And if I were to think like the puzzle maker I wouldn't make such hard to understand things like the number of times "Add it up" in song 13, or the number of countdowns in song #3.

Remember to think like the puzzle maker for this.

After all, there are only so many significant things that you can pull out of a song, even by stretching logic a bit.

and yea it does look like a complete mess and we need to get rid of the three threads and work in one joint thread, and work as a team...

thing is is there is no way to know if we have the "right" numbers without calling them...

I'm still iffy about saying that we know FOR SURE that we are looking at a california area code, because Tach is on the move...
but becasue we've reached that sequece of numbers so many times, i'll go with it.

I thought this was a brother puzzle?

Add it up is easy. It is just at the end of the song. 25 times.

The 1, 2's. Doesn't it say appearances? Appearances have breaks between them (to count as seperate appearances). So I would favor 3 appearances over 9.

the brute force approach to the first # jumped the gun. if we'd waited to figure out the last 2 songs, we wouldn't be so damned cluttered here with trying to solve part two of this puzzle before we even solved the first part.

I think we're being taught a lesson, personally.

Yeah, probably, but it was 4:00 a.m. for some of us, and we were excited, and doing our best, and, and, and....there were funny picture of cats to look at, and some of our heads exploded.
