+ | April 20th, 2013 marked the 6th annual [http://recordstoreday.com/ Record Store Day], a global celebration of independent record stores for which record labels produce special limited edition releases and reissues and distribute them for release on this date. On this date, twitter user [https://twitter.com/ImNoPandaBear @imnopandabear] found a mysterious [[Boards of Canada]] 12" vinyl in [[http://www.othermusic.com/|Other Music, NYC]]. This vinyl provided one of six messages forming part of a 36-digit key. Following this event, more messages have been broadcast over different media. Despite initial skepticism, the [http://www.youtube.com/user/AtalantaFugiens AtalantaFugiens] YouTube account (known to be [[Live_@_ATP|official]]) updated the annotation on its [[Julie And Candy]] live video to briefly show the key format at time 4:19, confirming the legitimacy of the record. | ||
β | + | = Key and Message Format = | |
β | + | The term ''key'' refers to the entire 36-digit code. The term ''message'' refers to a broadcast which provides any number of digits from the key. The term ''message position'' refers to the position of the message within the key. | |
β | |||
β | |||
β | + | It is unclear at this stage whether the key represents a mathematical challenge, or an encrypted ciphertext, or a key for decoding some as-yet-unknown ciphertext. If it is ciphertext or an encryption key, then information theory (and in particular Shannon's noisy coding theorem) tells us that it is not useful information until the full message and its related key/cipher is known. | |
β | == Key | + | ==Key Format== |
β | The | + | The key is 36 digits long and numerical in nature. The message titles suggest that the key follows the format:<br/> |
+ | ------ / ------ / ------ / ------ / ------ / ------<br/> | ||
+ | So far, we know the following 30 digits in the key:<br/> | ||
+ | [[Record_Store_Day_incident#Hint_4|699742]] / [[Record_Store_Day_incident#Hint_5|628315]] / [[Record_Store_Day_incident#Hint_2|717228]] / [[Record_Store_Day_incident#Hint_1|936557]] / ------ / [[Record_Store_Day_incident#Hint_3|519225]] | ||
+ | <br/> | ||
β | + | The message [[Record_Store_Day_incident#Hint_4|699742]] was originally broadcast on NPR without a title to divulge its position. | |
β | + | A recording of "[[Record_Store_Day_incident#Hint_4|699742]]" along with a [[Boards of Canada|BoC]]-themed video projection with the symbols XXXXXX/-------/-------/-------/-------/------- on a shop window opposite [[wikipedia:Rough_Trade_(shops)|Rough Trade East]], was played on 27 April in London, confirming the position of [[Record_Store_Day_incident#Hint_4|699742]] at the start of the sequence. | |

β | + | The vinyl found in [http://www.othermusic.com/ Other Music] is a 12" record found in a sleeve bearing the following marking: | |
<blockquote> | <blockquote> | ||

β | + | The message on the vinyl is "[[Record_Store_Day_incident#Hint_1|936557]]" and can be heard [http://hosting.earthshine.it/~mark/boc-V1/4-936557.mp3 here]. According to a store employee, the record was hand-delivered by a Warp Records representative and is one of only 6 in the world. One other identical copy has been found in Rough Trade East, London. | |

It was deliberately misfiled under Techno and placed backwards as well. It then had to be removed at some point, as 'somebody' needed to get a photo of the customer buying it (and BoC it up with a blank face), so it was put back into the racks on Tuesday morning, waiting for someone to chance upon it.

Also at this point the [[Boards of Canada]] [[YouTube.com|YouTube account]] updated its top favourite video to "[[Everything You Do Is A Balloon]]" fan video. On that fan video, a comment from a YouTube account hellinterface links to the nuevas semillas private video (video 3) shown above with interesting graphics from little house on the prairie. That private video contains a link to the fourth video (video 4) shown above in which the new message is played (with digits [[Record_Store_Day_incident#Hint_2|717228]]) and the message position is flashed on screen. | |
