Lets go

waiting…hoping…thinking.

There were letters at the end of the message.
I'm going to watch it again and figure out what they are.

The letters at the end of the video appear to be "STFT", but this doesn't get us past the PassCode validation.

There was a pic of a camera on this page a while back.  I think there's a PDF of it on another topic.  I'll see if I can find it.  The hop-scotch board is also a clue.

STFT = wikipedia.org/wiki/STFT

The picture wasn't a camera. It was the remote control for an airplane. Look closely.

So does that mean we need to decode the beeps in the video against what was found in Wikipedia? Anyone have an idea on how to do that?

STFT seems to refer Short-time fourier transform.

Maybe the sounds in the video have to be filter through a STFT?

You're right.  Maybe STFT has something to do with the sounds in the briefing

The sound sounded like a keyboard setting.  It could correspond to piano notes.

Microsoft R and D  (research and development??)

The notes sounded like they were from Garageband's "Musical Keyboard". Anyone have any idea how to run that backwards?

i dont even know where to start...

The spectrogram is the result of calculating the frequency spectrum of windowed frames of a compound signal. It is a three-dimensional plot of the energy of the frequency content of a signal as it changes over time.
Spectrograms are used to identify phonetic sounds, to analyse the cries of animals, and in the fields of music, sonar/radar, speech processing, etc. A spectrogram can also be called a spectral waterfall, sonogram, voiceprint, or voicegram. The instrument that generates a spectrogram is called a sonograph.

Spectrograms are usually created in one of two ways; either with a series of bandpass filters, or calculated from the time signal using the short-time Fourier transform (STFT).

You can use Raven to see words in the audio of the briefing.

What are they for?

I'm extracting the audio from the video now as a WAV file, I'll try opening it up in Garageband and see if anything pops up.

Anything of use in the javascript linked on the msrandd page?

It's just MooTools-- does the little animation for the PassCode box (mostly): MooTools.

Malice, what do those numbers mean?

but is there anything that be extracted from the Regular expression? I don't know it that well, but it looks like they are restricting a lot.

That js has been packed with Dean Edwards javascript packer.

That's just the packed version of it, to make the file size smaller-- it's nothing more than a cool JavaScript framework. Nice thoughts, but a dead end, guys.

theres a way to do STFT and inverse STFT in Matlab... i just don't know how to do it...

There is a free Macosx toolkit for STFT here:

Replace the [dot] with .

"Metasynth" is at the bottom the of the wiki pg with a demo is this a clue?

OK, so there's the PDF...

I haven't seen mention of that yet.

Looks like it could be one of those folding paper/finger games the girls used to make in elementary school... maybe...

Its a software for music creation on Mac.

By analyzing the audio from the video with Raven, a STFT software, I got http://www.thegardenofforkingpaths.com/

It looks like it may spell something or give us some clues.

Did anyone else notice the the machiets home paged went through the following iterations before mission 4 was released?

hopscotch
radio control
dna
question mark maze

Then I got a popup proclaiming 'It's aMAZEing'

I came, I saw, I realised it's all too much effort, I had a nap.

Mouse over = 2nd floor (basement)

Going in the top, got

Now all we need is some elephants. And candy. You can never have too much candy.

when you go from the top entrance to the bottom entrance it spells swordsofthetelevisiongeneration.  (Swords of the television generation)

the remote that I thought was a camera was called fstop.jpg

It's at http://www.apartment213.com/fstop.png

Great image, MH!!!

Also... In the source code of the hopscotch backout page was a link to starfield.mov

I have it on my flash drive and will post when I get home. In the car now.

Diane, this case gives me a strange feeling... this is one of Cole's blue rose cases.

The remote control on the couch links to a zip file...

Ok now what is this plugin for safari?

on the other thread, you can also follow the maze to get

The Plugin has done nothing so far.

Hmm... I installed the webplugin. Just put it in Library-Internet Plugins. Now what?

Right before I posted there was some links that took me to  a page on skitch.com
  .../dreameruk/rqfg/camino

had a pic with thos e #'s on it also had a banner that said – Pssst!.. This page is Secret - it can only be seen if you give people the URL

then the posting was gone might have been some spam'r sorry
