To clarify: first sets of numbers are the positions of the singles on the albums.

Well that's why I gave up on this theory to begin with- they are clearly NOT! Clever if this is the answer. I took "what they have in common" to mean they'd have to be in the same position but now I see that it is something in common if they are not. From what I see, we have: 12,3,5 so spaces between = 9,2 4,8,2,5 so 4,6,3 apart 5,2,10,14, 4,3,7 so 3,8,4,10,1,4 apart 9, ?, 3, 5,7,8 (Life in Technicolor I I - ? Not on VLV) so 3 (LITi is #1), 2,3,2,1 apart 3,5,4,6 so 2,1,2 apart 6,5,2 so 1,3 apart Is this what you are getting at? How do you address VLV, since LITii is not on it and you said EPs were not included?

Sorry I haven't been able to do the edits yet. Tomorrow I should.

Are the songs on each album in some order having to do with either length or having guitar riffs?

Oh, and I'll keep trying. Love Revenge of a Lifetime!! I just heard X & Y tonight. Makes sense.

Wasn't Low guessed?

Does this mean that the song for clue 2 is an instrumental?

Does clue #1 have to do with lyrics? One theory I had was the position of songs written in first person vs third ( I vs we).

My other guess for 2 is M.M.I.X. I hear flute in both.

Is the answer to #2 Color Spectrum?

FINALLY listened to it - I'm always on the app. I see where it sounds like the Viva era, but you said it's not. One tiny request - can you tell us if it is a B side or unreleased, because, as I've said, I haven't heard most of those. I don't want to spin my wheels. It sounds sooo familiar - I feel like I know what it is. So is the idea that Nie had about colors on the right track? This one is very fun! Thank you!!

Ok so I've looked at every first and last song on each album and it's NOT that one is instrumental. That's only true of MX. Not true that all mention the album title in one of the songs. Not true that one raises a problem and the other solves it. I'm truly stumped.

Thanks. So we are looking at the first and last songs only?

Fellow hunters: Here are the theories about clue 1 that I have ruled out so far. Maybe we can solve this thing together by saving each other time going down the wrong rabbit holes: It is NOT: the number or position of the instrumentals, the number of songs that begin with the letter " A", the order of ballads vs stadium "anthems"/upbeat songs, the first and last song being one of those or the other, the number of songs, etc. Since some albums are so short, it can't be a pattern that ends the same, and it isn't the position of songs with videos and / or that later became B sides, or the order of their release. Check me on those last couple though.

Does clue #1 include EPs, and lives?

Well when you say that, I think it has to do with your first and last reference. Maybe something all share about what Order those songs are in...

And all have themes or stories...

Aren't all albums 42 minutes...

No. Have you ever been hypnotized? (I have!)

A Warning Sign...both talk about talking in loud voices.

It's been removed.

I Ran Away...enjoy your meal![emoji513]

Guy42, tons of gratitude!

Guy[emoji106] you nailed it! The aspirin related to the line, "and my head just won't stop aching, which was part of the same verse. Great job! I Ran Away, technically tied for finding another verse that fit!!! Take it away, if you are ready. Otherwise, Guy, over to you!

Yes. That's called lack of Self-control. Have you ever fallen asleep while still holding your cell phone ?
