Looks like everyone has hit a brick way I think it game over unless someone can tell me how to make the sound backward so I can understand it I do not know what program to use
Any hints for what to use to extract the video from youtube so I can chop it? I've only been able to grab the audio.
I'm pretty sure the audio is not backwards, just chopped in bits. According to garbot1, there's video to catch as well.
I think I figured out what Garbot lol between the lines means actually look between the lines and you see letters I'll see if I can decode it
I am getting "The answer's your number". Am I heading down the path to the solution or the path to nowhere?
So here is what I am trying to figure out. By matching when a certain line shows up in sync with the audio. The line I used is a horizontal line in the upper left quadrant of the video. There are some other lines but this one stood out the most. The sound pieces I came up for my first attempt are : "all vers c er ins ma". Mixing an matching comes up with words like CALL MAIN SERVER(S). MAIN doesn't sound right when pieced together in the audio and of course nothing is coming up from that. My second attempt came up with: "all vers c er n s i g ma" again words like SMALL CALL CALLING SERVER(S) MY (ma). Which sounds closer to the actual word when pieced together in the audio. Still no go. The reason I got two different sets was I was using VirtualDub to try and piece out the sounds to the lines. The second attempt was basically by eyeballing it while listening to the video.
I'm just guessing here but... There are a bunch of lines (horizontal and vertical) which form on the screen. I think that if you edit the visuals so that the animated lines multiply continuously until the end... you'll find the audio solution that you are looking for... Of course I could be wrong
FINALLY!! Auto-message from garbot1: Unbelievable! You deciphered my 27th encrypted data packet! Thank you - you deserve a reward! To claim your prize, you need to be the first person to post the following to the official Hover World Alternate Reality Game thread at TouchArcade.com: 1. Password: SCRAMBLEDSYSTEMREBOOT_MEM_RECOVER_27 2. Precise details of how you found this page (be sure to mention this URL "iphone.ezone.com/COBBLER")! I pretty much pieced the audio together, but was coming up with "call letters". Once I had the vid, It was cleaned up a bit and I heard "cobbler"... Cobbler?? Really?? Sounds strange but what the heck... and Bingo! it worked 3. I'll nominate staulcub to share the points since he pointed me to keepvid.com
WOW!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! Cobbler!!! Who would have thought?! Cobbler? Cobbler? Hmm... Oh... who you go to for "REBOOTING" Get it? Re-booting... boots... shoes... cobbler...

Drone (a cool hover toy!!!) 1. staulcub 2. hiurdin 3. pajo_ojap 4. cloudcastles 5. cjsbug 6. jwcasser 7. da shiz wiz 19 8. Daldaris 9. KoOne23 10. warcrack Note: This list may change depending on how the rest of the contest continues... As you can see (if you look through this thread)... we've had quite a shuffle of names as we've progressed through this contest! So you never know! You've got to be in it for a chance at the Grand Prize! So get in there! If your name hasn't made the list - you need to try harder (you may just be in position 11)! Extra note: You don't need to actually solve the puzzles in order to be eligible... you may earn eligibility by just being helpful in the thread! Good luck everyone! Be on the look out for more puzzles!!
Nice work cjsbug! Dedication man! I think its neat to see how and what people use to solve these puzzles. I heard someone mention Audacity, which I was also using. It is a really great audio editing program that works on both Windows and Linux platforms. As I also mentioned I was using VirtualDub to page thru the video frame by frame and also see the audio at the same time. I know you can do some video editing with it but I hadn't tried. I'm curious to find out what other people were using for their video editing.
Hover Worldians, Would you all be so kind as to vote for my Flight Doodle contest submission on Facebook? http://on.fb.me/dxgdfz
