Soundboard CD Solution
How It Works
The applciation on the CD displayed an 8 X 4 grid of buttons. When a button was pressed, a sound played of a stylized quote. Each button plays a recording of a person (me) doing a funny voice.
Solution
- Discover that each funny voice is represented by exactly two sound clips.
- Discover that many sound clips contain a spoken number.
- Discover that some spoken numbers are homonyms. (i.e. "to" = "two").
- Discover that only one of each pair of sound clips contains a spoken number.
- Infer that, for each pair of sound clips, the number in one clip refers to the other clip.
- Discover that reading the nth word in each non-number sound clip, read in order on the grid (left-to-right, top-to-bottom), reveals the following sentence: I AM THAT WHICH MEASURES THE PAIN OF A CONCERT AND THE CAPACITY OF A JUG
- Infer that this is a riddle, the answer to which is: VOLUME
- Discover that reading the nth word in each non-number sound clip, read in order on the grid (left-to-right, top-to-bottom), reveals the following sentence: I AM THAT WHICH MEASURES THE PAIN OF A CONCERT AND THE CAPACITY OF A JUG

GC Notes
For this clue, Adam hid in the dark at a very creepy Fort, installed in a hill (so quasi underground). His job was to silently wait in the darkest, scariest part of the installation, which was a series of rooms that resembled a deserted operating room, which of course had a raised slab of concrete (operating table). He would do his best to yell and scare the teams as they walked into the room.
