Leftovers: Hints
(back to puzzle)
- You have some audio files. So transcribe them in some way.
- The first note of each file is the letter on the same line.
- This hint slightly clues an aha moment. Where's the file starting with B?
- This hint slightly clues an aha moment. The audio files are all the same length.
- This hint slightly clues an aha moment. Not all the audio files have the same number of notes.
- This hint slightly clues an aha moment. The audio files all use the same tempo.
- This hint clues an aha moment. The audio files all use the same scale (C major, or A minor).
- This hint somewhat strongly clues an aha moment. If you played all the audio files at the same time, what would happen?
- This hint somewhat strongly clues an aha moment. If you played all the audio files at the same time, what notes would be being played?
- This hint strongly clues an aha moment. If you played all the audio files at the same time, no two files are playing the same note at the same time.
- This hint strongly clues an aha moment. Why is the puzzle titled "Leftovers"?
- This hint strongly clues an aha moment. The flavortext says "I've tried a lot of completely different things, but it seems like all of them were completely wrong". What does that suggest?
- This hint gives away an aha moment. Consider what the audio file with the notes that aren't being used at each time would be.
- Remember, in the given files, notes aren't immediately repeated and instead are played for longer, so do the same in imagining (or creating) the new file.
- Once you've figured out what the new audio file would be, you can try creating it, or just singing it.
- The new audio file should be recognizable as part of a song.
- This hint suggests a method of doing research and can be skipped. Searching the sequence of notes in the new audio file might help if you can't recognize the song.
- The answer has eight letters, as clued by the eight blanks. That should resolve any minor ambiguity there might be about what is and isn't part of the answer.
- The answer checker throws away characters that aren't from a to z (capital or lowercase), so use the form of the answer without any such character.
