Boy was I wrong. This is a full-on critique on male-female communication. There's something clear here: talking to your girlfriend is no easy task, women are impossible to comprehend!\rIn all seriousness, the puzzles were very tough. They took me a lot to figure out, and I couldn't make it past Mastermind."},{"author_name":"McDonaldsWizard","author_uid":"22461","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 5:20am","epoch":1367212500,"text":"very cool concept.

I got stuck (as others appear to have) when the pink character sings a fourth - I only had ASD, and I needed F at that point to copy her. So, I didn't get very far. Given your hint above, I tried and eventually got it, but it was pretty counterintuitive. I tried the Notes as Offsets puzzle next, but I was completely incapable of figuring out what you meant me to do. A bit bewildering. Some more visual cues or help might be warranted. But it looked neat, and was fun."},{"author_name":"radmars","author_uid":"18627","time":"May 12, 2013 @ 9:50pm","epoch":1368395100,"text":"This is a great concept but way unintuitive - I have a good music background and couldn't legitimately figure out notes as offsets.

I do agree that some of the solutions to some of the puzzles weren't exactly obvious.
