  • red denotes unsolved puzzles, green denotes solved

Four punchcards

Unsolved

  • It's believed the answer to the punchcards below will contain the locations of 4 other specially modified cameras.

Steps taken (spoilers below, if you want to solve yourself):

  1. The holes in a single string format, with 1 being right-most column, are:
    1) x32010x32000022002x32000222000
    2) 002210320003200232000000000000
    3) xx0222x02120x46454x20202000000
    4) x02210564477x02210x02020000000
  2. Punchcards are 10 x 30 in size
Speculation...
  • It's possible the holes may represent guitar chords forms as they appear in a tab format. eg: the first 6 numbers of the first card are "x32010" - a standard C chord. In which case each punchcard would then contain 5 chord forms. Many resulting chords however are quite varied from their major or open standard chords, though many are quite obviously standard major chords; so how they would define a code is still elusive.
  • In chord form, the strings may become:
-32010 C     -32000 C7    022002 Emadd2  -32000 C7   222000 Bm/F#
002210 Am/E  320003 G     200232 D/F#    000000 --   000000 --

  • a problem with chords is that odd ones may have multiple names, and different artists may disagree on what to call them.
  • The chords themselves may be the progression for a song.
