This is an archived legacy thread. Replies are closed, but the discussion is preserved.

So, judging from the overwhelming controversy brought on by my first little teaser, and requests for me to set a second one, i t gives me great pleasure to oblige with a further little brain-scrambler for you all, as a gesture of goodwill and best wishes before I finally disappear from these hallowed message threads for good (yeah, this guy knows when his time is up, so he may as well leave on a relative high......sigh....sob sob....)

Before you go any further, let me say that, this time around, there is ONLY ONE DEFINITE ANSWER, unlike the widely-perceived ambiguity of the solution to the previous one (are you reading this, Mr Klumpy, my friend???), and who knows, perhaps Velocity Girl may yet thrash the opposition here too.

Anyway, here we go. No prize this time, just for fun.......

The following sequence is a numerically-encoded representation of which favourite New Order song?

1-4-5-3-6 : 1-4-4-4-4 : 2-8-4-2-4 : 2-5-4-3-2-4 : 3-4-5-6-5-3-4-1-5-4 : 4-3-6-4-4-2-2 : 1-4-3-3-7 : 3-7-2-5 : 3-7-2-3-5 : 1-5-5-4-2-4 : 7-1-5-2-5 : 2-3-7-2-5 : 3-4-2-4-2-5 : 1-5-2-4-3-3 : 6-2-5-6 : 3-4-5-6-5-3-4-1-5-4 : 4-3-7-3-2-4-5 : 3-3-4-1-5-5 : 2-4-3-4-2-5 : 4-4-4-6-4 : 3-4-5-6 : 3-3-5-2-4-5.

Actually, I've got a feeling one of you will get it straight away. It's actually much easier than it looks!! Okay, scramble away!!

Great, another one !

The lack of a prize won't prevent me from trying hard...

Although, of course, at a 1st glance, this looks very difficult.

Sorry VG, but I can't get your reasoning here.

Martin, let me tell you I've already tried different combinations, weird calculations...

0 likes

I mean, VG, it works for a few verses but, then, you have 10 fucking numbers...

0 likes

OK, maybe VG's right after all, once again.

I haven't checked until the end but, apparently, you got one number per word.

Congrats VG and sorry for doubting you...

0 likes

Ok, Martin, I think your teaser is solved.

The only thing that bugged me was the 10 digits at some points but they standed for the 'How many times before Could you tell I didn't care?' lines.

Is that right, VG ?

Am I the only one who doesn't understand the solution even after it's revealed?

Patri' its how many letters are in each word...so I=1 Walk=4 The=3 Street=5, the short sequences of numbers represent each line of the lyrics..therefore I look into your eyes= 1,4,4,4,4

It's quite simple, Patrick, really.

Each digit stands for a word in the song and the number of letters in each word.

So :

I : 1 walk : 4 along : 5 the : 3 street : 6

and so on...

Thanks, Seb and Klumpy. I was confused by the list beginning 1.3=how; failed to see that the "1" was not part of the solution. It's still early here.
