What about the music in the YouTube video? Last night I worked out that the tune is: G5 A#5 F5 G5 C5 D#5 F5 G5 - but nothing came up on internet searches. I could also be wrong about the strongest wind being F5. I'm also still wondering if it might be a chess reference because "black flame" appears in Harry Potter before they get to the chamber with the mirror/stone, so is the life-sized chess game that has to be played carefully...

If you are referring to the Fujita Scale (F1, F2, F3, etc) then no you are not wrong F5 is the highest. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fujita_scaleUsing the Fujita Scale makes perfect sense in context of the other solutions. It definitely cant be a chess opening, C4, F5, C6, E6 are impossible opening moves. |

Ok I'm just throwing this out here, but I had a different idea for this stanza. I think it is referring to one or two words that are phonetically made by the answers to each of the four parts (explode, strongest wind, etc.). "Explode" could be boom, pow, blam... "The strongest wind" ...  "No sea legs" could be ill, sick, new... "A song by D.D.E." I believe this is the song DIXIE by Daniel Decareur Emmett. So for (bad) example, the word would sound out to boom-___-ill-dixie . bum___ildaceae or something. Could be way off here, but thought I would share! |

I think I have this one.
If I'm right it is the name of a song. (or part of it)
Who happens to be a composer? Who just happens to have a sound cloud? Lukas Stanley the author of the hunt

efanton That's brilliant! And their music is Celtic, replete with octave-jumping melodies!

As mentioned earlier Lukas the author has his own soundcloud soundcloud.com/lukas_stanleyHe is also a member of a band called The Founding www.thefoundingband.com/Form the clues we have found a sequence of notes C4, F5, C6, E6 My hearing isn't as good as it used to be. Could those that have time listen to the music on both those site and try identify which song relates to those 4 ascending notes C4, F5, C6, E6 Alternatively is there an easy way to get the sheet music for those songs so that we can be absolute certain we have picked the right song My theory is that the first key is a web address It will be in the format xxxx.songreference.TM The .TM i got from stanza 4 The last two lines refer to the country TURKEY How we get that is SPARE, and TURKEY are bowling terms. (a Turkey is a zero score, which is pretty hard even if you are as bad at bowling as I am  ) think Turkey +2, we were given that clue. Then Golden horse (golden horses of Turkmenistan and "astride a treasure", you sit astride a horse). To my mind that points to Turkmenistan which is two countries away from Turkey on the map I think the 3 piece key is a web address. So how does Turkmenistan fit into that? xxx.yyyyy.TM .TM is the country code for Turkmenistan |

This sounds good, but wanted to add one note: a turkey is three strikes in a row, XXX or 30 points. A strike is 10 point plus the score of the next two balls thrown. So, a turkey is a strike (X) plus two. If those two are perfect Xs, that's the turkey.

Also: XXX is a domain. Have we considered it?

thinking about this, if I am right the clue gives us Turkmenistan.
"the next plus two" might mean Georgia. Turkmenistan is country code 993 and Georgia is 995
We still need to crack what the sequence of notes C4, F5, C6, E6 mean first.

Don't want to dismiss your idea of Georgia, but haven't you already used "the next plus two" to get from Turkey to Turkmenistan by it being two countries away from Turkey? So by then going from Turkmenistan to Georgia you're using that line twice. Wouldn't want you looking at something that might be wrong, if not along the right lines. Using that logic surely it might be worth looking at Pakistan (+92) as it is plus two from Turkey (+90)? |

I have managed to get lists of EVERY domain registered in the .TM .GE and .XXX zones. (dont ask, I know a man that can ) Last night I went through literally thousands of domain names looking to see if I could find a match for any song that Lukas has written or performed by the band The Founding. I found nothing once I had entered any possible domain into a browser. Hours of work with no result, very disappointing but hey thats what these hunts are about. It then occurred to me that you could have a website that does not have a web address. Simply entering the IP address (but only by entering a complete IP address) would take you to the website How can we convert C4 F5 C6 E6 into a web address? Theoretically IP4 allows for a 12 digit number to be converted into an IP address. aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd Im ignoring IP6 as those strings are way too long I have tried convert the letters to their ASSCI value and then adding the number c4 = 99 + 4 = 103 f5 = 102 + 5 = 107 c6 = 99 + 6 = 105 e6 = 101 + 6 = 107 giving IP address 103.107.105.107 which give a Chinese website selling air conditioning, (just what we need  ) I then tried C4 = 67 + 4 = 71 F5 = 70 + 5 = 75 C6 = 67 + 6 = 73 E6 = 69 + 6 = 75 giving us IP address 71.75.73.75 which does not give a website We cant simply substitute 994 for c4 or 674 for C4 as they would give us an illegal IP address (number must be 0 - 255) Anyone got any ideas as to how to convert C4 F5 C6 E6 to a web address? |

Trying to learn a bit more about IP address. On one web page it gives this example My IPv6 address is fe80::2000:aff:fea7:f7c Notice anything special? Well look at the dots. ( : ) there's ten of them. Could they be the ten pins in the clue (Ten Cuts,Ten pins and turn) also look at the numbers that make up the address, They are hexadecimal pairs (Leading zero is dropped) and there are 10 pairs With nothing to lose I tried fe80::c4:f5:c6:e6 as web address but got no result If the above format is right then all I got wrong was the fe80 but I have no clue what that represents. I have tried to read wikipedia but to be honest its complete information overload to me I found this link sort of useful Breaking down an IPv6 address: What it all meansSo does anyone know anything at all about IPv6 IP addresses? |
