How it works
Listening to the tracks on the CD, the teams will hear a snippet from each of the named songs. Listening closer, they should realize that all the songs segments contain exactly one color in the lyrics. Extracting all the colors, they should recognize that all the colors are used in resistor codes. Indexing the corresponding number of characters into the title extracts a phrase:
| Song | Color |
| It Was A Very Good Year | green |
| Something Stupid | blue |
| Something Stupid | red |
| New York, New York | blue |
| I Like The Sunrise | blue |
| It Never Entered My Mind | orange |
| Little White Lies | white |
| Bein Green | green |
| Over The Rainbow | blue |
| Just As Though You Were Here | purple (violet) |
| Stars Fell On Alabama | white |
| Oh, What A Beautiful Mornin | brown |
| Someone to Light Up My Life | blue |
| Goody, Goody | blue |
| The Old Master Painter | blue |
| I Hear a Rhapsody | blue |
| Soliloquy | white |
Result: Short night, long day.
Teams should realize that many of the songs also contained night or day as part of the lyrics, and make another pass listening to them. Extracting all the "nights" and "days" from the songs, replacing a "night" song with a dot, and a "day" song with a dash, will result in Morse Code:
| Song | Night/Day |
| It Was A Very Good Year | night |
| Something Stupid | night |
| Something Stupid | night |
| New York, New York | - |
| I Like The Sunrise | night |
| It Never Entered My Mind | - |
| Little White Lies | night |
| Bein Green | - |
| Over The Rainbow | day |
| Just As Though You Were Here | night |
| Stars Fell On Alabama | night |
| Oh, What A Beautiful Mornin | - |
| Someone to Light Up My Life | day |
| Goody, Goody | night |
| The Old Master Painter | day |
| I Hear a Rhapsody | day |
| Soliloquy | - |
Solution
Reading the morse code will reveal the answer: seedy.
