Ok im really proud of my discovery here, I know its not much but it may lead to more. In the "road" on both the single and album covers there are red lines..........think of it like hangman, on the album one there are enough spaces for X & Y. 3 red lines. On the single cover there are spaces for speed of sound........12 spaces in all. So the dotted line represents the album and single titles..........now all i have to figure out is how the blocks fit in! OMG i got it! Look at Speed of sound........in each column below and above where the letter would be......both 's' letters have the same formation of blocks. Both 'o' have the same formation of blocks. So each letter is represented by a letter from an alphabet of coloured squares. For example, every S is black grey red orange (order of blocks from top to bottom)

 

 

Oh yeah :idea2:

 

By the way check out the roasting I got from Dr. Pepper in the 'Album Section' :lol:

well spotted that man !! that should go a long way to figuring it out !! the blocks are i columns - one for each letter - notice the same arrangement of blocks for similair letters. just gonna work out if it's 8-bit ascii .......

WOW!

 

You actually tried to figure it out!?!? :lol:

well, it's not 8-bit ascii coz there's ten rows so it's ten bit. so it's some other code - maybe machine specific to the punch-card they based it on.

WOOOWWWWW!!!!! :o :o :o

genius!

i re-edited the post for those who missed my explanation on the blocks

But where did you find the speed of sound cover?

I've seen only the red one...

genius!!!!!

:stunned: :stunned:

I mean...this one is new for me...

 

 

genius :stunned: :o :stunned:

it came in the email news from the official site........so do you guys agree that i have done it or what? i need feedback

Oh it's also in my e-mail!!! thanks

I agree. Of course! That's the right explanation.

genius :stunned:

i wonder if coldplay will hear about my discovery! i feel on top of the world right now!

I'm so envious right now...

genius!

If only I'd checked my mail this afternoon!!!!!!

genius :stunned: :stunned:

well done!!! thats def right...it must be. i wonder if cracking that code makes anymore sense of the album cover? can it be applied there somehow too?

ya the first red line is for X and the blocks in its column are the blocks for the letter x .........then the middle is & and then the last line is Y, and the blocks in its column make up the letter y!

I added the cover your post owen, so it would be easier to see what you're talking about... ;)

 

 

For example, every S is black grey red orange (order of blocks from top to bottom)

 

 

 

 

if this is true... how do you explain the 'f' it has the same formation??? (black gery red orange) top to bottom. :huh:

hold on i need to look at the pic again...

there's also the yellow/orange square in the f :P

exactly, below in the f there is two blocks of orange/yellow........so that makes that letter distinct.

its all very clever but it all works out!

if only speed of sound contained an x or a y, we could match it to the album cover......but the red lines make it connect, its perfect sense

I think you could ask something from Coldplay now....

YOU HAVE CRACKED THE CODE!!!!!!

ya well i emailed debs my post, so we will see.........im waiting anxiously, i feel like charlie brown when he got his golden ticket!

hmm just like the old computer scan sheets... I see what you mean... :thinking:

 

 

just so everyome knows.. I'll try to post the image on every page so we could all try to see what the hell we're talking about lol ;)
