So, girls and boys, I am back!

Have you missed me?

No?

Come on!! At least did you miss the results of the guessing game set on Sunday?

There were already those who asked when will be the answers revealed? Well, I promised the results for this evening, as earlier would not be possible. I was the special guest in the world of miss migraine. To be honest, I didnt want to visit her, but she just pulled me into her world. The doors were locked, and it was not easy to find out the way from there. Luckily, some of the comments that the Sunday post received made me laugh and I felt better; it gave me some more optimism.

And you all are also optimistic to see did you win the game? Did you give the right answers to the questions? Are there even winners in this edition?

A big mystery - until some of the next paragraphs :D

metronome beats

The metronome was a big issue there. First, it was playing with me and refused to work properly. And later, I see it played with all of us. The exact number of the metronome was difficult to guess. Counting them was the only option, but it couldn't be heard, so yes, that was not easy. For that reason, as a part of today's video, I set the sound of the metronome so we hear it and count the tick-tacks. Also, I am showing my abilities in mathematics hahaha.

Btw, did you know the metronome can be also used as a musical instrument not just as a device to help us set the tempo and practice the sense of timing? A Japanese coposer Toshi Ichiyanagi wrote a piece called Music for Electric Metronomes in 1960, a pretty avant-garde composition. It is an aleatoric composition that means some of the elements of it are left to chance and to the determination of the performers. You can check it out here. But what I wanted to show you is the composition by György Ligeti, Poème Symphonique for 100 metronomes. I wonder, how would my mischievous metronome work together with another 99 ones.

This would definitely be more difficult to count. We were lucky that I set just my metronome for our guessing game.

music

Until now we know what it wasn't!
It was not a piano piece from the classical music genre. It was not an instrumental cover of a song. It was not Jingle Bells as @ audiohive-me said, well it was Ruth who offered her guess. It would be a bit eerie Christmas carol. Neither was it music for lifts as @ edje said. No, it is not music from the Westworld TV series either, @ leaky20. There were people who tried to use Shazam, like @ samostically and @ almostsober, however, the tune was changed and no answer to the question came. What it was can be heard in the first part of the video, this time I played with accompaniment that resembles more to the original version. I played it this morning in my classroom before the first student arrived.

So, you will try to guess again or I say the answer?
Ok, ok, the music is from a TV series I really liked to watch, Dexter. The theme: Blood Theme, composed by Michael Hall. And we had one participant who guessed from the first attempt: @ leourrio31. He was right from the beginning, however, he didn't guess correctly the number of the metronome beats. Later, @ edprivat also said it was Dexter, but he was not the first to say it.

comments that made me laugh

I really loved reading your answers, some were serious and some very funny. Some people came just to greet me, thank you my dear @ littlebee4, @ peaq, @ naradamoon and @ musicandreview for your engagement and shown kindness!! Also thanks to @ khaleesii , @ draysax and @ ludmila.kyriakou for the guess. Unfortunately, the exact number of metronome beats was not given.

However, there are some winners in this game. All of us are winners for having fun but also I decided to give two small prizes to the one who guessed the music from the first attempt @ leourrio31 and for the comment that made me laugh the most, written by @ trashyomen. Check it out and try not to laugh. Impossible, right?

I will guess it was at least 3 clicks, perhaps 5. And for the song, at first, my phone was on mute so it was the sound of silence XD

🤣

If you checked the new video, you can see how I get the number of the beats that the metronome marked. As I already mentioned, I set the volume of the metronome footage on and put a bit lower the volume of the music. The answer was 75!

In the first part of the video I play again the same tune, but with a different accompaniment, a bit more similar to the original version, Blood Theme from Dexter.

I hope I didn't miss anybody to say once again thank you for your participation, and to ask, next Sunday another question can come? The two winners will receive 1 hbd each in their wallet, soon :))
