Uncovering the mystery about the timer that is ticking to zero...
Play the drums.
And...
It's simple, really.

So, buckle up. You're in for a ride.

I'm sure that countdown timer has changed colour since I saw it this morning, or am I losing it?

Ugh I can’t believe it’s a mystery crime with no dialog. How would Sherlock Holmes/Puaro/Crusoe explain it to the reader? |

I think Not. I'm a right-brain type of person - graphs and numbered sequences and codes etc., I'm up the creek without a paddle. Visuals or movie clues, or words are more like it for me. Having run OWCs myself however, I know how hard it is to give clues but not give the game away. |

Nah, I still know nothing, Kham.
The first clue gives an idea, but that came from Chris's deduction..: Actions speak louder than words, maybe... but the rest I'm stumped with. |

3 variables are required for all who enter. 2 remain static, consistent, same for everyone. The 3rd variable is… indicative of genre, character? A color has a red, green, blue value; your clues were color hex codes, 2 can remain constant, as in green, blue but the third (red in this case), can change from 0 to 255, changing the hue or main properties of the color but increasing or decreasing the saturation (lightness, darkness) of that color.
The timer is displayed as red=0, green=153, blue=153, or Persian Green. I can change the red from 0 to 255 and remain in the Persian Green color value, but the overall saturation moves from a deep color to washed out value.
The story has to contain two of the same variables, the third can change. Just thinking out loud.
Correction, red can only be pushed to about 150 before it's totally washed out to gray, then it moves towards the red color values. Not sure now what this all means; I'll just stick with 2 known (story) variables, and the third is unknown... |

So, you just submitted a thesis, Rick! You might get your Ph.D.! On a serious note: You got your HEX code part right. But it is not the colors, rather the first clue that I gave in the first post of this thread. The color part has no value here. I did not prompt it. It's all Don. I'll just stick with 2 known (story) variables, and the third is unknown...You nailed it! But you can still find that unknown. Clue#4 |

Okay, last kick at the can. Is it a... Murder Mystery?!
I was busy building a fence during the Halloween OWC and had like zero time to do anything, that's done now, and it's supposed to dump snow on our neck of the woods today, or tomorrow, so I'm hoping I'll have some down-time to do some writing in the next week! |
