For chords, I counted. For ticks, I watched the score/extrapolated extra ticks that made the score work out.
Now, I did everything up until the last 19 notes (17 of which are chords). At 3:20 or so in the video, the last three numbers flash as 246, so I knew the score was 4xx246. I went to the last place that we knew the 10000 digit, which was at 2:39. At 2:35, we see the score go to x6xxxx, which is 36xxxx. From there, I counted until I saw another digit which was at 2:39 where we get a 0 in the 100 place (xxx0xx), and I got 50 notes which means the score was 3700xx. After that, I counted how many times the 100 place cycled (2, 4, 6, 8, 0, 2...etc) until that disappeared and I got 55 times at 3:01 where it shows a 7 in the hundreds. With that, I went to 4257xx. After that, I watched as the score went up to 450xxx before disappearing and I counted notes until the 100 place reappeared at 3:17 with a 0. There were 85 notes which made the score 4670xx, and then I counted the hundreds cycle again until the 246 is flashed and that made the score 479246.
(479246 - [2496 + 200*55 + 2950])/200 + 29 + 19 = 2362
2496 ticks
55 chords before the ending
19 notes after.
Of course, I'm pretty sure there are 73 chords, not 72. This will make the answer 2361. The answer I put in was 2362. |
So I got 2362 as my answer. I missed a chord which would have made the count 2361, but I also messed up somewhere else. There were really 20 notes after the 246 flashed, not 19. This meant that there was one more notes, so 2362 |

^You're lucky I put that last green at the end of the song. I was thinking of leaving it out. :P _________________

JCirri, are the prizes coming ups or usps. Only reason I ask is I'm wondering where I should expect it (I put both my po box and street address just in case) |

You'd have to ask someone who won from Round 1 or Logitech directly as I'm not sure. Though I believe the staff units shipped via UPS, so that's probably a safe bet. I'm putting together the information now and have your street address on the list at the moment. _________________

Alright. If it's USPS, the PO Box is the better one, and UPS should be the street address. I'm sure either one will be fine though, so who knows, haha. Thanks anyways |

Yupp . I went from a random guess to pure maths. Only 2 notes off . But I will be honest, I DID guess the number of chords. _________________

Minus ten would've been first for the system on the last contest, which I was about a thousand over on with a pure guess... I guess everybody else tried harder too this time around? |
Pretty much what I did, but I took about 10-20 minutes lol and kinda just added quite a bit to it cause all I knew was 48xxxx but luckily I got 1 off yay. |
