    So based on what I've seen here and what I've tried, I went way off course. After converting code to ASCII and got the weird message with RIFF and WAVE in it, I started researching the weird symbols it produced and learned it was base64. Went from there to create a bin file and was working on a way to convert that to wav in order to get some kind of actual sound. So yeah....I went way into left field, got lost and ended up at fruit stand. Someone wanted apple juice right? lol

    So, to sum it up, we went from .PDF > Hexcode > .WAV > Morse code = SONGOFTHEAMBER

    EDIT: And, of course, we come to this: 
    Congrats. I'll be contacting you shortly about your prize.

    Picked up another Python to flesh out my 5 that I already have built. I have all the other blueprints so it was more a matter of which I needed built.

    Well, we've gone from 20 minutes solve time, to 2 hours 15 minutes solve time, and finally 3 and a half hours solve time.

    The next puzzle will be the last one in this set.

    It's due this Friday (Australian time).

    Must go harder.

    Ok

    I mean, I suppose I could have split it to 250 to you and RabRhee, but I felt that one: 250 coins felt TOO much like a consolation prize, and two: RabRhee was the one who led us on the right track. I would've had it before you had I the full wave output picture.

    Sorry mate.

    No offence meant @ sleuthy but that was harsh in the first place.
    Tsunami got the answer and explained how and where it came from . he should have won the competition let alone a share....three posts before, people were thinking the Morse was as dead end.
    I actually registered so I could post this!!
    I agree the leg work was being done before that but it was the same with comp 2
    I shall say no more... Just MOH.
    Slopes off to de–register........

    Ah well, despite my android game account being linked to steam and then to this kixeye account its not linked so I doubt I can get any coins anyway. :)

    To be honest I reckon best part was the puzzlemaster using the structure of the .wav file that always includes the marker to show it was a wav and going from there, really inspired :)  Looking forward to the next one, which I shall no doubt fail miserably at.
