Muse Treasure Hunt - and then I solved something!!!!11!one!  
Today I woke up after only 2 hours of sleep again. Dammit, why is it that I haven't slept enough on the days when there's really something going on?!

Everyone was still going crazy over a tweet from the band and some other things that amazingly made sense together but I'm sure mean nothing. 7th city, where the lines cross is Baku, a whole lot of chess masters are from Baku.

In Moscow we had 3 people tweeting! Was 7am here when it started. Took a long time for something to happen. At 7:45 one of our chosen tweeting ones wrote that some girl no one knows got the key. The other 2 tweeters and the rest of 20 people there hadn't seen anything. Because no one saw her everyone stayed and waited some more. It was 5 to 9 when we finally learned the mysterious girl is from a Russian board and posted there that she got the key and will be home soon.

And then we all went crazy when the Station got primed and our riddle appeared. There were three examples of names of KGB agents paired with seemingly random numbers. Finding agents wasn't a problem, but finding out what the numbers were was hard. But still the names & numbers were solved surprisingly fast. Pretty much everyone just guessed XD! That's what I did too, I gave up on reading the thread and theories about the numbers and just tried. Tried maybe five names before I got lucky with George Blake and the also about 5th number I tried for him. Wooooo \o/! Now I contributed something. Now I can sit back and watch this hunt with less pressure (bwahaha, like I can resist to try and solve something again). *relieved sigh* I feel like I really can say 'we' now. I participated in the hunt. Successfully. I'm a part of it now.

So then we got the 3rd part of the song. And it goes epic! Sounds very Queen. Sadly, this is not good (Queen, I mean - epic is good). Not for me. Because I freak out easily, I don't like when bands change their style. When Panic! at the Disco went all Beatles that was a big WTF moment. But it wasn't as bad as a Muse style change would be. Panic! < Muse. You know, if it isn't broken, don't fix it. If I absolutely love your style, don't change it! Queen = Queen, but Muse != Queen. Simple. I know, it's only one song and only a part of it, but as mentioned above I freak out easily. It's like my default response to change. So I only listened to the third United States of Eurasia part once and then stayed away.

It was just around noon and Dubai was gonna start at 5pm here, so I decided to sleep a bit.
