View source and clean up the color codes. Apply Hex -> ascii, then Base64:
A. Song #6: Count every instance where the number # in the title is mentioned.
B. Song #4: Count every *female* vocal mention of summer.
C. Song #10: Count the number of times there is a mention of "pull the trigger."
D. Song #2: Before the first time one hopes to fall from grace, add up the number of separate instances a male appears to issue a count-off.
E. Song #9: Total the number of things specified as being taken (taking quantity into account).
F. Song #8: Total the # of times her numerical worth is mentioned.
G. Song #9: Total # of instances that the # in this song's title is mentioned.
H. Song #3: Total every 2 that is mentioned, before it's time to get loose.
I. Song #3: Add up the 1's mentioned. Any 1 counts, but "ones" don't.
J. Song #7: # of times the song title is mentioned.
K. Song #5: Total the days of each year, as if the mention of each counts as a seperate loss. Take into account that there'd be two leap years. Days in bed never count as a loss. Each mention gains you an additional week. All combined, how many days are lost?
L. Song #6: Add up every number mentioned that is NOT the # in the title of the song.
M. Song #13: How many times is the title repeated in the song. And then? See title.
N. Song #12: "Might as well," how many times?
O. Song #11: Total the # of things music saves you from.
P. Song #1: The song's title is repeated how many times in the song?
Q. Song #3: Add 1 to the # mentioned in the song title. How many times is *that* # mentioned in the song?
All done with that part? Redirect to what we do if it's wack...
It looks like a lot of work. It seems convenient to distribute each task to teams of 2, and asign each task to at least 2 people for double checking. That would give us another code to work with, and then we need to find another redirect, can't imagine what we do if it's wack... any ideas? |

Directions:
Song #4: Count every *female* vocal mention of summer.

Directions:
Song #5: Total the days of each year, as if the mention of each counts as a seperate loss. Take into account that there'd be two leap years. Days in bed never count as a loss. Each mention gains you an additional week. All combined, how many days are lost?

I said it in the other thread, but lyric sites leave our backing vocals, repetitions, and other stuff you have to listen to the songs to get. Off memory alone I've noticed some of the lyrics linked are incorrect.
http://ixlr8.org/flash/mp3player.html
ixlr8 put this together. it's streaming mp3s of the songs we have so far. it's free, and you can click the player to listen to any of the tunes and verify/crossreference them with the lyrics.
my gf is asleep and i have no headphones, so I hope this at least helps you all!

like that Dashboard confessional one. the female vocal mentions would take a listen of the song and cross reference with the lyrics (since once it says summer, the other time slumber each chorus).
it takes two has more two's. add it up has lots of add it ups. down in it is said at other times in that song.
lyric sites are mostly guidelines, i have found.
and besides, it's crazy to think that someone would have made a puzzle that we could solve THAT easily. what is the work in just looking up lyrics?
in fact, look at the lyrics to Tsunami Bomb's Negative One to Ten. I think the message of that song has A LOT to do with this puzzle actually. we should be enjoying the music (or the songs we like at least).
ixlr8 did an awesome job compiling the mp3s for us, so we don't have an excuse not to:
http://ixlr8.org/flash/mp3player.html
the only thing that worries me is the 2 songs we don't have. because some of these #s are big and given the math we can't just guess. |

huh?
Each time it says.
It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it out of site
it takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to makeit out of site
that is repeated 5 times.
Then one last line says
"One, two, three, get loose now! "
So, counting TWO
uh 4x5 plus the extra one so 21.
right? |

counting 2's and adding the 2's together means it would be an even #.
so if there are 20 mentions in the chorus, plus the 2 in the 1, 2, 3 get loose part. That is 42 (21 mentions, so add 21 2's together and it's 42). |

Watch. Every mention of 2:
2
2
2
2
2
2
2
2
2
2
2
2
2
2
2
2
2
2
2
2
2
= 42
See what I mean? there are 21 seperate mentions of two in that song. add each two together, you get 42. |
