UPDATE: (3/31/15): "Parson's Code"

So after crawling the image for audio cues, and having a ton of different versions of those tones around, we had a deep discussion about how we could resolve the issue of everyone across the internet coming up with so many solutions. How could the dev resolve that?

So we were thinking...what information spans across ALL the recordings? Depending on the person, the speed, the frequency range, the filters they applied...they all sound different. Not repeatable.

Except for one thing: the tones in relation to eachother...the ups and downs. So we scoured the web for some kind of way to turn this into information, and user SpreadMutation found a great idea: Parson's Code.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsons_code

It's a way to search for a tune based on it's "ups and downs", AND the site we are using let's you enter a keyphrase..."OF MY MIND".

We're still trying to get something usable, but in the mean time, hop on with your favorite audio version and start looking for a relevant song.

It's also worth noting that the festival for Terminus occurs on Feb 23. Some great Roman dates info here: https://books.google.com/books?id=Hl4VAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA334&lpg=PA334&dq=ovid+december+31&source=bl&ots=J1S4u73Y_p&sig=7y9Ai9QQIW7EPpjWMsun2LIy40Y&hl=en&sa=X&ei=P2sEVcmlMoiZNtrPgKAJ&ved=0CDEQ6AEwBw

The calendar was updated to the Julian one in 45 BCE, before Ovid was born. This update included making December 31 days. http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/julian-calendar.html

Going with the Julian calendar would also eliminate any discussion about the intended year.

But I honestly don't know.

This is probably also unrelated, but I searched "It is all in vain, my lord" and I found that it was part of a book called "A defence of the people". https://books.google.com/books?id=82cTrUejFVEC&pg=PA40&lpg=PA40&dq=%22It+is+all+in+vain+my+lord%22&source=bl&ots=eCb_0VNx0F&sig=AWat1C6sEdiRWVU2iPiCS4bvEFw&hl=en&sa=X&ei=nmsIVeKEBc30oASb44KQDw&ved=0CCwQ6AEwA...

Probably unrelated, but whatever.

I've been working to get a cleaner audio from the image, here's my current pass: https://clyp.it/1tchomha

Once I find the exact frequency, I imagine I'll get a perfectly clear set of tones. This reinforces my belief that we are working with an audio spectrogram.

Checking the wayback machine, this info was always there, here's the page in 2015:

Basically "on the day before" but the day before which? From the reader's standpoint, sure, it could be the day before January, but from the writer's standpoint, it could mean yesterday.

Also, I heard that the second hand might be moving at half the speed of real time. Any thoughts?

I'll just add this coincidence I found. According to Wikipedia, the annexation of Crimea started 23rd of Febuary 2014. That is the only border change in 2014, also according to Wikipedia

It is possible that the first line of a date PRIDIE KALENDAS IANVARIAS MMXV is an answer for another riddle because the next line of "perfer et obdura dolor hic tibi proderit olim" or Bear and endure, someday this pain will be useful to you" means that clue is useful at a later date. Not that the puzzle can't be solved until that date, just that the first part of this riddle is used, someday, in a later level. The hint was posted as "The Riddle continues tomorrow" could mean "The Riddle" enables you to move forward to continue to another level. The think TERMINUS and "The Puzzle" are the key to this answer. Searching for The Riddle of Terminus has led me to here: https://books.google.com/books?id=cysqnfvAUEAC&pg=PA181&lpg=PA181&dq=%22riddle+of+terminus%22&source=bl&ots=-t3prLJ9FA&sig=QdBG7hrdy5IdskSIQaLORlYNfv8&hl=en&sa=X&ei=5QsGVbPfNZGGNv3qgegJ&ved=0CCAQ6AEwAQ#v=one... & http://cejsh.icm.edu.pl/cejsh/element/bwmeta1.element.e6119327-b118-3f03-8e20-dc4d45956e0a

The text gives the Riddle of Terminus as variations on the phrase "death yields to nobody?" I do not have an iphone so I cannot test this theory.

I have noticed something odd about the phrase "PRIDIE KALENDAS IANVARIAS MMXV". In researching similar phrases on line I discovered that in apparently all publications written in latin using the same method of dating, the date is always written before the words PRIDIE KALENDAS IANVARIAS. Here is an example from a poem written by the pope. There are many other examples like this online.

Maybe MMXV does not refer to a year. It seems unlikely to me that this dev would make a mistake like this, if it is a mistake..

Great work brainfailed. How did you get a binary "file" though -- or think to rename it to a png? Wow. A code 16k decoder is actually the ONLY barcode decoder I can't find. This is evil. The only work around I can find is that THERE IS a 16k reader as an extension of Microsoft Visual Studio. If you have a MS machine, which I don't and the hellaciously expensive Visual Studio. Maybe someone has that at work? If so, here's where you can get the extension:

I found the movie is in the MUBI database too, so maybe sometime it will be available for streaming.

I am being really paranoid, but what if "the time" we were supposed to solve the riddle was when the movie was available in Mubi? I mean, I can't find the movie anywhere else, not even in torrent files... I think that what you found could actually be something.

After some research, I found this frames from the film.

So, I'm sitting here at work, unable to join IRC to ask this question, but in my random searchings, I found the music that I guess used to play in the app, but I started playing after it had music? It has some similar sounds in it to the https://clyp.it/1tchomha but I'm unable to do stuff with it at the moment, like play it backwards… The song has it's own YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCLWRBlsCHs Can someone please tell me if they are similar or if I'm just crazy? If I'm not crazy, the song is called Interlude by DJPremiere (Primo). Like I said, please let me know if I'm crazy or if this is a decent lead. Thanks!

First time here. There's a new book from Ovid that is slated to come out 12/31/2015. Check out http://www.amazon.com/Ovid-Amores-Prolegomena-Commentary-Volumes/dp/0905205405. Wonder if there are any correlations. Maybe "terminus" is the last word in the book. Just throwing it out there

UPDATE: Just finished watching the movie and didn't see anything that I thought was useful, but I also still have a splitting headache, so I very well may have missed something.
