The puppetmaster says your wife is smart and you are one lucky man. Now look at how many notes are used in this tune, and how they are used.My wife tells me, this tune stays in one octave

Very lucky indeed. I can only hope my son gets all his talents from herimpulse wrote: The puppetmaster says your wife is smart and you are one lucky man. Now look at how many notes are used in this tune, and how they are used.
Thanks for the hints!

Sorry I got a little frustrated. And thanks for the links/hints. It's me, it's not you.

Taking the notes pairwise (which may or may not be correct, especially for the third line - so that's one degree of uncertainty already), and just counting the pairs that appear we have something like this:so, there the message is not long enough to be subject to frequency analysis, but we can get an idea of the set of pairs used, and notice EE and G#B are the most common codes in the small sample that we have. No D# appear at all in the code, either as the first letter or the second of a pair.Code: Select all

D# . . . . . . . where ^ = a pair from lines 1, 2, or 4 of the code * = a pair from line 3 of the code (since it may be not be correct) . = no pair of this type found in the code
= {E, F#, G#, A, B, C#} x {E, F#, G#, A, B, C#}
So a possible solution is to map the 36 characters to this 6x6 grid in a way that gives us a result.

Saturday 10:50 Heathrow British Air flight 385
or
Saturday 21:61 Heathrow British Air flight 1496
If we can figure out which one is correct, we will know the code solution.
EDIT: According to www.britishairways.com there is a flight BA1496 on Saturday July 21 with an estimated departure time of 20:20 from LHR (Heathrow, London) to GLR (Glascow).

Great job QtheC! 
That was a tough puzzle! It would have been cool to meet the main characters!

okay, I'm ready for the next puzzle now. 
Gah! Deagol is right, it should have been ba0285 not ba0385, and I assume San Francisco makes more sense than Glascow as the destination since we see Berkeley in the video.

Good job Q. Sorry for my terse replies: it's me, not you.

According to my quick search, 1496 would be a very unusual flight number for British Airways.
I am leaning towards 285 myself, becuase BA seems to use 2xx range mostly.

Also, 21:61 is quite an odd time to fly.QtheC wrote:okay, I'm ready for the next puzzle now.

You see that was easy! 
Well, there was no one at the airport on Saturday to welcome Kris and Mary.

Yeah! Didn't they see the pretty sign I colored? <chuckle>
