    So are you saying that LP are not capable of taking what they did with The Catalyst up to 11?

    that's not what I meant. I meant, usually when dealing with audio-to-visual spectrograph stuff, you wouldn't be able to match the song with a nice picture of Chester.

    the "picture" formed from the song would probably be a bunch of weird zig-zaggy lines. and the audio formed from the picture of Chester would probably just be static. you can't just match audio to a picture like that. but if anyone wants to try it, go for it.

    IMO maybe the clocks showing different times means that theres a bug in the system. So maybe not take the clock to seriously at the moment?

    No I think it depends on when you finished the puzzle, so it's different for each person.

    Oh wow, the error screen that just popped up on the site makes me love LP even more. I realize they didn't actually program the puzzle site, but I am very impressed to see that it is using Node.js (a very new and cutting edge programming language). Generally, the companies that get hired to make these types of websites stick with the tried and true methods. Even LP's website backend is kick ass (though they should have done some scalability testing).

    On my phone, can't view the puzzle.
    Also, the mobile version of the forums changed about half an hour ago... Have you guys tweaked with it?

    Okay, I read all that page code.

    There's nothing to do now. That time lock needs an update on the page too with time of your PC.

    A Javascript variable called "puzzleSrc" is encoded on Base64. Is not necessary to do anything, I just need to decode that Javascript variable and I get that image.

    Right now, there's one image. We have to wait that others images pieces.

    Gotta agree with those saying that this is already much, much cooler than the puzzles preceding the release of "A Thousand Suns" :)

    There it is, the cutting edge factor goes from the art all the way down to the web programming xD

    It could have been, but that would have been poor design and it appears that it doesn't use poor design.

    http://burnitdown.linkinpark.com/javascripts/init.js

    [​IMG]

    On sourcecode of burnitdown.linkinpark.com there's var sudo, line 199.
    <script type="text/javascript">var sudo = "1543320510414999"
    It changes everytime you refresh, but it seems not to work for me. It actually works, you have to use defaults browsers.

    It's definitely possible, but we just doubt the band would make the snippets that easy to find. You might argue that the puzzle was easy to solve but I don't think the band intended us to check code at all ;)
