QN5 Music

The only thing I’m almost certain on is Chico & The Man is too cool for capital letters haha. I think I’m on to something.

I’m convinced this is an anagram.

Several relating words can be derived from the phrase. After several hours bored at work, these are the most coherent sentences I could compute…

fanned by a pale mist the heart flutters
= men plan this earth, a butterfly defeats

or

name a butterfly that pretends has life

None of these really gets us any closer, and I don’t think they’re correct since they don’t incorporate the underscores.

Since the underscores are colored red, I think they’re supposed to be replaced with the red HCK letters found on the fanzine picture. This adds many more relating words to decipher.

hfanned by a cpale mist the heart kflutters
‘peace in nature’ can be derived, other interesting words such as ‘rhythm’ and ‘archetype’ as well.

You guys should see my notepad.

Obsessed?

Yeah, kinda.

If it turns out Tone is just messin with us. I’ll only buy 4 copies of CATM, instead of my planned 7. That’ll show’em.

I saw on twitter that they’ve uploaded clue 1,2 and 5 via web. Clue 3 and 4 is uploaded via echofon. I think we need to find the relation between clue 3 and 4. There are 3 underscores in clue 3, and we got 3 sections of numbers in clue 4. Since its been uploaded by an echofon it might be something with phone buttons or whatever, I am from denmark and we got a different alphabet so my buttons wouldn’t be the same. HCK is also 3 letters… Well what do I know, just stumbled upon it and thought maybe some of you could get something out of it.

Interesting idea, Linkis. Let’s try a quick looksee. HCK in phone language is 44,222,55. The longer clue could run thus:

18/5/1/3/8/ 23/8/9/20/5 13/1/18/9/16/15/19/1

.tj.dt.
atwa j
.d..tw.m.j.w.

It’s those double digit numbers that give us problems. I don’t think we’re supposed to do that. I’m pretty sure we cracked that one with the alphabet substitution “reach white mariposa,” and had we left a message on the damn answering machine before the number went bad, we probably would have reached white mariposa, as commanded.

Nice try, but we’ll just have to keep reaching.

Also, I’m pretty sure we’re not getting any more clues. Given Tone’s love of the number 5 (QN5 stands for Quintic Nickelism, after all,) 5 sounds like a logical stopping point.

Just thoughts.

Nah, since the 5th clue was posted Tone has said there’d be more CATM clues in the Fall.

That’s kinda cool… as in men plan the earth, and a butterfly can ruin it all.

If you believe in the ‘butterfly effect.’

Actually it was just to provide information, I knew it wasn’t linked exactly like that. But you are probably right. 5 is a logical stopping point. I hope
