    Well, deciphering the letters doesn't give me much.

    I get the impression that the scattered pieces of paper indicate what you suggest.

    Unbelievable! You deciphered my 29th encrypted data packet!

    Thank you - you deserve a reward!

    The images of the scattered pieces of paper were holding places for missing letters.

    Rank update!!

    Okay... just for fun, I processed all of the data and posts on this thread to see where everyone stands (rank-wise) in the running for the Grand Prize...

    So far (taking into account who has solved the most, who has helped the most, who has tried the hardest, who has the best manners, who has accumulated the most eligibility points, who has been given the most eligibility points, who has really tried, who has dropped the most hints, who has given it their all despite chasing red herrings and going off on wild goose chases, who has finally understood the hints, who has used both sides of their brain to the fullest, who has stepped in at the last second to solve the puzzle, who has taken the wildest guesses, who has come up with the most amazing deciphering ideas, who has blown the most gaskets, who has lost the most sleep, who has shown the most devotion to deciphering, who was the fastest at solving the puzzles, who has solved the most puzzles in a row…etc) this is the updated top 10 list of names of who currently has the best chance of winning the grand prize of a Parrot AR. Drone (a cool hover toy!!!)

    1. staulcub
    2. hiurdin
    3. pajo_ojap
    4. cjsbug
    5. cloudcastles
    6. jwcasser
    7. Daldaris
    8. da shiz wiz 19
    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!! :D

    Dude, the hours you keep are killing me! Again great work! I decided sleep was the better part of valor this time. I managed to sneak a peek at the puzzle around 2a (I woke up hungry so I grabbed something to eat and stumbled around the house for a bit) and the best I came up with was 'A PULLOUT V JUMBLED UP GOOD'. Hey atleast I had the 'A' and 'JUMBLED UP GOOD' part. I figured I would need to edit the sound closer to solve this one but didn't want to mess around with it in the middle of the night/morning. I was hoping it might still be unsolved other work would/will have prevented me from doing any serious sound editing on it anyway.

    Again congrats. Forward people.

    Thanks, pajo. The way that I solved it had nothing to do with editing the sound though. When looking at the letters I saw the JUMBLEDUPGOOD piece then started working on the other parts. Like you, I tried PULLOUT, but then I figured that I would try words ending with ULL and found FULL. After that, I looked for a word that was like O?T?V? and found OCTAVE.

    I was to tired to put much thought into it but I was also thinking what words ended in 'ull'. My real problem was the 'V' and were it fit into things. Anyway

    GO RANG..., oops... um sorry...go yanks. :D
