a pain, especially the latter parts of it. First attempt, dots are tocks, dashes are ticks:

The stones were what was in the container near the grave?

The stones are the seal? Am I thinking of the right story with the seal? Am I confusing the londonfiles and WoW stories again?

Who knows. *tired*

For the music code, my method may seem a bit complex, but I think it may be close. The data size seems to match the YouTube code size of 11 characters. The biggest problem I have is what to do with the first three intervals (4 1 3) as that does not fit well into what I was doing otherwise.

It would be helpful if someone with a musical ear could carefully check Deagols' transcription of the music and the intervals. I tried this and did not find any obvious errors, but I'm not postive there are none.

I can try slight variants on the 11 character codes (by assuming each interval is off by 1 up or 1 down), but the number of possibilities blows up pretty quickly.

EDIT: None of these variations worked...
