i need to change my underwear! ordered the vinyl....and it's released on my birthday too! best birthday present ever! if the music that played on the website is anything to go by were in for a treat, it was wonderfully dark.

i'm kinda confused though, where did the last number come from? some mp3? where was the mp3 available from?

Just want to say thank you to everyone here who not only helped solve the puzzles but for making it so exciting with such wild speculation. It's only gone and bloody paid off!

June 10th is going to be special, knowing so many people are gonna be listening together.

Cheers

I came a week late to this thing and still enjoyed it immensely. There are some damn smart BoC fans out there too. We've been waiting for this day for a long time, it feels really good now that it has finally arrived.

:-(

Although, TERMINALly boring. I was on to something there.

I like the album teaser vid.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also I'd like to point out that the new number fits the mod 6 pattern I mentioned earlier. Each of the 6 numbers returns a different value mod 6:

4 1 0 5 2 3

The only possible outputs are 0 through 5. So each possible output comes up once. It is very unlikely that this is unintentional. I think we'll find that there is more to these numbers over the next days, months and years...

EDIT: Also, I should mention that the mod operation is important in cryptography.

Ok, in my hurry to order the album before the site went down, I was too confused as to the process of how this number was discovered. I couldn't find the alleged base string that converted to the missing # in any of the .js files.

Plus, someone found the mp3 of the number (YAY) -- http://d2z73vh7cr79ry.cloudfront.net/cosecha.mp3

I don't see where that was linked? Does anyone know exactly what just happened? I'm too pumped up right now to make much sense of it. But I'd like to know. :wink:
